Doesn’t Tesla’s touchscreen UI have a functionality to route you to your destination with stops at Tesla superchargers along the way as needed? This is a non-issue IMO.

I can see it working if you expect to drive just a few miles during a business trip and just never need to recharge. I expect that a typical business trips are unlikely to unexpectedly result in much more mileage than anticipated, so it could work from that perspective (if you know you’ll just go airport, to hotel-offi…

I’m SURPRISED the E90 is even on the list. How is the S65 engine compared to the S85 in terms of expense and reliability? Because I know, first hand, the E60 M5 is not a sustainable vehicle to own or drive before you run out of money.

A Geo Tracker. This was in Hawaii (Big Island) many years ago. I was there for a month (I had a gig where I could work from anywhere) and didn’t want to pay normal car rental company prices, but I found a local guy who rented cars. The Geo was just AWESOME for the Big Island. Tiny, light, 4WD, with manual, and…

Putting a fundamentally compromised (by very restrictive regulations) F1 engine into a car like this seems... strange. All that, just so the owner can claim they have the same engine as Lewis Hamilton? If I were in the market for a car like this, I’d certainly want to have F1-level light weight, handling, and…

I think not yet :( I posted a comment on another article a bit earlier in the day, and I’m still gray. And I have been commenting on Jalopnik since I think 2008 or so, before Kinja, and with the really old-school design!

Any news on VR support in GT7? If it can be played in VR, that would for sure make me go buy the PlayStation VR headset (well, and a PS5 to hook it up to).

Wow, I’m humbled that my E90 suggestion got picked - and out of the greys too :) Any chance someone could approve me so I’m not grey anymore?

But I think anything that keeps evolving with newer versions/etc makes for a bad forever car.

My ‘09 E90 M3. The last naturally-aspirated M3, just enough tech but not too much, looks great and sounds great. It’s peak BMW (things went badly downhill after that) and supremely practical. It’s basically the perfect car.

Nah. I hate mint ice cream and I think strawberry ice cream is awesome. Yet if I were appointed to an ice cream oversight board, I’m pretty certain that I would be able to make decisions about ice cream flavors in a rational and unbiased way. People aren’t slaves to their personal preferences.

oof, definition of “fugly”

The entire rage against SUVs or sports cars or whatever is just a red herring to keep people at each other’s throats instead of noticing that passenger vehicles only account for about 15% of carbon emissions and are even less of an issue when you start counting the other more acute human health toxins that things…

We just need to make everything electric so it can be in whatever form factor you want and you (mostly) won’t be harming the environment.

Personal road transportation, including mass transit buses, accounts for 9% of global CO2 emissions. And 11% of US CO2 emissions. I can dig up the references if anyone wants to see them.

Oh man, so many! Pretty much anything new from BMW and Mercedes qualifies.

A naturally-aspirated large V8, with a manual transmission, in a 4-door sedan, at that price, is NP any day. Sadly cars like this won’t be made much longer (the Lexus IS500 is probably the last new car like this). Assuming this car is in good shape, it won’t depreciate any further (and might get more valuable).

And this illustrates why these advanced driver aid systems are problematic. People get used to relying on them, which inevitably changes how they drive. When those systems stop working optimally, some drivers will still rely on them (consciously or subconsciously), and cause problems.

There might be some friction, but if any progress is going to be made on the very real climate emergency we’re in, every little bit must be done.
