The car is fine.  It’s overstyled but interesting to look at and has a nice interior.  It’s a practical size and the performance isn’t Tesla-level but still way more than the average person needs.  The problem is that the chances of the charging network leaving you stuck are way way way higher than with a Tesla.  This…

I think this is as bad a business decision as is possible.  The Superchargers are THE REASON to get a Tesla.  It’s the only viable electric car.

I just got a Bolt EV LT2 this week. It was one that was waiting for the battery replacement, and I put a deposit down. It’s a really nice little care -I’d say it probably drives like your average small car but accelerates more like a GTI. The tech is very nicely done and GM seems to have that subsidized install for…

Even Cars.com and Autotrader don’t have that updated by and large.  

I saw Ford was the first manufacture to try to scoop that cash by forbidding their customers from buying a lease out. Really, a lease should be almost free given that my wife’s Telluride lost 1k in a year and a half as a trade-in.

We also have safety standards here and that one probably doesn’t begin to meet them.

This whole thing is a block chain of why liberals (and I’m one) suck (why haven’t we banned that word as homophobic yet?). In an honest show of hands, how many people connect the word she used, and cerebral palsy? Really? Was her song really comparing someone who is struggling to live their best life with that or does…

No, I work with kids and have had more than one who was on the autism spectrum. I think it’s very selective of Jalopnik to fancy itself as the “woke” car page and then sacrifice people who aren’t neurotypical at the altar of “he’s a mean billionaire so everything he does is shit.” I do think Musk is a shady businessman…

What’s your excuse?

NO this is NOT. Elon Musk has what is commonly called Asperger’s Syndrome which is a form of Autism. A quick look into it reveals symptoms include:

The way you all write about Tesla is pretty unprofessional. Yes, Musk is a weird, autistic dude but I bet you’d run an article about it if another autistic person were trashed by media the way you all go after him. I’m not defending his behavior... but the journalism is trash.

With an EV the compromise is always clear (unless it’s a Tesla) and that’s you probably are going to want to charge it at home because away from home the charging experience is VERY unpredictable. We still have lots of chargers that don’t work, are always busy, or work at charge speeds that are just not feasible for…

I leased one for two years for an incredibly fair price pre-pandemic. Had the base GT AWD and it was a ton of fun - though had a ton of compromises with my two children in car seats in the back. Ultimately, I decided to get a truck to replace it because I really do use the utility frequently.  It had a few faults that…

That car is also being discontinued, though not as soon.

Why????

Nintendo is a cover band that plays 80s hits. I have a Switch - it’s ok for gimmicks and local multiplayer games with kiddie graphics. Metroid traces back to 1986 in concept style and execution. It might be a perfect side-scroller. I don’t care. At least the incredibly lazy Breath of the Wild had a story and some…

As food for thought, here is the 7 series - a competitor - and how similar it looks.  All they did to it was make it fussier.  The S has seen hundreds of improvements in that time.  If they change it, there should be an improvement.  So unless it’s more aerodynamic, has more space, or becomes lighter, it doesn’t NEED…

Don’t do drugs kids.  It leads to articles like this.

I was a student in Germany in 1995 and a very disapproving German girlfriend took me to the IAA. I have 2 distinct memories: the first was the then-new Porsche glass-roof Targa that was mounted on a wall with the glass roof perpetually opening and closing. The other, was a small building, round, with a circular…
