Time to hop on Car-Part.com and fine you a used engine and a garage that can do this for much less. See:

JB Straubel (may remember hearing about his wife passing away 6 months ago by being struck head on with a car while she was riding her bike) was the former CTO at Tesla. He started Redwood Materials for this reason. It is really dendrites forming that short circuit a battery. But all of the material is still there and

I can only imagine what a LWB (ie Suburban, Extended Expedition, etc. competitor) would look like with the seats folded down. What a joke.

The gearhead side mentions Tesla’s build quality and harm to its brand’s reputation. But the Finance side of me wonders if that is true. Demand is greater than their supply at the moment. They have a huge backlog regardless of building more cars out of that 1 plant than other OEMs have.

This feels equivalent to

I have a vague feeling that if Sony produced this it would be higher quality than Tesla, and beat many of the Auto OEMs as a clean sheet build. I would be curious at what price point and scale they need to make the numbers work as Tesla seems to be the goal post to beat (on the EV side, not talking Autopilot,

Now you do not have to replace the battery pack for $20k. A $5k fix isolating the bad cell in a pack is cheaper and keeps the existing packs on the road longer. I think the right to repair laws are important for this reason. The more shops trained on

For the Minivan segment, Kudos to Kia for making the styling anti Minivan and more SUVish. Kudos to Chrysler for making a Plug-In. Kudos to Toyota for making a Hybird standard. Kudos to both Toyota and Chrysler for offering AWD. I’d really enjoyed seeing the 4-row Grand Carnival make it stateside.

It seems to me, they are trying to limit their Demo’s Warranty to the manufacturer date. In doing so, they put this disclaimer. But some of the Demos are probably 2020s, or may be even 2019s. So someone in Legal decided to go back to 2017 which is when the Model 3 first started being made to use on their Used

That is what Honda should have made. Yet they made a Passport that no one asked for. A larger SUV/CUV based on the Ridgeline’s stretched wheelbase would have sold well. Just look at Kia’s Telluride and Hyundai’s Palisades. Here is my futile attempt at it. But people want bigger.

But will the ID Buzz/ID Cali beat Kia’s Grand Carnival’s Interior Capacity?

Most of these comments focus on Pursuit of Criminals or Payout/Liability for accidents from Pursuit. Does this have to be Zero sum? StarChase (https://www.starchase.com/) allows you to tag them with a GPS and the Grappler (https://policebumper.com/) allows you to literally end pursuits.

This seems like a no brainer for

Aren’t the Front 6 Piston Brembos effectively the same 380mm Brembo Brakes on the F82 BMW M4? That car weighed ~3600-3800#s which is almost 1,000#s less than a comparable 2021+ Tesla Model S Plaid or Long Range.

I think they are an improvement over the 2012-2020 Tesla Model S Brembos, but I think this is the reason the

Let me google my 97 NSX VIN and try and buy it back :/

I would add the 2013+ Lexus GS to this list. Carvana has one now with 50k miles for $25k: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/3eb46689-a7bc-4a39-adc2-3cb7140d0e78/

Isn’t Jared Birchall managing director for the the Musk’s family office? It’s not Elon goes on to his eTrade acct and Kimball does it independently. It’s Birchall who does it all...

1) Ford Maverick Raptor?
2) Will we get a $25k version with AWD and tow package in the XL with a Vinyl Interior vs Fabric?
3) No Red or Yellow Exterior?

The only Kink necessary is some cross-sibling love. Ridgeline badly needs a Pilot face to copy them “adventurous” vibes.

This might be the one Lexus that isn’t depressing to drive according to them reviews...
