An official Porsche head unit installed in a classic Porsche just made that car even better to live with on a daily basis which means we get so see them on the road more instead of collecting dust in a garage. Nothing is getting ruined here, and none of these changes are permanent. It would take all of 10 minutes to…

911s aren’t great for hauling people but you’d actually be surprised at how much stuff you can put in one

At $400k, this thing is going to be purchased by people who have a dock at their house, where they will almost certainly have their own charger.

Gotta love subsidies.

If an engine is designed to run ethanol then it’s actually pretty great for performance. Not as energy dense but it has an octane rating of 113!! It’s basically race fuel. Pointless of ecological purposes.

Much to my surprise, sugar beets account for 55% of US sugar production. But either way, it’s really corn (syrup) that won the battle.

Another way to look at it would be to say that they just found a way to reduce the net climate impact of aviation without having to change anything.

Who said they don’t come with a key?

It’s not just that there is a tunnel. The exit to YB Island is right there in the passing lane and extremely short.

Interesting to note, but there is actually an off ramp from the passing lane to get onto Yerba Buena Island bare a 100 feet before entering the tunnel. If you miss it you have to finish crossing all the way to the East Bay and make your way through the MacArthur Maze (a nightmare interchange) so you can head through…

I’m sure there is some tailgating involved but I have to wonder if the Tesla’s lane change was safe to begin with. Was there actually room to safely change lanes, or did it completely cut someone off causing them to panic and slam on the brakes?

This is exactly how heat pumps generate heat. Compressing any gas will increase temperature. This is described by the equation for Boyle’s law. Without the active compression and evaporation involved in the process you could never get the air to be warmer than the outside ambient temperature. Carrier actually has a…

No, it’s not but the 2 numbers are tied together in the motor vehicle registry. You can make the effort to bring plates with you to a new car (particularly in the case of a personalized plate) but most people with standard plates don’t bother.

The act of compressing the refrigerant generates the heat. So as long as it’s not so cold that you don’t need to actually compress the gas for it to become a liquid you can still generate heat this way.

I think there is only one acceptable scenario: If the subscription is for something that is getting regularly updated and improved (autonomous driving functionality, new infotainment features etc.) then I understand how a subscription would pay for the engineering team that is constantly finding ways to improve your…

After watching... wow. Maybe time for that old cowhand to hang up the spurs.

And of higher build quality.

Jesus christ, it’s CES, expect a lot of gadget articles.

The only new car from VAG is the ID.7? No new Audi or Porsche? That can’t be right.

I kinda get it. A lot of people are shelling out that kind of money for regular pickups. At least a Lightning will save you some gas money.
