It’s not lawyering, it’s engineering. Engineers know one thing about “legal crap” which is to use the world SHALL whenever they want something to be done.

I mean, I saw a Hellcat in a showroom. But I never saw it move.

Lucid has a new tooled factory and the backing of the $400 billion Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund. 

The taillights are from a 2nd gen, refreshed Chevy Cavalier sedan, 1991-94, one of the worst cars I have ever driven in my life. It was so horrible I wouldn’t want any car that carries its taillights ever. Or any other part from this horrid, ugly thing. (Worked for a rental car company in the 90s, and I am generally…

$2,300 for a likely no-rust vehicle with a 90's Toyota motor that is at worst, half-dead? The options for this poll should have been:

A few years of enjoyment will put it at 200,000 miles, and you’re not getting $15,000 out of a 200,000 mile car, just like this guy isn’t getting $16,500 out of a 166,000 mile car.  Also, this is about the miles these things start rapidly falling apart.  I think this dude probably knows about quite a few things about…

Hydrogen cost too much energy to produce and store at the moment to be ecologically/economically viable in a car : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production

1st Gear: On a practical level, it’s really hard to blame the automakers for giving up on hydrogen. It’s been perpetually “five years away” for decades now. Emissions standards are becoming stricter faster, the need and usage of vehicles is changing, and batteries are becoming subject to Moore’s Law-esque technology…

I think the key to what makes Zagreus a better protagonist is that he doesn’t have to fit a preconceived idea of a Greek hero. Because that role is kinda always a tool. It’s not their fault, it’s just sorta baked into the character. And because it’s existed so long, and so many tools have tried to emulated it.... now…

Kia Souls are fucking great and if Americans weren’t insecure to the point of frantically committing suicide via autoerotic asphyxiation while furiously sobbing against the backdrop of “Proud To Be An American” played on endless repeat, they would be half the cars on the road. I’m prepared to die on this hill, fucking…

BREAKING: The CEO of a large company is vaguely optimistic about the chances of receiving a contract from the federal government.

I read that as Schrader believing that Workhorse had a great shot at the USPS contract due to Biden’s comments. Unless evidence comes out that Workhorse already knew they were out of the running, these comments are just optimism.

Serra Nissan in Birmingham got fined by Nissan for sending them bogus sales numbers to get bigger payments and raided by the FBI for their unscrupulous financing practices.

I mentioned this on your last post regarding dealership dirty tactics (tossing keys on top of the building). Back in 2012 I drove 130 miles to Serra Nissan in Birmingham to test drive and potentially buy a used Hyundai Elantra ($7,000) listed in a newspaper ad. The salesperson went inside to get the keys, then came…

Sometimes, I think the simple answer is the best. I’d be willing to bet the dude probably just didn’t know about the inventory on the lot. There have been a few times I searched around online for a car I was looking for, found it, and then drove to the dealership within 30 minutes to go test drive it.

As noted early in the post, Tesla already has a giant battery in Australia, and I haven’t seen any reports that it isn’t doing exactly what was expected. I don’t think anybody cares about panel gaps on battery cases.

1st: While Tesla deserves some skepticism as long as the CEO is a Twitter troll instead of an adult, in this particular case they’re not doing anything terribly wild. The utility industry is interested in batteries to replace “peaker” plants, which are powered by natural gas and only fire up in times of high demand,…

You’re comparing apples and oranges to a degree, What kind of riding do you do? Getting the right bike for your application will make a lot more difference than the suspension design.

The #1 cause of fuel pumps being slow is that I’m already late to wherever I’m heading.

One of the side effects of costco having dramatically higher minimum wages is getting people to genuinely care (or at least more lol).
