If a pedestrian gets hit by a car at 20 MPH, they will roll onto the hood and likely survive with injuries

I love how this reads like they’re talking about an invasive species.

If my passengers ask about crumple zones, I tell them to wear a sweater.

I’ve been in Europe in the Summer. The French would tow the Queen Mary behind a 2CV. This particular picture is from the Netherlands I understand, but I’ve seen similar things.

It’s probably also automakers lobbying to squash any changes to allow minicars because they want to keep charging more and more for their cartoonishly large vehicles, safety be damned.

Because many Americans think that rules don’t apply to them.
Several years ago, there was a big Internet hullabaloo about “why is car [x] rated to tow in Europe but not rated to tow in the US?” The answer was that in Europe there are strict towing regulations that are followed and enforced, while in the US, people will…

I will probably die in my AZ-1 lol.

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the…

Tavares makes 39M and is running the company into the ground. When thousands of jobs are lost and the stock is worth 75% less than it is now he’ll get a 9 figure bonus/golden parachute for a heck of a job.

I found it amusing that in only two days, port management was able to bump their offer from 50% to 62%. The money was always there.

Won’t somebody think of the corporations?

If I was Rivian, I’d scramble to buy back that guys truck, or trade him for a Gen 2. Not only are there potentially valuable engineering learnings, but I’d be eager to avoid the PR nightmare of this thing bursting into flame in a week because of damage no one spotted.

And if there’s nothing wrong with it, you can get…

He used to. I thought he and his wife Hannah bought a house recently. 

Ah Magnus, the Rob Zombie of cars.

Any word on whether water/mud made it into the cabin? If the cabin waterproofing is that good, then that truck should be used in their next ad campaign.

Tesla engineers take note: this is the result of a vehicle that was properly designed to be rugged and reliable. Meanwhile, a Cybertruck is bricked after splashing through an inch deep puddle.

Meanwhile, Cybertrucks brick from going through a car wash. 😂

Reminds me of a certain Toyota Hilux.
