IMHO asking for a quote for a new car should be pretty straightforward. Either you want to sell for this price, or not. So if you cannot put that price in writing, in an email or a text message then ... what are you trying to do ? Cheat people ?

For second hand cars, sure, you might want to have some room for…

I normally don’t really care when manufacturers make something ugly, but this.is.fugly. I love the old style BMWs and the youngtimers and I can ‘deal with’ the new X7 facade, but this is... Wow. So bad. The iX3 and iX8 were oddballs, this is I think some deliberate try to NOT sell too many of these because either…

I also think that, right now, a plugin hybrid is a better solution than a full electric vehicle. You can always drive, range is no issue, you can charge at home or office or at a charger station if you want or have time.

You also don’t need to haul a yuge battery to cover enough miles, but you still can do probably…

I’m sure they can use a more sturdy material for the seats and hinges that might need to be replaced once a year aren’t going to break the bank neither. Batteries that are slow charged (e.g. at night when there is low demand) last longer than normal. Batteries that aren’t used up to the last 1% will last longer. A…

1. So why are cities congested and why is the public transport so shitty? Ever tried to take a train from City A to City B? Often there isn’t even a train. If there is, it is so slow, it makes more sense to take a highly polluting plane. There is PUBLIC money to solve or even at least improve the public…

I’m not 100% sure. If the car would keep driving and then get off somewhere the chances for someone hitting with at 60 mph while you stand still is less.

Imagine foggy or heavy rain ; it’s sometimes hard to see 300 feet in front of you. If you then suddenly see a car in front of you, standing still, on the highway,…

“it pulls the car over”

Ok if it does that then kudos to the GM system!

Everybody is laughing, but nobody is asking if the robot made it safe out of the car....

Ok I didn’t get that. Especially because the pictures aren’t the same.
+1 for watching The Office. +more if you also watched the original English one.

It slows down your car all the way to a stop? On the highway at night that is a recipe for disaster, right?

Also something as helpful as deadzone lights in a Volvo are useless in a city because they go off (they turn on) all the time so after a while you are ignoring them. Until one time you shouldn’t and then you’re…

It’s doable to build a plant in a year. Has been done by Volvo in China. From grassland to producing semihandmade Polestar 1 ‘supercars’. Low volume, but I also don’t think those semis are going to be sold by the thousands per month in the first year(s)...

Factories are surprisingly simple yet complicated. The…

I don’t get it that people want to go ‘off-road’ (or off-roading) with a brand-new car. That is going to put some dings and dents and scratches and whatnot on it in no time.

Just get some fine 10 year old Landcruiser, Pajero or Patrol for that. 3rd car. Use it just sparingly and it will go for another 5 without major…

No it isn’t. Open them in 2 new tabs then quickly switch between the pictures.

I know articles like these are free fuel on the fire when talking about Electric (vehicles) and Musk. He doesn’t get a lot of love from (ICE) car lovers. I get that.

But.

Something has to improve. Public transportation isn’t going anywhere. Bus? Train? Metro? In the US there is no money to invest in those and no…

How about a Mustang 2.3 turbo or the GT V8 ?

Love to see you doing this shit, at his age. Still working, making serious money and doing stunts. Your turn.

You’re very right. EVs? Good. Tesla EV? Bad, boring, <insert some weak excuse>.

(I drive an MB ML63 btw - the 6.2 NA engine).

1. Why do they need to stop the whole car ? Just send the ticket to the registered owner of the car and let him solve the problem who was driving at that time.

It works this way in MANY countries and it really quickly makes people realise not to drive (too fast) or not to lend out your vehicle to people who get you…

It’s quite easy to estimate WHEN you contracted COVID depending on your condition. So it’s relatively easy to check in everyone’s calendar to see what they did in that period. Estimates are estimates and might be inaccurate but in this case it’s probably 85% correct. If there aren’t 250.000 cases from Sturgis and just…
