As the whole tree hugging movement pushes for electric cars they continue to overlook the facts. Making electricity, for the most part in the US, is done by burning coal or use of atomic power. Both of these come with an entirely different set of problems. Adding everyones car to the electrical grid would require us…

Not a classic, no one got hurt, 1 million means nothing to this incredibly rich man, everything is fine.

This is just odd. Even with two kids in the backseat, my parents used to drive 1200km to Italy or 10 hours to Paris in one go when we lived in Germany. When I’m on my own, I basically just stop for fuel. And try to sell your theory to travelling salesman who have to cover a large area with few customers, who often…

Dear Mr Ballaban. You are one of the very few people that’s getting acclimated to the ‘ New Normal’! Gone are the days of writing articles on 0-60 in 3 seconds or 500 hp BS. The new Normal is - range ,Features like Auto Pilot, collision prevention and fuel efficiency ; to go from point A to Point B in comfort. We will…

Nothing. I drive 500 miles each way from Pennsylvania to North Carolina and back, at least once a year, and I only ever stop for fuel. My current car gets about 400 miles to the tank. If I had a car that had a range of 500+ miles on a single tank, I wouldn’t stop at all.

So here’s a question I’ve been beating to death lately: what exactly is the driver supposed to be doing while the autopilot is engaged? I’ve read mixed things. I’ve seen videos online of people doing all sorts of things. I’ve also read that Tesla recommends you actually keep your hands on the wheel, even when using…

Maybe this should be a part of the Buyer’s Guide, or have a “special advertising section” warning.

-What kind of cruising speed were you able to maintain?

I’ve done treks with 300+ mile stints. It makes sense when you’d rather cover ground than waste time at gas stations or something. A Tesla would be far behind in an instant due to taking detours from the optimal route in order to have Supercharger visits on the way. And every one of those charging visits themselves…

That’s really reaching for some wild-ass, creative, BS ways to blow sunshine up Tesla’s rear end! I hope the explanation is some fatigue-induced zombie-like state and mind-tricks from Tesla employees as they handed you the car.

Our friends at The Smoking Tire did 867 miles in an A8 TDI loaded with guys and gear.

No it doesn’t (4 mins in).

No sane person is actually driving 650 miles on a road trip without stopping, at the very least, to pee, unless they’ve got a patented Torchinsky urination system. But, like I said, no sane person.

I disagree based on personal experience. I get much more frustrated with long trips as a passenger than as a driver. Driving gives me something to do. Being a passenger is mind-numbingly boring most of the time. I can do 1000 mile days driving no problem, but if I’m sitting on the right? After about 300 miles I just…

Being shapely, French, and wearing an easily removable top doesn’t hurt either.

Vehicross, I will never forget you!

of course Tesla will say that. They will keep saying it until their sales start taking a hit, especially when automakers start releasing higher end products in the Model S price range.

Anyone designing a sports car these days goes for long hood, short rear and wide wheel arches. You could argue that looks like an AMG GT, F-Type, that recent Maserati concept that has vanished of the face of the earth, or any Aston from that angle

Once the Germans (including Porsche), Jaguar and Volvo can be bothered doing a full EV Tesla will last as long as a Betamax video recorder at the 1981 Home Video Technology Conference

Count me in. 5 benzs n counting. The best or nothing. 368000 miles on my W202. Tanks
