a 15 minute at-home charge is a fantasy. Guaranteed not to happen. Using a $20k high voltage charging system, perhaps. But it would seriously degrade battery lifespan. Tesla has done the math on this a million times, sorry Porsche. You must be breathing in some exhaust from your parent companies clean diesels.

Russia won’t be able to supersize a happy meal, let alone build a lunar base, if the price of oil stays low.

Agree. I have a S85, but the best bang for the buck is a low-spec, solid roof 70. I’d even consider standard suspension as long as you tick the 19 inch wheels.

crazy crank 101: it’s all a government conspiracy and only I see it.

Your tinfoil hat must have slipped off a bit.

my 2006 E46 M3 with the competition pkg...I miss that car so bad. I also miss my E60 545i sport pkg, a Bangle-era design that I happen to think has aged very well, and it was just amazing to drive. It actually felt faster than the M3.

The attenuated rear fender virtually guarantees you a stripe of dirty water up your back whenever ridden on a wet surface. Pretty significant design failure there.

Try watching the video before you get indignant. Normally aspirated. AKA non-turbocharged.

I’ve been pretty happy with models S crammed full of laptop batteries.

Cool vaporware battery story.

Very interesting article. I’ve been very impressed by autopilot, I’ve been using it since release and it’s the real deal.

Since these “islands” are not actual islands and not a single sovereign nation of any repute recognizes them as Chinese territory, they have no territorial claim on any waters at any distance.

The answer is clearly Camry. The vanilla ice cream of the automotive world.

Thanks for the political op-ed, jalopnik. Now I’m off to politico to get my car reviews.

You’re missing the bigger issue- in all likelihood these engines aren’t capable of reliably operating in cheat mode indefinitely without, for example, fouling it’s catalytic converter or causing other emissions or mechanical problems. Otherwise VW would never have risked cheat mode in the first place. It was done to…

Allow me to point out the obvious—At 5-10 hrs/vehicle, VW USA does not have the service center capacity to retrofit all affected cars in a year, unless they plan on doing nothing else but this recall. They have a small number of dealerships, especially when you venture from the coasts. VW owners, prepare for…

You’ve earned your Rubles this week, comrade.

The latest sky-is-falling F-35 article here...I’m starting to think an F-35 touched you in the hot tub as a child or something.

That’s a drop in the bucket compared to what the EU member nations have shoveled into subsidizing and pushing diesel for the last 3 decades, the result of which you can see in any sizable European city most days of the year—the stench of diesel fumes and a haze of particulates. I suppose you reap what you sow as Pres…

The Fed’s crush cars every day that don’t meet CARB or DOT requirements. CRUSH. In a crusher. They aren’t going to just say, oh well, carry on, to half a million non compliant cars. I suspect these engines cannot be made CARB compliant and VW will have to buy them back and sell them in other markets.
