I sure am! Thanks! And I have a motorcycle news update coming soon as well! :)

So it has 44 hp (33 kW) and probably a real world range of 100 miles (WLTP is usually pretty optimistic) and you mourn for this vehicle not being here?

There are airplanes slower than a stock minivan. The original Piper Cub had a top speed of 87mph. 

Possibly because he asked for a backseat.

It is symbolic writing, Jesus this is a cringey comment. 

It’s rare that I defend Erik, but in this case I think what he was trying to do is be cutesy saying “as automakers shift from internal combustion to electrification”. I don’t think he was trying to make any scientific equivalence.

I still can’t abide that stupid name. Look guys, Tesla already beat you to the punch - just pick a different guy to name your company after. This name just screams “we’re unoriginal - and we know it!”. Like that stupid Ram T-Rex edition.

Of the 53 issues that Hindenberg detailed in their report, only ~10 have been responded to by the Nikola team, most of which Nikola admitted to what they were being accused of (e.g. rolling the truck down the hill for their ‘In Motion’ promo video). If those were their strongest 10 responses, it doesn’t bode well for…

Did I miss something in the math?

Did the market for Toyobarus take a dump or something? Thats a great price for one with such low miles. When I was looking at these awhile back, most were like 10-12k with about 80k miles on it.

$100k is most likely the fully loaded model.

That totally explains it!! This guy was stalking me for about a week. He finally caught up with me and whispered in my ear, “P0103, You have a problem with your mass air flow sensor”. True story!

Krass, which means “awesome.” (I now refer to my van as the Krassler Voyager.)

David’s adventures with beaters are virtually the only thing on Jalopnik that DOESN’T irritate at least half the audience.

I enjoy it! David’s a good writer who always includes enough detail and pictures to keep any story interesting, even when I’m not 100% into the subject matter. He’ll get deep in the weeds on an engine rebuild or random cooling issue that I don’t really understand, but he breaks down the “this is why it’s bad” well enou…

YES I GIVE A SHIT! Don’t be an asshole! Many jalopniks live just for the “WTF is he gonna do next to top this shitbox?” with Dave. He actually teaches us a lot of useful tips in discussing how he approaches his challenges. If nothing else we follow for the Schadenfreude!

Yes, yes we do. These are some of my favorite articles on here. If you are looking for the latest review of exotic sports cars 99.99% of people will never be able to own, you have come to the wrong place. 

While I do enjoy the mechanical details of DT’s wrenching articles, there are always human interest elements that are equally entertaining. You didn’t get a warm spot reading about Loyal sucking in gas fumes for some random stranger?

Then.... don’t click the story.
