but it’s actually cheaper to replace a battery than an engine, especially when you consider the costs to dispose of/recycle the one that was removed. So if the battery lasts as long or longer than a gas engine, that’s a moot point

You do know what happened to several former writers, editors, and even entire G/O Media sites in the last couple years, right? There’s a reason why Deadspin didn’t post anything new for like 9 months, and then when they hired ALL NEW writers, they disabled comments. They also completely killed off entire sites and…

but to also essentially live in as well while on a road trip? Even with the seats folded down, there’s not really enough space for an average adult male to sleep in the back while also having all of your stuff in there. God forbid he has a cooler, backpack, and camping gear. 

Who lets Erik answer these things? Of course he’s going to suggest a Fit, it’s probably the only vehicle he has any experience with (don’t ask him to help you change a headlight though). What a terrible long distance highway roadtrip suggestion.

obsolete because it requires a cellphone? But ride sharing apps also require a cellphone. So I’m sure it’s a pretty safe assumption that if someone is in an Uber or Lyft, they’ll have their cellphone with them. All they would have to do it bluetooth connect to the headunit from the back seat

Immediately got Buick Avista and Cadillac Escala vibes from this, which is exactly what both of those brands should be building! Both of them EV, the Buick with 2 doors and softer curves, and the Cadillac with 4 doors and Cadillacs standard design language. JUST BUILD THEM ALREADY GM!

maybe a hot take: any car that is described as “tricked out” is not actually tricked out

my guess is for regenerative braking using the motor? you could control the resistance using the lever? other than that I have no other guesses.

or when people with kids move into a home on a busy street and then complain about all the traffic and how it’s unsafe for their child playing in the yard. Even putting out those little child shaped signs saying “slow down” lol like, nobody told you to move in there

There was an NSX on Craigslist in Detroit a few years back with like 200,000 miles on it and bumpers with duct tape. A bunch of the pictures of it were of it being driven in the snow. I forget how much it was listed for, but as soon as I saw it I felt like the owner deserved an applaud.

a V12 with a gated manual gearbox is worth whatever the owner asks

That’s fair. But also to be fair, a statement to the public really doesn’t mean anything. Elon Musk has made public commitments to numerous timelines for vehicle releases, but if you don’t meet that commitment, there’s no repercussion.

Yeah there really is no contest in that aspect lol

3rd gear: Ah, so I guess FedEx is really making the US Postal Service look bad by...

Honda has teamed up with GM. I believe the idea is basically for GM to build Honda badged EV’s for North American sales, possibly export markets as well. I’m really not sure what Honda is contributing to the deal though, outside of money/a percentage of profits. They have next to zero experience with EV’s, just a few…

Jeep people regularly convince themselves that their vehicles are worth twice what they actually are.

Jesus. I appreciate your motorcycle related articles and your (for the most part) neutral stance on brands, but holy shit are you a condescending prick in the comments. RufusRJones is right, we all know what the exterior looks like but that didn’t stop you from posting pictures of that

That seems like abysmal fuel mileage in 2021. 19/26/22 is pretty much the same as the Town and Country from 20 years ago!

I went from the first slide straight to the comments because of what you said in the opening slide.

this seems to be one of those time when rare doesn’t equal cool
