No pickup is really made for the plumber, fence guy, or any other tradesman. The plumber uses avan, probably a Transit, and folks in the other trades are probably about 1% of the pickup market.

The even numbers (ignoring the zero at the end) are the coupes, like at BMW. You have to load the bed through the long door hinged in front of the driver’s seat.

Duh.  You knew how much the CyberTruck weighs, right?  So, why are you acting like this is some kind of surprise?

Great.  Now I have to seach for the translated lyyrics.

I mean, wasn’t it pretty obvious that the dark winters are the real reason for darkness in the fiction?

The reason the new times were worse was that they didn’t use launch control. The reason they used the old numbers was that they knew the new numbers were implausible when so many drivers who drove the car correctly had so much better times. It might be nice if they actually tried testing the new car using all of its …

I largely agree about Musk, but why would you compare time trials of two vehicles using launch control to maximize its performance and not use it on the other. Musk always has a chip on his shoulder and constantly imagines conspiracies against Tesla, but the testing to hear did was total BS. Why not run one with…

I don’t think many people were were surprised that the Taycan beat the Model S in the 1/4 mile, handles better, or has a nicer interior. What is a little surprising is that Top Gear thought it was a good idea to test the car that was likely to be faster on the 1/4 mile using it’s launch control and the other car…

This is a big part of why I wanted the US to wage wat on Pakistan after 9/11. Making nukes a get-out-of-war-free card has really not helped non-proliferation.

“BEVs don’t solve any engineering issue, and all the real engineering research that’s been done on them shows they’re no better for the environment and actually worse over the average life cycle.”

Yeah, I’d take an E63 wagon over a Panamera every single time, but I’m not going to spend that much on a car any time soon.

Finally a comment of yours I can upvote. You make good points in a lot of comments, but then sprinkle them with such a huge dose of Tesla-hating hyperbole that your point gets lost in the stink.

Tesla doesn’t design it’s own motors? Then what does Tesla’s principal motor designer, Konstantinos Laskaris, do for a living? Why does Tesla have electric motor patents?

Do you know any EV owners with charging issues?  I have none.  I’m guessing most Taycan buyers also have garages with electrical service.

You’re really making me wish there was a way to mute you here.

Can you stop beating that dead horse, please?

The Porsche has a much nicer interior and probably is sportier and better on the track, but I’m amazed that Porsche came up with something that is heavier and slightly less quick than the Tesla Model S, which really started as a family sedan with good handling that has gradually emphasized acceleration more and more,…

Seriously.  Would that have been so hard?

I admire your dedication to the goal of annoying your wife. My poor wife is used to me ranting about strange things like this.

The use of CRISPR CAS-9 to insert a gene drive in an organism’s DNA allows something that, as far as I know, we couldn’t do previously: Make a gene that lowers survival rates spread through a population by making all descendents of an organism with one copy of that gene pass on a copy to all of their offapring. As…
