Or, ya know, the body shop can just take the car to the dealer after repairs and have them clear faults and calibrate sensors like they have been doing for decades.

It’s a modern vehicle with a modern airbag system, like side curtain airbags that deploy in the event of a roll over or in anticipation of a roll over. The guy goes off-roading and performs maneuvers that could roll the vehicle. Airbags deploy. Guy cries about it because the car did exactly what it was supposed to. He…

That specific photo makes is not very flattering. The proportions make it look like it should have sliding rear doors, and the rear is a bad interpretation of a Panamera. The Kia Vanamera.

This. I didn’t read Trump’s tweets this morning as just a vile disregard for human life, which it absolutely was. This falls right in line with his campaign of propagating ethnic cleansing. It a glimpse into the darkest part of this evil despot.

Today’s tweet was not about denial or deflection of responsibility. This…

You should be scared. For the next two days you may be sharing the roads with unrestricted EVs producing enough torque to alter the earth’s rotation, operated by people that can’t be trusted to keep their dicks out of their zippers.

“Tallest building bitches!!!!”

ICE - We pinky swear we’re not the new Einsatzgruppen.

Cars with a start button require the brake pedal to be depressed in order to start the vehicle. The brake switch is usually has a set of NO and NC contacts supplied with an unswitched 12V and alternate 12V and 0V for plausibility checking. If shorted, it will blow a fuse, and the signal will usually default to brake on…

Flug = Flight in German, so “Flight Place” or “Airfield”. Indeed!

Why does that Toyota look awesome and why wasn’t it sold in the US instead of the lame taco?

I was really hoping his speech slurring on stage was a stroke.

Simple solution for platform sharing, especially for unibody SUVs which require the use of a prop shaft. The battery is placed in the trans tunnel, fuel tank area, and engine compartment, usually forming a ‘T’ or 'H' shape.

The article title is misleading.  This is about manufacturing efficiency and it's not the first time an ICE car has been fitted with an EV powertrain.  Rav4, Smart, Fiat 500, and to some extend even the Tesla Roadster.  Tesla is doing it right by engineering an EV from scratch and taking advantage of the inherent…

At least he's not badly dead

I want the Audi Funk button. Not sure what it does. Presumably it makes the HVAC blow that weird moldy sock smell like you sometimes get when you first turn on the AC.   Ewww, what’s that funk?!

It’s going to look like a Ferrari covered in bird shit. Got it.

Eexactly this. I used to have a long commute. Lived in AV and commuted to SFV. About 120mi round trip. Doesn’t sound like much, but this is LA. A 60kW Model S would suit me just fine, charging to 90% SOC and I would still have enough remaining to go to lunch and run an errand. Just rent a car if you’re planning a long…

What happened Toyota?

Watch it frame by frame using < > keys.  You can see the nuts fly off.
