I read the article differently from you. I don't read that they are saying that the pressure causes growth. I see it as forces being equal and opposite. If I am riding my bike then the pressure slowing me down is a product of my speed. The pressure is caused by my success and thus is a measure of my success and my…

Wow. Thank You.

I love my 4runner and it's a great vehicle and I think these changes are the obvious first step that a lot of buyers want and will probably make it perform better at higher speeds off road. I'm not saying it's not improved. Just saying that the Raptor changes were so different that they had to move all of the…

The Raptor actually has a reinforced frame and the suspension upgrades are much more based on a high speed off road performance design including a longer suspension geometry (control arms , etc) and long travel shocks. I love my T4R but the raptor really is a spectacular truck. It would cost me a fortune to modify my…

I'm surprised route planning didn't make this list. You pick a route that keeps you away from steep hills and on treated and cleared roads whenever possible.

Roads are slicker as the ice thaws. The ice is now frozen under a thin layer of water.

You know what that garbage truck smashing into your car does while you are blinded by the snow on your hood?

It's not easy being Dutch ok?

Wait 3 years for the kids to get bored with theirs and buy a used one cheap cause they are all manuals...

The MR2 Spyder was under 30k had a chassis designed with help from Lotus sat at 2300 lbs and has a stiffer chassis than the miata and all the MR2 coupes that came before it. Toyota sold less in 5 years than Corvettes will sell in a month.

Yeah normally you would have a secondary restraint strap hooked to the frame.

I landed on a sailboat...

Not all engines are equipped with them.

So I've seen cars in accidents that have had wheels torn off that are then driven to the side of the road but that's not significant? why is it that driving the whole dozen yards off the road make the damage insignificant again? I'm not arguing that there shouldn't be an investigation just don't think there is "proof"…

reread the post, the OC said it PROVES that the battery is fragile and that the fires are likely. I agreed that an investigation is necessary, just disagree that there is proof of anything just yet. I ran over something small and it caught between tie rod and the pavement and tore apart my steering on a 4runner.…

Of course it should be investigated, but you said it proved the battery is very fragile and that more fires are likely.

Sixth paragraph:"What was the debris in the road? Unknown at this point. Tesla spokeswoman Liz Jarvis-Shean told Jalopnik that whatever it was, it was very large. The object caused significant…

Does it prove that? Seems like a big jump to insinuate from one incident in 83 million miles for 13,000 vehicles that there's proof that something is non durable and poorly designed. Especially since it occurred after an accident that caused significant front end damage. According to the NFPA most of the more than…

Yeah so gas and diesel floats on water. You still would not want to use water.

This is the internet. Don't cloud the discussion with facts. Electric cars are the devil at least until I can afford a fun one. Till then jealous assumptions will do.

And if I drove my car at one rpm at all times then I'd care. Show me HP/torque curves if you want us to believe that these are at all equivalent. Lots of small displacement engines make crazy power at ridiculous RPMs.
