As soon as the car crossed the finish line:

V wagon, huh? Good on ya!

Just wait, I’m sure a Hi-Po ridiculously named 2021 CT5-V 63 V-Line Sport with an LXX engine will be inbound at some point.

GM made faster cars than the germans (when the ats-v and cts-v first came out they were the darlings of the auto mags) and no one bought them. Why have bespoke power units and unseemingly power when it isn’t selling? Make cars that are accessible and people will buy, focus on the interior and tech while waiting for…

Oh great. Now we get to hear from all of the people who wouldn’t have considered buying these cars even if they had a 999 HP V10 and an 8 speed manual gearbox.

Its not just range and performance that sell though. Audi makes a very good case as a fast charging. Plus interior wise the Audi is light years ahead in quality and design. My thing is Tesla has been given a pass for their build quality issues and such, things like that likely wont happen with a major competitor. Plus…

To be fair, most humans seem baffled by the existence of the turn signal and don’t understand what it does.

We’re not Europe and we don’t want to be. We shouldn’t give up “they way we live & move”, because that is part of what gives us so much freedom.

It will be regulated all to hell. I work in the medical device field (EE) and wow do you have to jump through hoops. Also though, keep in mind, the software just has to be any better than a human driver to reduce injury and death.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

Hey look, the ports are open and I can control Dave’s car with my iPhone!  Let’s makes Dave’s drive home “interesting”!

This is one of the big reasons I say full AVs will never come; because the layperson consumer is looking for something that cannot easily be delivered to them. They want the full sci-fi experience of getting in, telling the car where they want to go, and then checking out for however long the journey takes. They don’t…

I always fall back on the “people are idiots” reasoning and it helps me sleep at night.

Consumers have full faith that automakers will sell them a safe and reliable product

I can’t wait for the following item:

CO-DRIVER MATH FTW!

5:15 was an estimate if they unrestricted it (which I’m totally for, BTW!), according to DriveTribe:

Porsche’s release on the lap says it was an average of 233.8 kph (145.3 mph).

That shit never ends well, kid. Be careful what you wish for.
