It’s the gig economy....

I can see Hamilton joining Ferrari as development driver, or team strategist. But as a racer? Who would be #1 ?

WTF? I was hoping for something truly different, and in-between the 50 & 90. A lowered, more sporty mid-size vehicle. You know, more wagony.

50 psi!!!! normal tire pressure??? Is that sidewall max? Airing down to 30?
Most vehicles start at 30-36ish and air down from there. No wonder it doesn’t get traction. And those tires are barely off-road capable. Give it a set of KO2's and then test it (and watch range plummet).

True, but I’m on Jalopnik, because its a car site with journalists, who aggregate car news from around the world, then (should) add context, facts, further background information and related anecdotes to create value for readers.

Soooo..... just Florida? What about Georgia EVs? Or California? Something about the flat-land sunshine state? I guess you’re saving those states for follow up stories.

I’m not believing that an aluminum Porsche fender is only $500, even unpainted. That must be off by a factor of 10.

On a similar topic, has anyone correlated a vehicle with a city/state name, with actual sales in that city/state?

Pontiac LeMans, any year for the WIN!

I love them all (except the Taurus). Had a B5 Passat Wagon, and a Mazda 6 Wagon with manual.

Nice bike handle BTW.

So I’m watching the video and hear the glorious sounding V8. That is what motorsport is about.

GM and their Hummer ‘Crab Walk’ mode are crying in their beer now.

With a handle like darthspartan you should have known the tires are made of Carbonite. ;)

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.
