Admit it, we’ve all wanted to do something like this.

The real tragedy is that the Corvette mechanical release is a lot more obvious than Tesla’s integration. For the Corvette it is a lever on the floor of the car that you pull up towards you (like a hand brake), adjacent to the door opening. Although I can fully understand that during a moment of panic, someone might…

The fact that it is required to engineer and implement a mechanical “back up” suggests to me that it is absolutely not cheaper or more cost effective to go with electronic door pulls.

These modern supercar cars are all designed in a wind tunnel and are all converging towards the same general shape. Yes, the details differ, but the the general recipe is now the same. Twin turbo V6, V8, or V12, AWD of some kind, rear-mid-engine, long tail for a high speed, big wings for downforce. It also seems like…

The Cybertruck has thought me that a whole lot of people do not know what stainless steel actually is. 

This is a Cybertruck dammit! Gotta be hardcore apocalyptic! He needs to go straight for the sulfuric acid! 

I think this has more to do with people using their business as a way to write off part of the cost of the truck.

I think Cadillac is hitting their stride with these new models. It makes sense for GM to launch EVs under the Cadillac brand and then spin off cheaper Chevrolet models in the future. I would rather buy this than an $80k+ Porsche Macan EV. 

They keep trying to build AI robots to replace factory workers, when clearly the lower hanging fruit is to use AI to replace the CEOs. Computer models are very good at solving optimization problems. You don’t even need a robot for that, just a server in an office will do.

I actually think the new people in his orbit are going in with more of a “get what I can while the getting is good” mentality. They are there because they think they will personally benefit in some way. Everyone saw what happened last time. Nobody expects to last long if they aren’t going to hop and skip to his tune.

And if that still isn’t enough to insulate him, then that’s because he’s breaking the law and should be held accountable just like anyone else. (Spoiler alert: he won’t be held accountable like everyone else.)

Nope… not believing it. The Camry continues to sell well at a reasonable price point; Lexus, MB, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Cadillac can all seem to find enough justification to have a larger sedan in their line ups. I think the struggle for Mazda is that a new 6 sedan would have to be positioned and priced like a flagship…

Exactly…

They already have that. You’d be surprised how many warehouses and buildings in the Miami area are just hidden supercar showrooms.

The rotary design makes a lot more sense as a generator running at a fixed rpm. That’s what Mazda has been working on for the last few years. 

Over the last couple years Mazda has filed a number of new patent applications around the rotary engine. Several included new rotor and housing designs, some focused on a very small and lightweight rotary generator powering an electric motor, and a few featured a larger rotary design that could also directly power the…

The dimensions of the SP concept were also larger than a Miata. The design team has said in interviews that it was designed to be able to scale down if necessary.

Tesla has been doing that for years now with pricing on their website. There is an option to disable that, but the default setting is that the price includes “fuel savings”. It’s awful and it shouldn’t be allowed, but nobody has stopped them yet. 

Ok… cool but in a “death trap” kind of way? The amount of body movement from the torque under acceleration is actually a bit concerning. Im not the most “offroady” of the bunch, but the suspension geometry looks like the break over angle is pretty compromised for serious off-roading.

Not saying I like it, but I can sort of understand for a car like the ZR-1; at least until the initial demand dies down.
