The JL isn’t really small. It’s 5 inches shorter overall, but the same width and height and with a much longer wheelbase. Basically it just has shorter overhangs.

I think this was a bit of Tesla’s fault here. Their emergency braking system didn’t work right.

Toyota is pretty far behind on a lot of things with the 4Runner.  Although the counterpoint is my 2010 Trail gets compliments still.

No sliding doors and tall floor = not a minivan

I was waiting but the new VW one wasn't regular minivan size. I wish our Sienna was a plug in hybrid. Having a 50 mi electric range would be enough for most days.

Renewable liquid fuels are not the panacea the Midwest ethanol co-ops would have you believe. They cause innumerable problems, from increased energy use to food shortages - when we grow ethanol corn, we’re sacrificing farmland that should be growing food and we're using lots of fossil fuels to grow, distill and…

I’m with you 1000%.

I thought the benefit for this is that a rotary operates the best under a consistent usage. This reads like the rotary only acts as a generator for the battery, so it doesn’t need to deal with the power fluctuations of an ICE, just on/off to power the battery. 

And they could probably throw a grill in the frunk and throw impromptu bbqs in parking lots! 

yeah, now they can flip an $850 digital table so you can be out a lot more money.

I would buy the Michelins because they have a cool looking tread, I am 41.

“For 2021 specifically, plug-in vehicles saved about 690 million gallons of gasoline—about two days of consumption”

Someone upstairs should quickly realize this means the headline is flat wrong.

Nuts!  Good catch.

FWIW: if I have diagnosed something already, when I drop off the car, I leave a written note with all the relevant info with the tech. Chances are that the person who you told, never talked to the guy who was actually working on your car.

Competitor benchmarking is pretty intensive. Even before they strip a car down to see how it was built, they wire it up to log every performance metric from the real 0-60 time to how quickly the air conditioning cools down the cabin. There simply isn’t enough time in a service appointment to do any of this to a degree…

“I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame” Musk said while completely missing the irony of the time he tried to do that when those kids were trapped in a cave

I care because his electability isn’t the issue, it’s the fallout from his lie filled hate speech and the physical violence that will be the inevitable result. Shitbags like him don’t deserve a megaphone to spew hateful lies.

Also particularly stupid of them to pick an analogy to a sport that literally has judges.

Basically I suspect that’s all who will be left (and even they will be actively seeking employment at a more stable environment). I worked in tech for 15 years, 10 of that at startups and even in the worst case scenario it was never this bad. This isn’t the IT space, this isn’t “Techbro culture” this is a person in…

too bad you can’t do a blood oath of fealty through the internet LOL.  Fuck this “business genius” to Mars and leave him there.
