Harley is doubling down on aging bikers that are rapidly getting past the ‘I have already bought my last motorcycle’ age. That’s ..um .. a business move.

A electric motorcycle charged by the average mix of grid power emits less co2 than if you ran the same distance, not including the extra calories you would need.

A Tacoma that can drive 50-80km on electric power alone? That would cover 85% of my driving. That means reducing fuel consumption by 85%

Hydrogen is a good idea for ships, trains and eventually aircraft. Professionally maintained and operated vehicles with leak detection and strict policies on leak repair.

If you are stealing the car, you can just slice open the plastic bumper with a utility  knife to get access to the wiring.

A ‘zero trust’ network is a great excuse for a auto maker to encrypt every single device in your car and make a car that simply can not be repaired without the dealer only scan tool. It would also render any aftermarket part useless. So anything CAN controlled would be dealer only.

GA Checkpoint in Coquitlam BC would only sell me a Tenere 700 with $3500 in accessories I didn’t want even if I offered to pre-order the next bike in half a year. (I’m a fabricator and am doing something custom). They cried that ‘they couldn’t make any money selling the bike so they have to sell it with all that…

Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul had the best car selection to fit the character of any tv show or movie. Period.

If they are smart, the ‘4wd’ system will actually be a e-motor where the front diff is. Scrap the conventional 4wd running gear, keep the weight down. Rely on a second electric motor coupled to the transmission for powering the rear wheels for torque similar to 4 low. Bonus points if it has 80km of plug in electric…

MAKE A ELECTRIC MID SIZED TRADES VAN, FORD.

Ever tinker with alcohol sensors? They are short lived devices and die within a year or two. This is absolutely a shitty tech that has no business being in regular consumer cars. Unless you have a previous DUI, there is NO reason to put a sensor in every car. This is just pointless regulation that DRIVES UP THE COST…

Ex mechanic here. Welcome to buying ‘early cars’. Anyone foolish enough to buy a first year car from an experienced makers knows this. Take a brand new car company making new tech and it will take 2-3 years to work the teething issues out.

Tesla Model S

That Turbo 4 with a 300+HP electric motor and a 50+kWh battery would be all you need for a monster that could tow a massive trailer across a country nice and efficiently. Make sure it can run as a plug in hybrid, run the motor like a chevy volt where most of the time it is just a steady state generator, but it can…

Being able to throw that scooter to the ground and dive for cover in seconds actually sounds incredibly useful in the battlefield. Quiet is also super important.

I don’t need engine sounds but I do need innovation. Bring back the looney toons that was Group B rally cars, Pikes Peak hill climb and 1970's Formula 1. Let car makers go nuts with design again.

I’m looking at replacing a full size trades vehicle in Canada. Here’s some numbers for you.

Look at those flat tops to those boxes. Don’t accidentally leave a flower pot full of thermite on top, and certainly don’t accidentally add a magnesium strip to light it off. That would pour molten metal down into the camera housing and destroy the whole thing.

If you want the most survivable seats in the plane, you want to be in the area over the wings. That has the most structure and no matter which way the plane lands you have the most crush structure between you and the bit that stops very fast.

Lifted 4x4 van owner here. A jeep owner once asked me why I didn’t just build a jeep. I asked him if he could fit a queen sized bed in the back of his jeep.
