Yes. Like others have pointed out, the rendering just looks like a glorified current VW passenger transporter whatever they call it. Anyway, Euro VW minivans are practical straight ahead boxes with a very minimum of style. That concept showed they could think differently about it. There are a lot of possibilities.

Driving a Tesla beyond local commuting or a hundred mile trip to Grandma's where there is a charger in her garage is simply not a tenable proposition. Shit happens. Only a zealot wants to plan their trip according to where the superchargers are. And if you look at the big picture, if everyone on the highway was…

Or more precisely, El Ay. As in L A.

People living in Los Angeles call it El Lay. People living in San Francisco do not call it San Fran or Frisco. These are terms used by others to make themselves sound cool, but do exactly the opposite.

Once had a '55 Buick Super convertible. Battery died. Got a free one from a friend, whose Ford was totaled and he kept the new battery. The terminals were in the wrong place and one cable didn't reach. So just to get it going I clamped a Vice-Grip on the terminal and tightened the cable on the other end of the…

For the compact Nissan electric car.

I was just about to post a similar comment. Not that I'd know anything about that.

I never even heard of a manual transmission crapping out. CVTs going bad is not that unusual in my experience, but they usually make lots of noise for a while or at least clicking for a long time first.

And their stroller and shit now, and their bikes and your's too later.

I find FWD (all season tires, no traction control) and a bag of kitty litter are all I need.

Stupid witless commercials designed to alienate half the population. Particularly the ones with money for a new car. They need a new ad agency, and new executives in the promotion department. Calling Don Draper.

Sadly, the next LS has one of those wiggly slots for the gear lever.

I'm pretty sure I see a better solution there.

Container ships use very little energy for each pound shipped. This plus mainly the 1/1000 per cent of labor in loading a unloading, plus no stealing etc. is what makes global trade possible on the scale it is today.

Except for a small number of recent plug in Priuses, they do not use any grid electricity to run. And in most or at least many areas you can buy all renewable or specifically wind powered electricity.

Yes it is. Real thing:

Cool video right up the Chevy Bel Air reference at the end. No, it was not. The Chevy Bel Air (when it was the top model) was no more reliable or well assembled or quiet than any other American car of the time. It was luxurious for the low price three, but not high end luxurious like the LS 400.

Once again, the 1964 revision as pictured kind of ruined the original with flat windows with very reduced tumblehome and longer rear doors with the longer square edged window. Not to mention turn signals cut into the front fenders and more mainstream grille/bumper.

It's $8839, except we can't have it here.

Being American I've never been in one of those. I didn't know about them until I saw one in England. Hands down awesome. The last successor to the original DS.
