It’s kind of amazing how many times Orlove writes something on which I agree, in principle, but recoil at the delivery, forum, and relevance. “There is no god”. Ok, I am an atheist... but what the eff? The self-righteous arrogance in this shock-journalism is ridiculous.

You’re equating Native Americans to animals. You’re part of the problem. 

Because Pontiac was ditched before we started actually having useful discussions about appropriating the names of oppressed minority groups to sell products?

They aren’t as bad about the appliance thing as they used to be. They hated any and all fun cars twenty or so years ago. Since then they try to rate things for what they are designed for. They absolutely love most of the sports cars they test, even if they can’t recommend some of them because of reliability, and they…

Quentin Qualitycontrol has been reported missing and local authorities have been alerted.

Emails were also sent by Rebecca Research, Tesla’s head of R&D; Mary Metallurgist, Tesla’s head of material science; and Logan Logistics, Tesla’s head of supply chain management. (However, there was no comment from the CEO, Elon Weedtechbro.)

I could take or leave the 1/2" lift on my alltrack vs sportwagon, but I absolutely love driving an awd wagon. It has about as much space as a rav4 but is a lot better to drive and a lot more useful. With snow tires it is great in the winter. If I could choose a style vehicle to electrify it would absolutely be a wagon.

How are the seats?? Have they been improved from previous years?

I enjoy debating. Don’t ever feel like because we disagreed about one thing, we can’t agree about something else. I still respect you, even when we’re on opposite sides of a debate!

I really wonder what all the fuss is about seeing that drag race where the tuned one beats the other by half a car length.

Does the extra load on all engine parts justify that seemingly minor increase of power? Can you actually make good use of that power for your average cruising on a normal day?

Wouldn’t it be better…

Both new Bolts have completely new seats.  GM was well aware of the complaints.   They are one reason we bought a Volt three years ago instead of the Bolt EV.

The narrow thin-back seats are a bust. Apparently Chevy has been tweaking them a teeny bit every year — a 2020 has noticeably more padding than a 2017, f’rinstance — but they’re ditching them altogether for these 2022 models, thank goodness.

EQC to anyone who lives in the Seattle area:

Listen to this man, for he speaks with wisdom. Dump the defender, and get a used, boring old 2000s Honda. The v6 actually is decent, and they handle well for a fwd. And I can’t kill the damn thing.  No turbos or fancy to go wrong.  When dealing with old cars, you want high volume models to ensure parts availability. …

The entire premise is ridiculous. Priest dude wants a car that has as much character as an El Camino, wants it to be fuel efficient/reliable, and wants it to cost <$5000. That’s impossible.

What Priest should do is just keep the El Camino, which is already his daily, and spend $2k or $3k turning it into a more reliable…

You’re right, I guess I’ll stop doing my job because you don’t like it or whatever.

I think if it were me I would have proposed going with a commercial size module, maybe something like an REC TwinPeak 400W. The cost would be higher but 8 of them would have fit perfect in landscape and he could have a few hundred watts more. 

This is a pretty standard rooftop install. I looked at Brad’s site for him months ago and ballparked 6 SunPower modules, so Great Basin cramming 9 Q-cells up there is nice work, even if it's not perfect looking. 

It’s gone. I don’t want to get anyone fired. 

Yeah, the new gen is way better than the previous gen, those bloated a bit too much.
