It depends on the button/dial shape... But I’m with you. I usually need a glance too. But i think the glance is shorter with buttons than with touch screens.

Yeah, I can’t imagine any automaker doing something like that today...

There is no reason why that ratio should not be the opposite.  90% EV, 10% ICE.  Of all the dumb shit the government funds, this is something that will save taxpayers a ton on down the road in maintenance and fuel.  

It is insane that we think $3 billion over 20 years for a service as essential the Postal System is somehow a lot of spending.

The numbers are confusing as reported. You talked about what a 10% BEV fleet means for carbon emissions, then talked about cost for a full BEV fleet - can we get clarity? Is the $1bil for 10%? What does the $11.6bil over 20 years mean?

Something with this math doesn’t make sense. A low speed vehicle with a 94kwh battery should be able to cover hundreds of miles, not 70. Especially when considering all the regen braking charging they’ll get.

*calculates*

Is it possible for me to just shoe horn that I think Funko toys are kind of the worst? Or is this a “let people have fun” moment?

Blazing Hot Take:

unfortunately, we are on jalopnik, so because it doesn’t come with a vinyl bench seat, 3-speed manual and a 60hp N/A diesel inline-4, we must all proclaim that it is terrible and stupid and no one will buy it.

Damn it ford, just put the Model T back into production!

Consumer Reports data is the worst available. They use their subscriber base for their results and it’s a predicted score where everything is weighed evenly. So, an infotainment screen problem weighs the same as a transmission going out in reliability rankings. Their surveys are absolute garbage, and the results are…

That’s changing via Hyundai/KIA/Genesis for example, and finally the Chinese are coming with some outstanding examples that can Magnitude 9 the auto industry here and already abroad. Who remembers how dismissive we were the time the first Japanese cars started coming to the USA?

Yep. This was one big reason why I got my Model 3 as opposed to any other EV. And I am one who really does travel a few hundred miles almost every weekend so it was vital for me to have a fast reliable charging network. And it’s funny that during that time one of my Tesla hating coworkers tried me to get a Chevy Bolt…

They have wings and fly through the air

But wait, I was dating a girl that was impressed by it.

That "all season" tires are fine in the winter. No, no they are not. 

I think his tire pressure was off by 0.4 psi.

It will also increase rewards and decrease cooldown times to make the game less grindy in its final days

No, that actually isn’t bad advice. Its called a zipper merge and (if done properly) it is faster than getting in as soon as you see a lane closed sign.

Just out of interest, when was the last time you saw another Avenger on the road? I haven’t seen one in years.
