I love these safety systems but I think if they engage more than 3 times the car should be rendered inoperable. Or if they engage enough times you don’t get to drive anymore. Save the lives for sure but if you’ve almost rear ended someone at a stop light 3 times and have drifted into oncoming traffic twice, sorry,…

Electronic door handles are a HUGE issue. What happens if you drive into a body of water, and your battery shorts out? Well, in a Model X:

Won’t work for me either - I need to tow my single-wide 75 foot trailer across state lines every few months.

Also, have we all just decided that all EVs need flush door handles that pop out on command?

Sure, with “fuel savings” and “tax credits”, it’s $25k.

I didn’t know it was a tradition, so let’s go with that.

Right there with you.

Counterpoint: PHEVs.

Tell them what? Why have you posted a picture of a Bronco rendering?
Or are you participating in the time honored Jalopnik tradition of posting a picture of a vehicle vaguely in the same class as the vehicle in the article and implying they look exactly alike?

As long as we have to go to a shared google doc or something to view the results, I’m in.

Not so funny when you see that this is the same guy that killed FOUR people in another crash in 2006. This motherfucker needs to be off the streets.

You ever get the feeling that the thing that actually sinks these EV startups is that they are trying way to hard to hit an unrealistic standard? Like, they all want to come out and be the best most luxurious EV with all the best technology that’s barely even finished being invented. Then they get ripped to shreds…

A car shouldn’t define you, thats silly and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t quite get this whole “jalop” thing. Drive the thing that you need or want and nuts to what anyone else says. really like Pontiac W bodies? Great. need a dead reliable commuter? A regular car like a camry is totally fine. Find that a…

I personally find that people not following the rules of driving is a bigger concern than the people speeding. If people were able to actually follow the rules, instead of going 5 under in the left lane while 7+ train behind them bumper to bumper because car #1 don’t want to break the speed limit, despite being in the…

Remember when Montana went to Reasonable and Prudent and had to go back from it because people went “oh you mean a speed that far outstrips my actual driving ability?”

Well, that didn’t take long.

“Crown cut” sounds fancy but it’s just the normal way that boards are sawn from a log. Quarter sawn is actually more expensive because it’s more complicated and creates more waste, but it gives you a different grain pattern which is sometimes preferred. Quarter sawn boards are also more dimensionally stable.

The Si has pretty dam good fuel economy, I had a 2017 Si and managed to get 42-47 mpg avg on the highway.  My Current FK8 Type R can get 36mpg highway even if it’s rated at 32mpg
