Well that too. I’ve never owned a truck before but I need one a couple times a year where I borrow from family. I wanted a convertible but that’s a waste from a utility standpoint. I wanted an EV but I own my ‘18 E63 Wagon so why would I replace it with something like a Taycan Turbo S, which is the nearest in…

Jesus. At least the only problem with my Hummer EV is Electrify Amercia stations tripping software safeties (which they do with Lyriqs and Blazers too). The Lyriq and Blazer appear to be running on Lucas electronics for their infotainment and other 12v electronics.

Same thing happened to me in a Hummer at the same station. Required the dealer to clear a “corrupted charge session” code. Also happened a month earlier at an EA station in Columbia, SC. The only two issues I’ve had in 3 months and 5500 miles have been the direct result of inconsistent power delivery (surging up and…

I’m still bitter about the life sized Cookie Monster not getting funded. My kid would have freaked out.

Even worse.  Attempting a j-turn in an SUV with 5 people hanging out of it.

Saw the video on Reddit. It was an attempted j-turn with someone sitting in every window sill and out of the sunroof, but the person driving probably didn’t even know that’s what they were doing.

Must have been an underinflated tire.

The bar keeps moving because these would have been 4-5 star results in the 80s and 90s.  I mean, you don’t even have passengers being partially/temporarily ejected from the vehicle.

It means “our investors will crucify us if we don’t use the term ‘AI’ at every opportunity, even if most of our customers don’t give a shit.”

EVERYTHING THEY’RE COMPLAINING ABOUT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ANDROID AUTOMOTIVE IN MY 2023 HUMMER EV WHICH STILL HAS CARPLAY.

Comically, I have a 2023 GM EV with the latest version of Android Automotive that is gawd awful because of their use of AT&T for data. Google maps is slow, supercruise barely works because it can’t download map data, the built in Hulu app is non-functional...until I tether the car to my phone or a Verizon hotspot and…

Christ. Not him again. Ride the rocket that made you famous all the way into the ground I guess.

The tower was at least under the $0.10/brick and a boatload of Minifigs.

I’m guessing between the $140k of the P550e PHEV and the $170k of the P530 V8

That might be the worst dollar-to-brick ratio I’ve ever seen.

The last thing I’d probably do is buy a first-gen JLR EV product...and I LOVE JLR.  Over a decade of driving them up to a current Defender 130.

I tell people snow tires are called snow tires for a reason. And mud tires are called mud tires. People think one tread will magically work everywhere. All I know is that almost every CT I’ve seen on the road is rolling on all-seasons with the “concept” cut on the sides for their rim covers.

I grind my teeth every time Tesla or someone they’ve told it to (Cammisa) tries to pass those tires off as “Mud/All-Terrain”. It’s an all-season tread with decorative mud tire cuts on the sides. It’s also why I roll my eyes when they do “apples to apples” acceleration tests against a Hummer EV on ACTUAL mud tires, a…

Surprise! We haven’t just been making cars deformable to absorb energy for the fun of it. The energy generated when coming to a sudden stop has to go somewhere and if it isn’t the car, the people inside are the sponges for that energy. Hit a solid object with a solid hammer as hard as you can and see how your hand…
