It would be registered as the Miata donor car, so if you add lighting and a seatbelt and it should be fine. Exocet does this for Miatas too, but with a more Ariel Atom flavor.

1st Gear: Tesla in India. At 5.5 M Rupees, should Tesla rather creates more golf type cars similar to tuk-tuk for the mass available at lower cost thus reducing 2-stroke engines that are for more polluting and would be more accessible?

No one buys a Tesla for durability.  Most people buy a Tesla because it is cool.

For some “body swap” cars I totally agree - see the Simpson Italia Classic which is basically still a Miata.

I am happy Jalopnik is targeting tesla. Only successful people are targeted.

The end of the 124 Spider allowed me to pick up a new 2019 6 speed Lusso, fully loaded with only 30 kilometres on the Odo and a full three year warranty, for 34% off the sticker price. I can’t touch a low mileage used one for what I paid for mine. Bought with Black Friday pricing, dealer just wanted it gone off the…

If you like your Miata’s uglier, with softer handling and a questionable engine, yeah.

I’m hoping that the Mustang Mach-E will go the same route as the Celica Supra and Legacy Outback. The Supra started out as a trim on a Celica, the Ouback a trim of the Legacy. They sold well enough that they eventually spun off into their own models. Use the Mustang name to give it a jumping off point and, assuming it…

The mustang Mach-E is awesome in every way except for that Godaweful name. Using mustang was stupid. “Mach-E” just sounds dumb to say. Mockey? It sounds like some type of fish.

IMO. If they wanted to cash in on some heritage and name recognition without defecating on the Mustang name they could have easily used Probe.…

I think the overall profile of the Y (and S and 3 and X) are the most aerodynamic, meaning most, if not all, electric cars going forward will have similar shapes.

The Mach E is pretty ugly if you ask me. Seems like they wanted an overall feel akin to Tesla. While I think Tesla’s designs are slightly overrated and the Model S is getting stale, at least the they’re cohesive and have presence. The Mach E is a blob with discordant Mustang elements forced onto the design.

The id4 will flip because the charging network is left up to 3rd parties. Tesla cars are whatever, but superchargers are clutch.

i know i am in the grays, and i don’t expect it to make it out of there for this comment. I have not been in a tesla or self driving car ever, but it seems that the commentariat and the authors prefer old carbureted cars that need to have jets always adjusted and points in the distributor cleaned and whatever the hell…

“Terminator taught us.”

Instead of the current tech journalism model whereby people who could never land tech jobs and possess no skills whatsoever opine and militate furiously about it, imagine we had the sportscaster model whereby former great technologists comment on developments in real time

I wish I could give you more stars!

To be fair, there are people who will want, and be willing to pay for a feature like this, AND know it isn’t actual self driving. It may not be a huge group, but they’re out there.

The dipshittery is real.

2nd Gear: So you honestly have a problem with a company that by your own words helps stranded people? This has to be bait right? No one is this callous around the holidays.
