You know those potato cannons made with PVC pipe and a grill igniter? How you’re supposed to use hair spray to launch the ‘tater?

I would’ve liked to have seen both cars driven from full charge to dead battery.

You pay $185,000 and get $185,000 worth of a car. You pay $99,990 and get $99,990 worth of a car. What a surprise! What a true revelation!!

Porsche has always been conservative with its figures. Tesla just makes bold claims and delivers on half of them. 

Neutral: What would it take for me to buy a Jag?

Brother is a trucker. Fact is, lots of drivers don’t want a salary because they can make way more by the mile. Also most truckers hate the rest rules because they have no problem with driving overtired if it means they get that sweet overtime. Luckily there are regulations in place to curb this for the most part.…

The contents of that window sticker were presented as accurate by Tesla when they sold the car. It’s false advertising if they sold the car alongside that window sticker with the intent to remove the FSD features from the car.

I see Tesla is now doing with their cars what I used to do with my Bumble profiles. See, I’m not technically lying — you see, I used to be a chiseled, rippling mass of 6'4" muscle.

I think the old one looks MUCH better.  Like, it’s not even close.  The new one is just a big rounded blob with Subaru headlights and an oddly-shaped rounded grille.  The 200 was an incredibly handsome car and the Pacifica wore it’s face well. 

This would make sense if crossovers had character, but they don’t. With the exception of a few very expensive, high performance models a crossover and a minivan are going to produce similar amounts of pleasure from driving, which is to say virtually none at all.

The whole “minivans are uncool” thing is ridiculous on it’s face. You ceased being a cool person when you had kids, buying a tarted up wagon with plastic wheel arches isn’t going to fool anyone. Just get the damn minivan, it’s the best tool for the job.

Entitled asshole car company that makes cars for entitled assholes, acts like an entitled asshole. Details at 11

There’s a slight difference, though. Malaria is only prevalent in certain portions of the world. Typically tropical and subtropical poor areas. If I travel to a place where malaria is prevalent, I can take prophylactic medicines to give me a good shot at not contracting it. The likelihood of an outbreak of malaria in,…

IMO it’s too preachy and guilt trippy. It’s pretty much trying to say that if you don’t buy our EV, you’re driving a planet killing gas guzzler. Porsche’s ad was entertaining and light hearted. When I was forced to watch it on Youtube, it was one of the few ads I watched until the end. I was sick of the preachy Audi…

I watched this ad with my folks. As a marketing person, myself, I understood where they were trying to go with the ad, even though they never really made it there. But they were both very confused.

IDK, Wal-mart had a pretty IP loaded commercial, right down to R2D2 and C3PO.

1st Gear: I wonder how much Ghosn’s departure is contributing to this. I don’t think Ghosn would have let something like this slide.

You can stack prismatic batteries together better, so more energy/volume. Prismatic just means square in this case. Since cars use hundreds of cells, you end up with a bunch of little cylinders in a box right now. If it was a bunch of little squares you wouldn’t have all the air in between the cylinders. Hexagonal…

Depends. You wouldn’t have it generating power while cruising (it adds drag and the RVs powertrain just has to work harder.
