Because instead of collecting $3 per ride, Uber shells out an extra $x per ride to the driver depending on the time, location, surge pricing, etc. This is why they are losing billions every year. The drivers are already getting screwed under the Uber model, so the only way to turn an actual profit, rather than burn VC…

The current grid has been sized to ensure it meets peak demand. Most EVs are capable of being set to charge only during non-peak hours (like overnight), so unless everyone is fast-charging during a hot summer afternoon, the grid doesn't require any upgrades outside of normal improvements just based on population…

Yes, while bike weight has driven the change, Al bike frames are much harsher to ride on than good ‘ol CroMo steel. For mountain bikes, it is not as much of an issue with the softer tires and suspension, but it is terrible for road bikes. Manufacturers have tried to mitigate this somewhat with Carbon forks, but it is…

A bottle of Goldschläger contains about 13 mg (0.00042 tr. oz) of gold foil. I would only need to drink about 1,230 bottles to replace the F1 gold foil myself.

We have that system here, so I definitely had to remember my Licence Plate number for awhile, but now I just use an App instead.

There are way too many options beyond the Miata to list.

It looks like the Pacifica has been moved upsegment since it’s pricing basically starts where the Grand Caravan’s ends.

Because at this age and mileage, $1,700 and 40,000 miles is a pretty big difference . I didn’t vote NP for the Accord either, but if this Camry was down in the $3900 range, it would have probably squeaked out a NP as well.

And do you think any of the Big 3 would donate a car to something like Pwn2Own to let hackers test out their security and find show they system’s vulnerabilities?

It also helps that as part of their settlement, VW was forced to bankroll a network of charging stations, which will make the adoption of their electric vehicles more appealing.

The Polestar 2 is not $35,000k even with the tax credit included. The launch price starts at $63,000 (or $55,500 after tax credit), and they won’t even begin production of these higher-specced cars until Q1 2020. Sure there may be a $44,000 ($36,500 after credit) version someday, but it certainly isn’t in 2-4 weeks,…

The big question is how many Polestars 2 are they planning to manufacture per year? Mass-market can really mean anything, and Volvo hasn’t made any info available. If it’s similar to the other manufacturer’s 40k per year, than Tesla doesn’t have much to worry about, especially considering that they won’t even start…

McLaren would be great if it wasn’t for that terrible ROKiT logo, which doesn’t match the livery at all.

A buddy in highschool had a 1988 Pontiac Firefly which had very similar specs (supercompact hatchback with a 60 hp 1.0L i3). Riding around town was fine, but yeah, taking it into the mountains was a nerve-wracking experience.

Why would someone invest money in Ford to make 4.4% when they could go to a number of other places to make 8%?

Holy moly, I’m astounded to learn that a Court could be insolvent and that it relies on fees from corporations filing lawsuits to stay afloat. This seems like a major conflict of interest.

Does anyone offer removable bins from the waste collecting areas added to doors? I swear in most cars I’ve seen, these are just used for throwing random crap and eventually accumulate with garbage. Having an easy way to clean them out would be a nice improvement.

Neutral: Even with so many other manufacturers announcing electric cars to be sold in 2020, none of them have the logistics chain for batteries that Tesla has set up, so their ramps will be much longer.

Oliver Schmidt would beg to differ:

It’s almost as if the Testarossa isn’t their daily driver.
