I was wondering the same thing. Has Tesla dialed in the low traction throttle control properly. Is there a ‘snow’ setting? With only one gear, its hard to start in 2nd, when traction is limited.

Ya, and Nissan dealers want in on that sweet markup action! When the new Tacoma hits the streets with any volume, dealers will have to bring the Frontier back to reality.

You may be right there. It’ll be tough to sell $50K ICE Dakotas against $40K Ram Classics. If the Dakota is a plug in hybrid like the Ramcharger, then its no worry, as that’s a whole different market. I’m looking forward to a Plug in HEV truck.

The tooling was paid off long ago, and at $40K they’re likely still making $10 grand profit on every one.

A tenth of a second difference in every turn adds up to 15.4 seconds over an entire lap (154 turns on the Nordschleife). Driver skill and bravery are what will make the difference on the ‘Ring.

Good eye. Police forces should crowdsource investigations to Jalopniks.

A 20 year old photo, likely.

I think many people will agree the human knee joint is a terrible design, prone to injury under stress. Why replicate it in a robot when you have a clean sheet to design the best machine for automation? Unless the robot’s job is to climb ladders, or take over all human activity, why does it need to be designed that…

I had a clapped Avis rental Mustang Convertible V6 in Las Vegas. Certainly did not give confidence to buy a used one with 50K on it, even if it lived a hard life.

It’s no Smart car, but its definitely tiny compared to most new vehicles, even the new Chevy Trax.

They’re still expensive. You pay a premium for an EV, over an ICE equivalent.

“bright orange ‘Magma’ color is a reference to “Korea’s volcanoes and the emotion, passion and vibrancy of the nation’s culture.””

Early adopters shouldn’t get upset when prices on new technology drop. That’s the price you pay to be able to brag about your ‘revolutionary’ EV.

Yup. If this were about an ICE truck, it would be all roses for the truck.

Yes, let’s not forget those Honda racing motorcycles from the 60's with ridiculous number of gears...

What’s interesting is that stories on this website can just disappear, with no correction notice, or any acknowledgement by the publisher.

I’m guessing that the approach to the crossing will be more heavily fortified, with chicanes added, on both sides, to prevent this from happening in the future.

I believe this is the median in question.

Interesting how the story that was posted immediately after the event ‘disappeared’ from Jalopnik after a few more facts came out.

And Jalopnik has also become a caricature of itself. The latest website updates make the site virtually unusable.
