One small point to add to redneckrob’s reply is weather. If you live somewhere cold, it regularly gets to -10 to -20C where I live, this will make a difference. It’s well known that EVs loose range in cold climates, but charging efficiency will drop too. My Model 3 does quite a bit of thermal management on the battery…

The horror. The horror.

I feel I would be doing the bus loving readers of Jalopnik a disservice if I didn’t bring Cyclops to their attention. Two decks, articulated, 32 wheels, 110 passengers, bowling alley and nuclear powered, naturally.

Also Sulzer. 960mm bore anyone?

Long handled stick shift, yes.

The picture is from a while ago, but I walked past this one at the weekend, always raises a smile.

Come on Bezos, up your game. These are the celebrities we need to see go to space. I’ll give you $5 if you take Sigourney Weaver along too.

You echoed the first thing I thought of. I’m also reminded of the long wheelbase high-top sprinter van I once saw in east London. Some genius had put a set of car alloys on it, and loaded it to the gills. I assumed the wheel I saw some yards away from the van had just come off the hub. But no, the centre of the wheel…

Finland. Land of the notoriously hard driving test, which involves a written test, day and night driving and skid pan testing. At least it did when my wife did it.

Many of my friends called this metallic baby shit. Having never witnessed baby shit, I’ll just have to take their word for it.

Also of possible relevance, even if it isn’t Eddie always has an interesting take…
