Follow the money. More polluting, less efficient cars, means more oil, and I bet there’s some deal afoot between Putin and his orange-skinned cock-holster to increase the imports of Russian crude to the U.S.

Monza was weird, yes. But F1 is F1 for all it’s quirks, faults and foibles. Remember the last time they altered the qualifying format? The 2016 elimination qualifying fiasco was a perfect example of trying to fix something that was not broken to begin with.

There’s a couples trick you should know (if you don’t know it already).

May not be a P100D. May be the new Tesla Pedo.

“He is either bluffing, confused, or is incapable of understanding”

Why can’t they make the braking more pre-emptive and less like a day-1 driver? If you’ve ever ridden in one of these hell-machines, the constant and violent braking is enough to induce nausea.

The Audi ones are too low - you have to look a long way down relative to your normal line of sight to see them. The lack of parallax makes it obvious that you’re looking at a screen, and the fraction of a second of time it takes to process that difference is too much. I found the e-Tron’s camera mirrors utterly…

“The outfit features a thigh-high slit that is sometimes considered risqué.”

I can see all the benefits of a camera based system but - for example - the only vehicle that appears to have done the location of the inside screens right is the Honda-E. The Audi E-tron is appalling because the “mirrors” are just too far away from your normal line of sight. The Honda-E at least has them close to…

Video mirrors are missing (because of their nature) parallax - meaning you can’t move your head to see a different field of view. That above all else is the most irritating (dangerous?) thing about them.

They only need one driver - Sabine Schmitz

Something will be announced in November and a dummy unit with no motor will be “driven” on to stage using elastic bands, willpower and magic smoke. Elon will step out and show that there are other units available for viewing, all with their doors locked shut and/or dark/mirrored windows. Then there will follow a slow,…

“weight-to-vehicle length ratios for legal compliance.”

That’s not hard to do. If you can make a plastic clip that holds something in place, you’re already lightyears ahead of the shite Tesla interiors.

The driver did not read Tesla’s manual, like almost every other person who owns any car anywhere ever. He learned of Autopilot’s features and limitations from a Tesla salesman.

An “Influencer” is not a thing. It’s someone who is unemployed, with an inflated sense of self-worth, trying to get stuff for free. Deal with these people appropriately by dropping their email in the trash.

“It doesn’t take long to notice the sounds surrounding me”

I don’t believe this for a second. They more or less said the same thing in 2010 after the 268 mph Veyron run, and look how that worked out. As soon as someone goes faster than 305, Bugatti will be back.

The stop-motion welding is really fun to see.

1st gear : “While manufacturers aren’t exactly at the point of full autonomy yet”
