High Beam Laws:

1st Gear: It would have been weird as all hell if something crazy Trump tried to do actually worked, even if it was just one vehicle. The general consensus is that even ***IF*** the tariffs actually do what they are supposed to, it would take awhile for production came back stateside. FCA pivoting this fast would…

Damn, I need to see the coverage for this.  Named my son after him.

You don’t read much, do you? Using publicly available information, the NYT found and reported ~10 days ago that Trump had been committing tax fraud for decades. It revealed that he set up the schemes with his father, who it turns out — quantitatively — was the source of his fortune, not remotely “self made.”

In my experience, Germans aren’t that great at driving. Seems they’ve bought into their own brand too much. I had a much safer and more comfortable time in France, Northern Italy, and even Spain. 

Everyone I know who owns an EV also owns at least one other ICE vehicle. Ironically, it is usually some huge SUV, but I digress.

Do you really think Audi, GM, Mercedes, and others will take 10 years to eat Tesla’s lunch?

Will Ford’s new 7.0L truck motor compete against a Tesla (or GM or FCA) EV cab and chassis? I bet that keeps someone up at night in Dearborn.

You were saying?

It’s almost as if the staff at gawker have never experienced a real job.

Renewing your vows should reserved for last ditch efforts to save your marriage, not pledging everlasting fealty to your employer. It’s just plain weird.

I ride an electric motorcycle with a 70 mile practical range. It fills my transportation needs 355 days a year. If I need to go long distance I can borrow or rent, if I need a truck I can borrow or rent. I charge at home and have a full 70 miles every morning.

Who gives a heck what the gold standard for hugely redundant, wildly inefficient technology is?

Are you unhinged, my friend? We all plug our heckin phones in at night.

You and quite a few other people who don’t know what they’re talking about. You’re thinking about EVs completely backward.

How many times have you done such a trip? I wouldn’t be surprised if you said zero. But even if you’ve done it once or twice, I highly doubt you only stopped to just fill up your car and that was it. I’m sure you if you had done this before you would have stopped at a hotel, or stopped for lunch, or dinner, or…

I drive a Model 3 and a Model S, neither of which have autopilot software but the Model 3 has the hardware for it. Tesla enabled the software on my Model 3 for a two week trial period, so I got a bit of experience with it. It adds a follow-the-lines system to adaptive cruise control and has little or no awareness…

Announcing a product you have no intentions selling is an outright lie

I didn’t think rotary engines were as fuel efficient as piston engines. Seems counterproductive to use a rotary as a range extender. Want to know what else is simple? Manual Transmissions. Carburetors. Nokia 3310. Horse-drawn buggies. Walking.
