Opel Manta

Can someone tell me what this is?

Well that settles it, Mercedes will have a shitty motor under the new regs and Renault will be back to making winning engines again. That is how Mclaren just works nowadays. 

Just to make sure, you are saying that an attentive human driver in the Lexus video would have been aware of the human driver not paying attention? But it a bad thing that a computer didn’t noticed a human not paying attention while backing up?

I have a Model 3, and likely will get the update with Smart Summon pretty soon, but there is no way I would try what these people are doing with their cars.  I am astounded at Model 3 owners who put a shocking amount of faith in these immature systems. While they are impressive, they still have a long way to go, and…

This was a pretty good one though, very busy home depot parking lot navigated well. https://streamable.com/rfwmx

Just ran into my garage to fix this and to my bewilderment realized that I don't own a porsche.

So lemme get this straight, they’re so detail oriented that they align Center caps a specific way (which I’m actually ok with because veee musht hav ORDAH!) but not so much that they won’t call a car with neither forced induction NOR and internal combustion engine, a “Turbo?” GTFOH

Yeah, I'm sorry, Porsche, but having the "turbo" designation on an electric car is just flat out false advertising and stupid, to boot. Turbo is not a trim level...it says the car involved has a turbo... Why not call it the taycan flat six? Or taycan turbine engine car..yes, you called a bunch of your finest cars…

Great David vs Goliath story, except it isn’t clear which is which. Tesla now sells more cars than Porsche. Porsche has been around a long time and makes vast amounts of money selling cars. Tesla, not so much. But Tesla is the Goliath of EV production while Porsche is the startup.

not sure how this works in Porsche’s favor, everyone wants the newest coolest toy when it comes to expensive cars. now instead of just having a really cool car that everyone who was going to buy one was already eyeing they now have everyone looking at what another company has coming out within a year. They basically…

If anything, this has been a PR headache for Porsche. I’ve seen 426 million Tesla-Nürburgring articles the past week and like two about the Taycan. Elons tweets have almost completely overshadowed the entire release of an electric car from Porsche.

Stars for you, your son, and the scout troop.

Well shit. That sure beats all the crap that my son, his scout troop and I pulled out of a ravine yesterday as part of the Clean Your Streams day. Seven plus tires, broken bikes, scooters and 20+ bags of garbage. It was nasty  

P100D Turbo is my preference 

Y’all were bashing Tesla and this attempt for an entire week about this. gg

In an 812 Superfast Matt Farah reported that he got 7 MPG dawdling around Los Angeles. SEVEN! Remember when people were fainting in the streets and clutching pearls when the Hummer H1 got 10MPG? That’s 30% more!
I love a V12 as much as the next guy, but in 2019 anything less than 15MPG is a middle finger too far. 

Is this what you describe as “a tantrum”?

The Taycan is the first EV to compete with Tesla and he seems to be pretty impressed. The only tantrums I see is in the commentariat over here.

The anti-Tesla bias is deep. Yesterday, Jalopnik was mocking Tesla for not having a track time. Today, they are twisting Elon’s tweets in the worst way. They aren’t there to set a dumb record, the goal is to be the fastest electric car and faster than the Taycan, to show they have better quality in every aspect.…
