It’s your fault for leaving assistant enabled. Step 1 when setting up phone or computer: Turn off Siri, Cortana, Alexa, assistant, whatever. On a good day the save you a few seconds, but most of the time they don’t work at all.

Stick on quarter panel vents have been part of the mustang since the original 64.5 mustang. It’s strange to hate on something that is part of it’s DNA. To me its a little weird when they don’t have it.

Yeah, it does nothing, but it was meant to evoke the original Mustang I Concept car. For me that gives it a pass.

Most cares are better with an automatic. In traffic, towing, commuting. MOST day to day activity does not need you to be fully connected with the car. you just need to get somewhere. Manuals are cool, but they are worse in almost every way compared to a modern automatic.

This is a stupid take re the heated seats and wheel. They are one of the most important features in cold climates. Especially the heated seats.

Agree on the touch interface. These are bad.

Did Elizabeth not read that this guy is 6'6"? He will not fit in a Testarossa, or most Ferraris for that matter.

I don’t think the i3 was too early. It was just too ugly. Too many companies fell into the trap of thinking they needed to make their EV look like it came from some crazy irobot future. Just make a regular looking car that happens to be EV and it will sell. That is why Tesla won.

Fake scoops have been on the side of mustangs since 1964.5 and are part of the design language of mustang. They are meant to evoke the intakes on the original rear engine Mustang I concept car.

The hellcat came out in 2015. The 392 scat packs are 485hp stock. and can get above 500 with minor mods. V8 Mustangs and Camaros available with aftermarket superchargers and prochargers are everywhere. There are TONs of them available used.

Uh, the Ads have nothing to do with it. TikToc, Snapchat, & Insta are to blame. street takeovers, burnouts, etc aren’t happening because of the ADs, they are happening for the internet clout. And It just so happens we are in the golden age of horsepower where it is very easy to get 500+ reliable horses on the used car…

You might be right for trucks and SUVs but in 2030 way more than 25% of new compacts, sedans, cuvs, and smaller cars will be electric. Most people don’t need a truck, and most people don’t drive >300mi in a day. There will still be ICE options for those that do need those things, but by 2050 they will be niche.

Here’s a prettier picture. Very easy to maintain weight distrobution. Can share a platform with an ICE drivetrain by designing the battery module & BMS to use the same attachment points and be the same physical size as the ice engine it replaces. Same with the rear subframe assembly, just make it bolt up in the same…

Brave take. Electrification is the future. get used to it.

This assumes they would just replace the ICE engine with an electric motor in the same spot, which is dumb and inefficient. None of the existing driveline is required. No engine, no trans, no driveshaft, no diff. You put the electric motor in the rear in place of the diff. All of the space and weight that used to be…

Easy. Batteries will go where the engine and transmission are located. The electric motor will fill the space vacated by the removal of the rear differential and fuel tank.

Me: Mom, I want a Land Rover Discovery!

The only people who oppose Right-to-Repair are either
1. Corporations directly benefiting from a locked system or
2. Soft-hands ninnys that are jealous of others with more skills than them and want to require everyone to pay a guy at the dealer to strip every bolt in their engine bay to make up for their own shortcomings…

Nascar has been EFI for years.

I do. Go comment in a different thread if you are not interested in NASCAR.

I thought it was a cool change. I hope they decide to go with it. As with anything in NASCAR, you need to draw attention to your car. Anything different gets noticed and gets airtime, and thats what the fans and sponsors like. This is especially true for the All-Star race, which feels a little under-hyped this year.…

Just to pile on. You are dumb as hell.
