Yes. that makes more sense. And I would go download Facebook just to like that comment.

Didn’t the U502 Explorer come in 2011? The L405 Range Rover came in 2012. Who can remember that Ford Fusion Aston Martin Grille? Or the Lincoln Continental inspiration from the Bentley Continental Flying Spur? Conspiracy theorist in me thinks Ford knew the future design directions of JLR and Aston when they sold them i…

And yet the most popular model, the Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor is $49,990 which is still higher than its low of $48,490 in 2021. The demand of cars propped up the used car market. That is going away and so used card prices will drop. But I imagine Tesla owners in the last 24 months might be stung by this…

I find anyone who thinks in absolutes (if you aren’t blue, you must be red) is the problem with our society without recognizing many folks are team purple. They just don’t want to discuss this issue with people because they are so entrenched in their position, they don’t want to have a conversation but instead judge…

That is very honest. I also would like to see other EVs succeed. I was looking at the F150 Lightning Pro. But I can’t help but wonder if they took an EV platform and made it verse an ICE platform, would it weigh so much extra and get such poor efficiency. In Comparison the Mach-E as a first attempt is comparable to a…

I 100% Agree with you on everything but that non exist here. It is easily seen in what is unsaid. I’m finding hypocrisy on the despise of him. Calling him a clown (someone’s opinion) is completely fine. But it is factually hard to take seriously when the guy should be credited for having other OEMs take Tesla…

Not in the slightest lol. I personally could care less about Elon (first sentence). Read my response to STLOrca. Its the leaning perspectives going full circle. And your presumption if I highlight one perspective’s flawed view, I must be in the other camp (when I almost always find hypocrisy on both right and left…

Hating Elon. Without him you can’t be intellectually honest and say the EV movement would have happened as quickly as it did as you pointed out in A). Him going full supervillain is a opinion. I agree, buy any EV. But simply throwing a ton of batteries in something instead of engineering something efficient is not the…

I’m no fan of T or Elon. But I am genuinely curious. Do people hate Elon more or care more about transitioning reliance to sustainable energy? I personally know some very liberal folks who despise Elon so much now, they want nothing to do with him, but years ago they despised VW for diesel gate, they love Greta…

Yes. If only legislation were passed for transparency on energy costs by usage instead of by time.

MPGe is stupid. Fix:
1) Switch to energy per distance. (ie liters/km, gallons/mi, kw/mi.)
2) Include an energy cost assumption. (already done.)
3) Annual Fuel Cost for 15k miles (already done.)

MPG is stupid and its been discussed forever. Just google it. Eliminating inefficient cars, trucks, vans, SUVs from the road is…

I have 2.
1) I’m surprised no one said the Dodge Dakota. Once it was available in 2000, with not just one but two v8 options and a v6 you saw them everywhere. In 2003-2004, you could even get front and rear disc brakes with a 9.25" LSD rear and AWD/4Hi/4Lo. Then the 2005 update happened. Sales dropped. They revised it…

I am curious if the Model S refreshed competes with a Lucid or a Taycan. Which direction will they take? Same for the Model X, will it compete with the Cayenne/Q8 or go Rivian R1S/Range. Or do they make a CyberSUV for the Large SUV and keep the Model X for the Cayenne/Q8 market. I will say the gull wing doors are…

With the maintenance costs of both ICE and HV powertrains. We’ve had a Lexus RX450h. The cost to replace those batteries with refurbed cells are almost as much as it is to refurb cells on a Model S. You still have oil changes, etc of an ICE vehicle.

I’m sorry, but hybrids are stepping stones from 2006 when the Prius…

Toyota seems to finally be getting it?? It seems like they are still sticking it with Hybrids. Aim for 1.5m EV sales by 2026? Meanwhile Tesla sold 420k+ in Q1 2023 alone, 1.3m last year, and is on a rate for 1.7m in 2023 how is that getting it? For a company that sells 10.5m cars annually, 1.5m EVs like 15% EV.…

I thought of the Bolt EUV and thought which is worse, the Mustang Mach-E or the the Mach-EUV. And somehow I made things worse.

I would love someone at Jeep getting their hands on a Ram 2500 Power Wagon and mold a Jeep Grand Wagoneer XL on it. 

A Prius has been available since 2001. The hybrid was considered a step stone. The Chevy Volt has been available since 2011 and was the next step stone. Calling the Prius Prime’s 44 miles of Electric range the next stepping stone is something the 2016 Volt beat with its 53 miles of Electric range. For 2023, this does…

I agree with you. The possession of voice was inferred to be Toyota, not mine.

The NSX story is bitter-sweet for me. I bought one in 2004 (a 1997, first year of the 3.2l and 6sp manual) in Kaiser Silver (grey, but not the same black or red you see every NSX in). It had 100k miles, but was dealer maintained. I just sold it in March 2021 with 185k miles and it went to the Royal family of Qatar. I…
