if i lived in california i would be riding a motorcycle instead of commuting... sure, you still need a car in case you have more than one passenger or require things like groceries and what not, but for getting to work and back? motorcycle for sure! (especially with the traffic + lane splitting)

No, dude. The competing EVs are called compliance cars because thats exactly what they are. Nissan could have engineered proper battery thermal management in their Leaf, and used the much more universal charger format, but they didnt. Hyundai could sell the Kona in 50 states, but they fucking wont, intentionally. I…

Who cares if it is down on power? Who cares if its not as fast as others?

Probably in the minority here, but I love this car. Would I buy it over a 488, Huracan, or 720S? No (and maybe that’s part of the problem), because I like my supercars a little more raw and angry. But I saw one on the street last weekend and was really impressed by its road presence. It even sounded quite good (may…

“the brand image is shit.”

Haha you’re going to quibble over 30 miles? I’m sure it has nothing to do with the $88,000 price tag.

It’s worse than that because they advocate for a $15 minimum but as soon as they company raises the minimum from $12.50 to $15, the guy who was making $16.50, whose position hasn’t changed at all, says “wait, last week, I was making $4 more than that guy and this week, it’s only $1.50, that’s not fair, where’s my…

Capitalism? Airlines where their basic infrastructure, the airport, where the land is taken by government from the previous land owners, operated by government and paid for by taxpayers? Airlines where they are too cheap to pay for their own security so the government does it at taxpayer expense and uses it for its…

I know a bunch of people are going to come on here and claim they’d totally pay extra for bigger seats or more leg room. Sure. You can if you want, it’s called business class or first class on most airlines. But there’s a reason there’s maybe 20, 30 seats in those classes and 100 - 200 in economy: customers are…

People want cheap.  Yes, I remember as a kid that flying in the ‘80s was awesome.  Costs were also like 2.5-3x of what they are now, adjusted for inflation.

My Porsche allegiance is becoming difficult to justify. The (likely) $30,000 base price differential means I can purchase a Corvette, with enough money leftover for a low mileage, two year old Toyota Tundra double cab.

I like the way the Chevy Express van backup cameras work - it’s all contained within the rearview mirror. No need for another useless screen.

I’m starting to appreciate the Bugatti Chiron’s interior so much more. The designers specifically did not include a flat screen so that it wouldn’t look dated in the future. They still have a small screen on the left, but you don’t need it for anything if you don’t want to. I wish more would follow in this direction. 

What I want to know is what the plan is when in 10 years (probably less) your janky screen/radio thing stops working. what do you do then? In the old days you could get a new DIN sized radio. Now what do you do? Throw out the car and get a new one? Or do you just say eff it and ignore the whole thing and listen to…

I would love if this were a viable solution, and I still believe it might be eventually, but it isn’t yet. We have Android Auto in both our cars and when it works it’s great! If only it worked consistently, because it doesn’t, and that’s not great. In fact, when it glitches, which is all the damn time, it makes…

And, as the Journal points out, when you consider that these systems are generally engineered and designed years before the car hits the market and that people usually keep their cars around longer than their smartphones, automakers are at a natural disadvantage.

Judging from the way he released the clutch, max RPM, dump clutch, idle. I’d say he’s never ridden a bike before in his life, 2, or 4 stoke.

I firmly believe that people complain about Tesla largely because Tesla gives them something to complain about. If they just sat there quietly making cars without Musk spouting off this and that on social media, there wouldn’t be as much negative reporting. 

I really don’t get that. I mean, the Patriots suck, but...why are you rooting against an American company that’s building the first truly innovative cars in 50 years? And why does it make you happy to see them fail?

The irrational hatred of Tesla is one of those things I find deeply puzzling. There are perfectly…

I’m not sure what 600cc bike has 180 lbft... sure, maybe they got 90HP or even more, but they’ll have less than a third of the torque.
