Don’t look now, people: Ford may have built a better Toyota, and by Toyota, I mean the kind of trucks that made Toyota famous.

I haven’t seen any good data suggesting that. Even if it’s true, which is a long shot, it’s nothing new that when people think their side loses a close race the result must be invalid. Look at the 2016 election. Democrats spent years peddling the russian collusion narrative that has been completely debunked and …

Who TF is towing anything with a car?

I think you would benefit from turning off your cable news station of choice, perhaps logging off of social media, and speaking with some republicans. Your opinions of people right of center are skewed to the exceptionally small percentage of people that the left-wing media nuts talk about all day.
Same goes for many…

Who said that this was just for a car? GM clearly is getting in on the electric truck game, so that 600 miles of range may be 300 (yes I’m just guessing here) for cold weather towing. Also, who says that the 600 mile range battery packs couldn’t be sold to eventual electric semi-truck manufacturers, where range is a…

“Which makes me wonder who 600 miles of range is really for.”

2a. Bye, expensive car.

I’ve passed GT3's in my BRZ on the track during HPDE’s, doesn’t make my car faster or better. HPDE’s don’t normally host professional level drivers, and there’s usually as much difference in skill levels as car performance levels.

Just make sure you don’t cross the streams.

Followed by: “Out standing at the bus stop, waiting for a ride home.”

I think the biggest reason for the more boring racing is the shear size of the current cars. They’ve gotten truly huge and are currently longer than a Suburban.

The numbers came from the video I linked, the math I did on a calculator.

Oh, and you’re right, there are no ill effects at all to getting crude oil out of the ground.

Most people don’t need more range than that for their daily commuting needs, but many people (especially in cities) also don’t have access to charging at home or at work, and charging daily vs. weekly makes this a non-contender for many.

Volvo going public means they will have to answer to shareholders, who typically have short term gains, and not the company’s best interest, in mind. I hope they know what they are doing.

4th Gear: That lawsuit should have been thrown out. “Cruise control” has been a common automotive term for more than 50 years and still describes what these systems do.

To be fair, and remember I think Elon Musk is a chud, Tesla is beating its expectations, is still getting paid by its competitors for the clean-air credits they need to sell their most profitable products, and has no expensive shift away from its current powertrain squatting on its future earnings like a constipated…

Wait so now having children is bad for the environment?

Why do you always have to be such a damn bummer, Greta?

These rationalizations, trying to justify comically large wheels because, basically, they look cool, are ridiculous in the face of the data: a vehicle with 21" wheels suffers a whopping 10% range penalty over one with 19" wheels. 

That’s the perfect example of an opinion versus a fact. Your opinion is that the argument of having kids is a massive carbon generator would not be valid at all...on the other hand a bunch of studies generated by very bright people say otherwise. I’d suggest brushing up on the matter. The possibility of your kid…
