Apple products are considered luxury items in Brazil, much more than on the US. So the prices here, after exchange conversions and up to 105% taxes in some states, still are bumped up for them to be “premium” and “exclusive”. As per the last iPhones that landed here, I’m betting this new X thingy will cost between…
Humans being humans, I would bet someone would hack those to show gentlemen sausages in less than a month.
VW is probably saying this is “the car for the future”, “solution for mobility”, “thought for big cities”, but I can’t grasp the reasoning of a fat crossover which seats only four and probably will have a proprietary charger connector like every other electric car.
What about a catalytic exhaust gas recirculation system? It’s been studied since the 80s, you pass the exhaust gas through a catalytic converter, generate some hydrogen, methane and oxygen and reinject this on the admission, to work with a leaner fuel mixture.

Will it come with Dolby® Atmos© 7.1 stereo for maximum wololoing?
Spintires is my gateway drug. Having a bad day? Nothing is better than hauling logs through a Siberian muddy hellhole.
I can’t help but notice that everytime a terrorist slams a car against pedestrians the car is always a self-driving vehicle. The headlines are always “truck drives into pedestrians”, “van runs over people”, “car rams pedestrians”, like the vehicles commited the terrorist acts themselves.

It wasn’t me, but my dad tells me a story about a guy he knew that, just after getting married, went with his fiancée-now-wife for their honeymoon on their DKW Belcar (the Brazilian name of the DKW 9-3). Suddenly, on the road, in the middle of nothing the timing belt snapped.
