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! 

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.

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…

These are the people who run lights and speed without consideration. I assure you that they are just as dangerous as the asshats in Altimas.

Literally none of this is true. These airplanes are fully recommissioned according to FAA regulations and are continuously refurbished / rebuilt according to modern specs.

It doesn’t help the largest refinery in the U.S. is owned by the Saudis and on top of that, we haven’t built a large refinery since 1976. We’ve had a long time to build new refineries but artificial scarcity is good for business. I mean look how we have less options at the grocery store but pay more and these…

The Biden administration does not control private companies. You seem to want him to, but that would be that communism thing you keep warning us about.

No. Those refineries are too old and producers are in a mode of hoarding as much cash reserves as possible.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....!

Shouldn’t the plants that are off line come back online and help improve the supply??
