I’m actually in the market for a unique auto-themed golf cart... At first I was like, this will not functional as a golf cart... But then I was like, oh yeah, many of these golf community folks just use them to get to the country club pool or their neighbors bbq cook out. I guess it would be cool for that.

*Sigh* Such a creative way of saying that that the death rate could have declined faster if speeds were slower, that’s a more honest way of putting it.

Ah yes, I remember the first time I got an up close look at a twin turbo 300ZX... At the time, just about the fastest thing this side of an exotic; and faster than many exotics. I was enthralled... for about 15 seconds.

So the win goes to the Jeep if you’re not a long distance overlander?Thanks for the info!

For fucks sake yes. Just stop this shit. Know your audience.

Dude! I am totally trading in my penis pump for this one.

True, but I think we need to be much more pedantic about “what is a sports car”. Not a GT, a pony car, or muscle car. Even though these are great cars. The BRZ, Miata and 370z, Cayman/Boxter, 911, Corvette meet my sports car criteria, whereas Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, CTS-V, Model S do not. Looking at it this way,…

“It’s not clear why the repairs were never made despite the notices.”

Let’s not spend time trying to figure out why this accident happened and place blame. It’s irrelevant to the story. There are many thousands of accidents like this every day and yes, I said accidents, meaning they weren’t on purpose nor the result of significant negligence.

It’s a bit early imho... Let’s see how this thing actually plays out.

That depends on how many orders are placed... they cannot satisfy infinite demand, or even 1 million orders, in a reasonable amount of time. I know that is unlikely, but price theory tells us when you put a pricing ceiling on something, you end up with a shortage.

Uh, no, because supply and demand affects price. That’s a real thing.

“Gas is so cheap that dealers are actually having to work to sell trucks to oil barons.”

Are you being dense or do you not realize Texas has the most wind power generation in the US?

“Part of the appeal of an electric car that’s supposed to be for the masses will, of course, be in the quelling of range anxiety.”

Thanks for the Model 3 design analysis!!! Now we know if our eyes are lying to us or not.

Uh no. A truck with 24s should not be any kind of Texas poster child.

sorry, that was 1 billion kilometers, not miles.

Hey, well at least now we have some perspective even though the better stat is deaths per 100 million miles driven, since in the US we drive more. What does deaths per capita mean if everyone drives only 100 miles/yr (I know this is ludicrously low, but it shows this method reflects more than just driver competence).

From the linked article... “The most important thing from my perspective is that we do move down this path. Self-driving cars are the future. There’s no question that is where we should go.”
