The fact that it will come with either a full electric or a range extender indicates the range is going to suck..no surprise.

Yeah, it’s almost like the government has committed a minuscule amount of resources relative to what they have at their disposal half the world away.

I seem to forget, how much of the instability in Afghanistan is also caused by small arms? Oh, virtually none?

The people in Iraq were really able to stand up to our…

You must be real special if you believe that. China, and its’ billion of indoctrinated/nationalist population and largest world military would simply say “oh gee, you’ve got handguns and rifles? Well you can just have your independence then!”

Ah the good ol “My gun protects me from the big mean gub’ment” argument.

Do you really think your handgun, hunting rifle, shotgun, etc., would mean anything against a drone, an M1 Abrams, a Cobra, F-22, a tactical infantry/sniper squad, etc.?

Do you think president Trump (who is probably the closest thing to a…

The hell are you talking about? If they want to do business in California, and the other states that follow California’s regs, they will all be developing cars that meet the same guidelines. All automakers will comply.

The much more likely reason: Big Oil lobbying the Trump/republican administration. They do not want…

This.. sounds like an awesome name. Wouldn’t people be amazed when you told them what you drive?

Whew, a $95 adapter. Got em.

Right. Doesn’t the Model S have like an 8 year powertrain warranty? And they’ve been out for some time to work out the kinks..

We all know VAG has a flawless record with expensive powertrains.. /s

I live in Dallas. We are not “continually improving our roads” in a manner that magically makes this problem go away. Our downtown corridor (Woodall Rogers Freeway and the entirety of US-75) is a shitshow during any type of commute, and there are no realistic plans for improvement, whilst more people are continually…

I also agree, although managing exceptions gets weird difficult as people then just hunt for “how do I get around this mandate by leveraging loophole.”

There are some exceptions to this mandate, too, it isn’t a blanket mandate.

I don’t think Elon’s worried about the base model 3 being slightly out-ranged by the Chevy Bolt.

It’s not going to suddenly make people flock to the Bolt.

I don’t think it’s too difficult to figure out on a baseline.

A few states mandate solar on new constructions of homes. That number should be expanded, and should be expanded to include businesses.

It could also include new apartment complexes. Eventually, all new properties (in states with substantial solar access)…

Tesla keeps the prices of EVs high because.. they need to make money and fund their R&D. Other automakers haven’t gotten into the EV game widespread because they cannot figure out how to make the same margins with them they are making with ICE vehicles.

Competition is certainly good, but so far every automaker attempt…

Yes, 3,500 more commuters using the biggest grid-locked freeway in the city won’t at all be a burden to Dallas residents.

I don’t think too many people are whining about a lack of $100K sportwagons.
25K-45K, maybe you’re talkin.

I mean, you’re talking about paying $2,100 per month to lease the car.. I fail to see how having it out of warranty period is going to be much scarier of a potential monthly expense.

“On top of that, I think it’s safe to say that we are all on our phones way too much. Checking your phone has become the new societal yawn.”

What the hell does this have to do with anything? You sound like a crotchety old man in this article.

Not carrying car keys? That’s one less thing in my pocket (you know, for those…

There’s exactly one reason: Price.

GM is going to ride that 3.6L V6 until the grave

Why the hell does it need to be so tall? I mean there’s like two feet of space above the headrest. What can you use that space for??
