On one hand blatantly insulting someone over an Internet topic just makes anyone less likely to read your point. On the other hand, I read it and yes, it is still wrong.

You’re still thinking I advocate fossil fuels or ICEs in cars. There is no part of my comment that says I want to keep cars with fossil fuels. Find it…

If the market keeps pushing car prices into a totally unaffordable bracket for the average person, I’d think so. And so far, a market dominated by crossovers and buyers only demanding crossovers is turning that into a reality.

Some manufacturers might still be making small, cheap cars, but nobody is buying them. You…

I reread your comment a couple times and I’m trying to figure out, what stance do you think I’m taking? Because you’re responding to a completely different comment than the one I posted.

Wasn’t worth arguing IMO. Tons of articles say it like the one you mentioned, but if they believe it’s just a couple pounds of lithium, then IDK what to tell you to change your mind.

Everything else, though....

That last point is the reason I’m so interested in this topic. I’d love to enjoy riding my Tuono without worrying about so much traffic and the increased odds of getting bucked off by a distracted driver in an anonymous white crossover. I love riding, and I am a huge advocate for rider safety, and this is why I want…

Honestly, all that could work. We already see the bikeshare happening with Metrobike in LA, and as terrible as they are the Bird/Wheelz scooters are pretty handy. I just hope that it’ll catch on to a larger scale, since I can’t imagine people coming from the Inland Empire or Orange County where cars are basically king…

That’s exactly the problem with car-centric thinking.

1. Won’t argue, have it.
2. I understand that $46k is the average price, but have you ever really thought about how much a car actually costs for the average person? And not household income, but by individual. Median income is posted at the mid $30k mark, so the average car price is already above what a person makes…

I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be some loophole for them. Just like how all of a sudden the Chevy Trax is considered a “light truck” because its approach angle is the right degree to keep swerving past the regulations that are supposed to govern it.

Go to hell but also have a star while you’re at it.

This, but also, maybe we get more people out of cars and start building and redeveloping cities with walkability and public transit first.

Every person that doesn’t need a car is a person you don’t really have to mine extra lithium for.

I appreciate that this is one step towards zero emissions and ultimately saving us from a 2-5 degree warming hell, but this is flawed for so many reasons. Let’s talk about a few of them:

1. This is an absolutely terrible waste of resources. To power all these cars requires tons of batteries, therefore tons of lithium,…

I liked the old CTR despite gaudy and over the top, but I like this one more for being modest. Reminds me of those French hot hatches that were fast for no reason, but the styling wasn’t all over the place either.

Dude IDK if you read the article but the kid died in the crash.

For someone like me who *needs* a car to get around but doesn’t wanna get stuck with it, sure. I don’t drive more than a few thousand miles a year because I either walk or bike everywhere but on those occasions that I need a car, it would make sense to have something anyway (especially in California where you can only…

Grand or not, one thing’s for sure. The Wagoneer is just another SUV the world clearly doesn’t need right now.

I’m sorry, who asked you to use actual logic and reasoning here?

Jokes aside I agree with this, but I’m taking the fact that you’re the only comment on here that addresses this angle as a testament to how willing we are to punish others rather than accommodate them. It’s a shame that more people can’t see it this way.

His team should countersue for lost points.

The problem with this stupid slideshow format is if you’re listening to a song and let it play while still reading through everything else, you have to sift through a bunch of slides when you decide you want to play another song.

Stop with this. Seriously.

I argue this is absolutely not the issue. The cost of car ownership in general is expensive, and even if you take a car like a Toyota Corolla (which is not just an extremely reliable car, but also notably low cost to maintain) you’d still be paying thousands per year just to keep it on the road on gas, insurance,…
