McLaren’s issue with their road cars is they take the same car or two, give it multiple variants every other year with slightly different incomprehensible alphanumeric names and slightly different styling, and do it so often that no one knows what is what and what are the “special” models and what are the “pedestrian”…

uh... wow. I didnt think people were still this in the dark. No its not a proprietary standard. Just Tesla is the odd man out. This is the SAE standard.

Please note, this is to be expected with beta software. It is impossible to test all hardware configs in all conditions with internal QA, hence public beta.

She’s also a professor at Duke University who does research on human+autonomous systems. She’s been focused on this area as a prof at MIT and Duke for 8+ years, so she’s definitely qualified to do government regulation / NHTSA stuff.

Unpopular opinion. I have a 2021 RST in this same color, and I think it looks fine. No better or worse than the Ram of F150, and certainly not the ugliest car ever produced in the history of automobiles like Jalop seems to think.

The operative word is they do... “now”. But as we speak ALL of the mainline automakers have their own fleets of EVs coming out. Tesla has basically had no real competition and that is about to change in a major way.

Need more details. Is this the type of thing where the salaried employee is trying to enter their work place, at a stop with no where to go, inching forward, while people stand on the hood? “See, they hit me!”

Or is this a situation of someone trying to force their way through a crowd using their car as a weapon or…

Toyota leapfrogged GM because they cannot make enough cars to meet demand. I’m far from a GM apologist, but this isn’t a naturally market driven shift. There’s still a ton of people who want ass ugly Silverados that can’t get them, and rental car companies that would love to fill their fleets with Malibus but can’t.…

Just to play devil’s advocate for a moment – is it possible that the Prius hasn’t changed, but rather what you want from a car has? I’m agnostic about the Prius and have found it an eminently useful tool on past borrowed drives, but my understanding is that none of the faults of the Prius from an enthusiast…

Who said that this was just for a car? GM clearly is getting in on the electric truck game, so that 600 miles of range may be 300 (yes I’m just guessing here) for cold weather towing. Also, who says that the 600 mile range battery packs couldn’t be sold to eventual electric semi-truck manufacturers, where range is a…

Leather (the real stuff, not bonded leather, which is basically collagen particle board) is an inefficient pain in the ass to use in large scale manufacturing. The move away from leather probably has as much to do with Volvo just wanting to be done with it as it does shifting consumer preference.

The first time that someone is hurt or killed by a Tesla on Autopilot (other than the Tesla driver), this will probably happen. Right now Tesla has been real lucky in the fatal accidents that have occurred have involved only Tesla drivers doing stupid stunts that killed them and violated the recommendations other…

The point of the Tundra is that it is a thinking man’s full-size truck

Just as some perspective, the current market cap for Ford, who actually builds and sells automobiles, is $52B.

It took me about a decade to learn that lesson. From the time I was 16 until I was in my mid-twenties I hovered right at that line of having enough points from speeding tickets to lose my license. I had to start hiring lawyers to knock down tickets to non-moving violations which allowed me to keep my license but cost…

I vividly remember a movie they showed us in driver’s ed (nearly 30 years ago) where they had two cars drive the same route at the same time, with one driving as aggressively as possible and one obeying each and every traffic law and rule of safe driving. The aggressive one reached the destination only a couple of…

1st: Does GM really have a choice other than sticking with LG? Battery cells are in short supply across the board. They can’t just drop LG and pick up a different supplier.
