to be fair, you then also have the problems of aerodynamics, crash safety, etc.

i agree that for limited production, or desirable examples of cars, yes, they should be left alone, or at least rebuilt in a reversible manner.

for computer software, it makes sense, as otherwise you could buy a disc copy/licence/whatever, then copy/paste the contents of it, then resell the disc/license.

yeah, if you pay the extra $69.99/month, the M bodywork unfolds from the car like in “Taxi”.

yes, but roman arches don’t have to meet tightening aerodynamic and crash safety requirements.

I would get if it was something like:
“you buy the feature when new, the feature stays with the car for the rest of its life, but if you want to get the more updated adaptive cruise/etc. , you take it to a bmw dealer, they fit a few more sensors and update the software, and that’ll cost you $2000.”
-that would make…

yeah, land rovers aren’t very good house pets, they leave oil stains everywhere.

or move to australia, we’ve got j70 cruisers, jimnys, wranglers, and cheap ex-military defenders with isuzu engines which just recently left service.

the overarching problem is that while mercedes was able to update the G class, and toyota was able to update the j70 land cruiser, they’re only(!) 40-year-old designs underneath, from 1979 and 1984 respectively.

Can we get torch to review a hyundai battleship next time?

so basically what toyota’s been doing for years with the cruiser?

so basically, tesla didn’t bribe them at all? ok.

part out the xc70, get at least $2000 for it, then you can fix one of the cars properly.

the starter doesn’t matter, it’s just a good rule of thumb for how beefy the battery, etc. is.

the american version of mad max, mad cleetus.

depends. does the car have a battery/starter set up to crank over a 6.2l V8?

crackpot CEO tries to sue journalists who give him negative press.
this sounds awfully familiar.

hmm, the id.3 is a premium compact car, the id.1 is going to be a smaller, more basic car, and the id.4 is essentially a larger version of the id.3. next thing they’re going to tell is the id.2 is an electric van or something.

yeah, you should get a doctor to check that.

i’m sure david would take it if it was a rusty jeep, and torch would take it if it was a brazilian VW with weird taillights.
