Which, when analyzed, will turn out to be 50% chicken.

Sure you did, unless you are being disingenuous and pretending that your response *to* *this* *article* is just a general response about people who race on public roads.

There isn’t a place which even remotely replicates those conditions. Several thousand miles of unrepeated road-course simply doesn’t exist. Argue the illegality or danger of it, fine, but don’t pretend there is another option besides simply not doing it.

Where, for instance? Where is there a place for people to have fun driving their cars really fast, very long distances in rally conditions that don’t use public roads? While this is illegal and dangerous it actually isn’t replicable in off-street driving anywhere in the U.S. that I am aware of.

Many problems with justifying the investment. Battery technology and vehicle range are rapidly changing variables. The need for superchargers is incredibly uncertain. Take the Cybertruck with it’s 500 mile range. I can imagine never needing a supercharger station with that so long as there was charging at my…

“Your rights end where the safety of human lives begins.” What utter nonsense. I take it you do not in any way take benefit from mechanized transport, just for starters on how rights you might defend reduce the safety of human lives.

Shouldn’t they back off and rename it the Ford Probe, soon?

Depends entirely on what you mean by “battery”. There are many mechanical energy storage mechanisms that return power in AC not DC. If you mean strictly, chemical battery, then what you said is true.

Is anyone looking into why this is so? Are there standards that cars in the U.S. must meet that need not be met in the China market that make this vehicle economically viable there but but here? Something else?

Millennials are dismissive of anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

Bernie is a schmuck.

The big problem with unions is that their mission quickly evolves from, “protecting the workers”, to, “ensuring the continuation of the union and the enrichment of its administrators”. Unions are not unique in this regard, this is true of every human organization. In the case of unions (and certain other types, like…

I generally feel like your garden variety idiot should have, at least for a while, a Volkswagen Beetle, pre 1972. With any luck, they will come out the other side with substantially less idiocy when it comes to cars.

There are two ways to parse that statement. There is an implied “total” after the “lift it up over seven inches” because the point you are making is reasonably obvious and, therefore, somewhat pedantic.

That looks like an alien autopsy.

Out of curiosity, what means do you use to determine miles driven since the last fillup? I do, but few people I know do, reset the trip odometer at every fillup. I suspect even fewer note the odometer at every fillup.

I disagree. It only feels different because you get the thing you want now and pay for it later. You still pay for it. It is still spending. Conversely, layaway is also spending but the reverse of borrowing, you pay for something before you get it.

It seems odd that a self-driving truck would have a sleeper.

I think the Palisade is more size-equivalent to an Explorer (Aviator?) than the Navigator.
