It does not “look cooler” however. I’m not a fan of the Model X.

No matter how you put it, rapid charging is bad for batteries. That said, in order to bridge the transition for a normal ICE consumer to EV, I see this as a necessary evil. How many people lease cars and treat them as long-term rentals and do not care about the vehicles life expectancy. This consumer might be open to

Sounds okay. But they literally could LEAD with SUVs and Truck.

If the H2 and H3 were designed with the same focus the current Colorado and Sierra are, and that was applied to below the skin as well, then yes they would not flop. An H2 was should have been GM’s Range Rover/G-Wagon/Land Cruiser based on a GM platform. The H3 should have been a Discovery/GLE/GX470/Grand Cherokee

Same. I don’t want a big ass full-size truck. I want a mid-size (hell really want a compact) but I currently drive a 08 Dakota that can tow 7000 with its 290hp/320LbFt V8. If you tell me a newer Ranger will tow 7500 and have 270hp/310LbFt out of a turbo 4 which for $500 people are tuning an extra 20-25% out of

I think Technology is becoming the new Luxury. People are looking at their vehicles as more than just mobile transportation the same way the iPhone is more than just a phone. Tesla will have to worry about the legacy automakers because they can scale quicker and faster and more consistently. But Tesla continues to

What information is this based on? is this a personal opinion? We already know that the Base $35k Model 3 RWD will have the rear 188kW Motor already being produced in the Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor. The smaller battery module has already leaked.

A key fob to unlock the doors or just walk up to the door and it unlocks (like a smart key) I don’t see this as functioning that differently lol.

You don’t use an app to unlock. It knows via Bluetooth when you are in proximity and it unlocks when you open the door.

Not me! A friend once towed his Audi Quattro A4 on a Tow Dolly with the front wheels on the dolly, and the rear wheels rolling behind. He simply put the car in Neutral and thought it was fine. Arrives with to destination with a burn tranny because he forgot the driveshaft is still turning and nothing is on to keep the

I’ve always been dumbfounded by FCA. When everyone is growing their CUV and Truck lineup, FCA has an arsenal at their disposal. I think Fiat should bring the Fiat Strada over. Fiat could sell:

Spartan or Futuristic? I think the bigger criticism is Tesla not using the 2170 batteries and PM Motor in the rear to gain more efficiency to hit 350+ range in the S or 310+ in the X. Speculation was this would be done with the refresh in Q1 2019 since modification to the floor-pan is needed to make the taller 2170

If he is thinking CTS-V Wagon or E63 Wagon, why not stay with the same ~ size as an E-Class or A6, but go Hatch. Audi S7. CPO cause Warranty, check. Performance, check (4.0T V8). AWD, check. Under $60k, check ($52.9k) https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/743344843/overview/

So many things could have saved Mitsubishi in the US. Like an Eclipse that was a 2dr version of the Lancer, including a GSX version. Or a new Lancer instead of the same one from 2007-2017 before it died. Or bringing the L200/Triton with a gas engine instead of copying the Dakota. Or a full size sedan and SUV/CUV line

As a Jalopnik, true. As a Car, only because the Magnetic Motor is super efficient in RWD. The understeering and undefeatable traction control happen in most cars. I suspect even the AWD and Performance models will have that issue, just tuned to have less understeer in Performance. That said, the chassis is there. I’m

Based on InsideEVs, I have the following:
