Oh look, another EV startup!

Annoy HOA Karens with this one simple trick!

I seriously doubt many people are buying base model Defenders, so the real question here is would you rather have a $62k Rubicon 4-door with basically every single option you can get (and the V6 mild hybrid, in trying to match the Defender), or a $62k Defender 90 (2-door) with the V6 hybrid, and a decent set of…

Sure you can. A military humvee is solidly built, but hardly luxurious. That didn’t stop AM General and GM from trying to market it that way as the H1 Alpha.

A base 200 series is absolutely an incredibly solid vehicle, but you can still get them in Australia with manual windows. Nobody would describe a safari-spec…

So what’s the call to action here? Boycott Toyota? Are we supposed to start tweeting #canceltoyota?

Good question. I remember I tried to buy a base model Prius back in the day, and ever dealer told me they never order those.

In hindsight, I dodged a bullet on that one. 

It’s meant as a reward for loyalty, including loyalty to co-workers. It’s a benefit to the people who design and build the cars.

I mean, you could say the same thing about the Land Cruiser / LX considering how basic Land Cruisers are outside the US.

That’s fair. I do like that feature on my Leaf, though I don’t use it all the time. 

Not really Korean cars. Korean cars don’t really offer any advantages over Japanese cars in Japan, and the Japanese and Koreans have historical and present “tensions”, to put it politically correctly.

Actually, Jeep is quite popular in Japan. I saw lots of RHD Wranglers on the streets of Tokyo, and I’ve found XJs and TJs on family farms out in the country.
You find plenty of American cars around Japan, but yeah, they certainly aren’t as common as their own cars. In my experience with Japanese factories, parking…

I don’t get all the ID.4 ho-hum reviews. I test drove one and really impressed at what you get for the money. Great features, everything felt well-made, and it was comfortable to drive. It has a tremendously comfortable rear seat for a 6'1" adult (I could easily sit behind myself with at least 4" of knee room).

Having actually driven an ID4, it’s really not that big of a deal. They aren’t even the first ones to have a drive selector like this. The BMW i3 had the same kind of design.

That seat pulled out to become a bench, but the passenger side could be pushed into the driver’s side to have just a single seat with extra cargo room. Just like how these day beds can pull out to a full bed:

The other con of the aisle is that anyone passing by has a 50% chance of rubbing their genitals in your face, and there’s a 100% chance a flight attendant will bash their drink cart into you.

That said, I ALWAYS take the aisle seat as asking your row mates to get up so you can get out and go pee is the adult…

And I’m saying that the US government has historically taken upwards of 30 years to formally step in. Who knows what the landscape of vehicles will look like 30 years from now?

If it was that easy, why don’t we have a universal charging standard in the US?

This is all interesting to see from an American perspective, especially one based out of New York City. Around the turn of the century, NYC was home to the largest electric car company in the world, the Electric Vehicle Company, and it operated using battery-swapping stations right in the middle of Manhattan. The…

Nice to see Aubrey Plaza making her directorial debut! 

I recommend following SuperfastMatt on YouTube regarding shoehorning Tesla drivetrains into other vehicles:
