ROFL!

Elon Musk has nothing to do with it. Every marketer hawking everything from phones to dishwashers is touting “AI this and that”. It’s the new hotness buzzword. I guess something had to replace blockchain once it got stale.

The people who want/buy a pickup want that open bed. They are not comparable vehicles. I don’t get the appeal, but for whatever reason people LOVE the stupid things, and the Maverick is a bases loaded homerun for Ford. That they priced too low initially for whatever reasons known only to them for certain. They have…

LNG is pretty safe stuff as fuels go. It doesn’t burn at all as a liquid (and it’s kept at -260F or lower to keep it a liquid in the tanks), the tanks are only 5psi for big ones like this, and double-hulled, and if it leaks unless it’s in a confined space it dissipates really rapidly into the air. In a confined space…

You special is my ruined. 

I am SHOCKED that they didn’t take the opportunity to say that the car has AI=powered shifting. Yet happy they resisted the temptation to use the buzzword du jour.

Yeah, no, that’s not how that works. Car insurance doesn’t cover mechanical dilemmas. Gap insurance just covers the difference between what you owe and what the insurance payout is if the car is written off in a covered accident. Mechanically totaled doesn’t count, and certainly neither does the car becoming nearly wor…

That is a problem literally everywhere coast to coast with the possible exception of Boston. People can’t find full throttle with a GPS.

You must be kidding. $4 Starbuck’s gift card. That will be reported to the IRS so he has to pay tax on the $4.

It’s California - at least they got caught. Imagine how often this sort of shit goes uncaught in the Deep Blue South.

Parking lot to the danger zone?

Correct. Those can be removed, but not jettisoned. These would have been underwing tanks. Which come in few different sizes, IIRC.

Bombed by your own National Guard? Yeah, we covered that!

Absolutely no doubt about that at all! Why I have two of them, not Saabs currently, but I have owned three Saab wagons in the past.

Thank you Ms. Jones. I didn’t know my HS English teacher hung out on here. Or at this point, that you are still alive.

And what does that have to do with needing to run away from a charger in an EV? The fact that one even owns an EV is excellent evidence of a solidly middle-class privileged existence.

You aren’t finding a Hampton Inn in Middle-of-Nowhere, ND. NoTell Motel, at best. If you are lucky, the cockroaches are friendly.

That is a branding problem that has nothing to do with how the cars are powered. Though at least in the US, the only real issue GM has is that both Buick and one or the other of the two truck brands probably should just go away. But Buick is arguable even then - they do decent volume, and it makes it easier to have…

It is specifically legal here, and the sidewalks on the main roads are 8-10' wide to accommodate it. They are even usually striped into two lanes. In parts of town, it’s legal to drive a golf cart on them too, for that matter. Those are signed.
