Well gasoline only accounts for about ~25% of world oil production (this includes commercial uses) and these plug in electrics are still only a novelty in first world nations, never mind the developing world.

Have you thought about a stroller? Or hell, even a diaper bag? We struggled with a 5dr GTI with the first child. Now, with two it’s impossible to go anywhere with both parents and both kds when a stroller is needed.

You’re right, but. Think his point is journos like Ballaban making the claim that it isn’t an issue even for the small portion of the population who do have that requirement. I agree with him that the fanbois tend to try and dismiss the legitimate challenges, even when they are niche issues, rather than just focus in…

Well, we all know from MPG ratings how accurate the EPA is in it’s estimates. The forums on Tesla’s site list real world usually coming in around 70-80% of rated depending on what part of the country you live in and what time of year it is, what kind of driving you do (city or highway) along with other variables like…

No, it looks like slightly photoshoped Model S

ICE will be nothing but a hobby in 30-40 years

I believe Musk. It will cost that little. I also belive you will have to pay for options such as sun visors, floor mats and a passenger side mirror. Think Kia Rio levels of standard features.

Also, the whole Hertz Mustang thing is more of a branding/PR exercise than an attempt to generate profit. I would not be surprised to find that the acquisition costs came form a marketing budget rather than general operations budget.

I agree on the one hand, but seeing as they are only building 140 of them I wonder if there would not be sufficient demand amongst those who can use their left foot to still log enough bookings to meet revenue expectations?

Toyota/Honda pricing except Chrysler reliability, fit & finish and resale value.

There...FIFY

Did Travelocity give you time off to read/post on Jalopnik?

Can you explain how/where they make this money? If they are, I’d really like to know how??

Uh, you don’t pay the EPA to certify your parts are 50 state legal.

It’s not about race cars...its about offroad use only parts being installed on street cars.

So after bifurcating every model in to at least 3 variants now BMW is looking to stream line? How many billions did they waste on development to realize what everyone else already knew: they were just splitting sales between models, not capturing additional market share.

F22 canopy’s are 3/4" (plus maybe a 60 degree slope?) and apparently have exceptional optics. It can be done.

Uh, sorry, that’s just not true. Not even close. You might be looking at 1/2"

How is the curved windshield different from the curved helmet lens??

Best of both worlds (I posted these pics a week or so ago and kinda feel like Red Bull F1 reads Jalopnik and owes me a consulting fee...)
