Grid level battery storage.  I honestly think that in the very long term, the grid storage side is worth more than the auto side.

When you give engineers the freedom and drive to succeed, they deliver

The car stig crashed was the same as the one that set the fastest (then) lap-time, just without the so-called Top Gear wing. It crashed on the first attempt then Koenigsegg took it away and added the spoiler before the second attempt. This race car is a whole other kettle of fish! Lovely looking bit of kit too

This.  I have no problem seeing in front of me.  A whole truck can hide behind the A-pillar on modern vehicles.

And if you are a moron with too much money, you can get a 5-series with 717hp...

Absolutely spot on.

Driver picks the music. Shotgun shuts his cakehole.

Given the Cybertruck’s difficulties with water, it’s better suited to the Moon than Earth

On it. 

I’ll try to coax her back out!

eh, jalopnik themselves are pretty flexible on outrage about environmental damage, depending on to whom it’s attributed.

Well, if you leave the vehicle running so you can have the A/C and radio on (it’s summer, and you need good tunes for this activity, I recommend WASP’s F Like a Beast on repeat) and then in the throes of passion, decide to climb over the seats instead of exiting and getting in the back (maybe because you are already

Caroll Shelby did this with one of his AC Cobras. Polished aluminum. Sweet ride, hard to look at on a sunny day. 

I did a few track days with the local Mercedes club, there were at least 5 newer E63s there and a couple CLS63s tearing it up. The bigger cars are still fun and good on the track when they don’t weight a million pounds like this one does.

There's also a point to be made that one cannot control the timing or volume of a crying baby of any sort, outside of extremely dangerous and illegal methods.  However, it's trivial to adjust the volume of a car's exhaust by the manufacturer (and the owner, if the manufacturer has provided for it). 

No, they shouldn’t. What about a stock exhaust that has a leak? Are the cops going to start putting these cars on lifts and only writing tickets if they can diagnose a repair? This is the kind of thing that only works in the imagination. In real life local noise ordinances will remain a thing

That is not how it works. States and local communities can be more strict, but not less strict, than federal law. Federal law only supersedes if it more strict.

The states are not allowed to make laws that are less restrictive than the Federal law; but they are allowed to make laws that are more restrictive. That’s how California can have its own emissions requirements (CARB). Unfortunately this results in a patchwork of laws that vary by state; making regulatory compliance a

CARB would like a word.  

Babies.  They're literally the real cry babies.  But we shouldn't blame babies,  you should blame the parents. Just like you can't blame the guy from the article,  you can blame your federal regulations stating what cars can be sold here and how loud they can be.
