If you launch through a windshield and die immediately, you have a point. You would tie up a lot of time having people scrape your body off the pavement, and you will piss your family off, but that’s about it. If you’re a large American, however, you are still a projectile and you can still cause damage.

Not so much for the Volt pack, but the Tesla Model S pack is made of individual modules, of which each module is made up of groups of cells. These can be taken apart and made to fit in your vehicle wherever you can find space. Some batteries, like the ones from the Model 3 and the Volt, are packaged in a way that…

The main problem with these backyard style EV swaps is thermal management. Joe blow can make them work for a couple of runs, but having a system that works continuously in all conditions to keep batteries in their best operating temperature isn’t quite as simple as a coolant loop with a thermostat.

I have a NEXUS card, since I cross the border daily for work. Doesn't make YYZ any less of a cluster.

YYZ is just a cluster in general. 10 years ago when I lived in Toronto it was still liveable, but today it’s lineup culture and there are too many damn people. Nothing exemplifies this more than the general state of Pearson (or the 401, any time of day).

That’s because the ABS implementation is a new and novel concept. I don’t think the Chevy marketing machine has anything to do with this post, more like the author is just really good at noticing certain design traits.

There has been a lot of digital ink written on other sites about how the most popular articles on DS weren’t just about sports, but the takes the authors have had on numerous topics. If I wanted 3 paragraph articles about sports there’s a million other blogs out there. Or go to a fucked up bro-sports website like…

You mean except the articles involving aircraft, the military, boats, and Alanis' pizza take.

I’m sorry to say, but if you came to Jalopnik looking for a lack of overlap between cars and politics, you may want to stick to Autoblog regurgitated press releases, or Motor Trend. There’s no such things as cars without a healthy dose of environmental, government regulatory and geopolitical considerations. Jalopnik…

STICK TO SPORTS CARS

I think the NBA model is a good start. State that your games are for everyone, reduce Chung’s sentence or suspend it, affirm your commitment to protecting players and their thoughts and ideas i.e. free speech.

As a non-offroader, can someone educate me on whether the lack of a manual matters? I would have imagined that having a torque converter would make for smoother transitions over obstacles?

Cool. We’re talking specifically about the context of OP’s point that EVs alone are responsible for cutting employees on assembly lines. If you want to make a point that automation will cut jobs, sure, but that’s a completely separate topic.

Most of those jobs will be at suppliers (and they are already diversifying into EVs), and some will be at engine specific plants. However, I don’t think the main assembly line workers will see as much reduction

Most of that burden will be put on suppliers. And we might see a reduction in engine plants.

This has been done. Tesla had a joint venture with Toyota, but that ended after some EV Toyotas were built. Since then, none of the OEMs did anything similar.

Yes. “Year 1" content up to Forsaken is free (so Forsaken content itself and the annual pass content is not). Strikes, crucible, gambit, Leviathon raids... and all patrol locations (including the ones from Forsaken and Shadowkeep).

CAN is just old, but people use it in an automotive environment because it’s reliable and well established. Once you start moving out of the base intention of CAN, then things like security issues and high speed networking requirements become problematic. To be honest I think it just needs an update, but I wouldn’t…

Torch was talking about putting them into commercial duty vehicles that don’t require high performance (like school buses). Assuming that battery packs are not made like the Tesla 3's (which basically requires hacking away all of the thermal compound to get at), this would be a decent side-gig for commercial…

So basically they aim to reduce wiring using a bus protocol (I’m going to guess CAN, or since it’s Tesla they’re either going to do something stupid like long distance I2C or spend a lot of money developing their own protocol), plus elimination of flexible wiring. One thing Tesla needs to be careful of is that wiring…
