I really don’t understand why oversized loads like this don’t find out train schedules and have a list of level crossings that may pose difficulties with a contingency plan. There are too many videos of stuff like this happening. Ultimately the company(ies) that own the trucking/shipping company need to be responsible…

It’s not about whether they were designed for semis or not. They were designed for what you described... it’s just that the laws of physics dictate that it will be more successful in some circumstances than others. I would venture that plenty of reports have been written during and after the design of guardrails…

21 starts is nothing for someone that does a lot of city driving. I’m not saying this repair is gonna kill you if you have to do it, say, every 10 years, but I’m not sure why 21 was chosen as the variable here.

Some EVs are actually causing tires changes to be necessary at oil change intervals! That’s effing ridiculous. Additionally, we have a severely aging roadway infrastructure. Surely you’re aware that the majority of interstate bridges are well beyond their lifespan. Weight is an issue in almost every way... it affects…

We always have a truck problem.

I agree with you muttons. It doesn’t change the fact that the heavier the vehicle that strikes them, the greater the chance of penetration of the barrier. While this article seems to focus on head-on collisions, the reality is the greater the weight, the smaller the angle difference is required to breach the barrier.

I predict based on consumer feedback so far, that consumers don’t want to drive eggs, so to produce EVs that don’t look like eggs, and are therefore slightly less aerodynamic, automakers will resort to larger batteries to not compromise the range number. Nobody shops for EVs based on their weight... but range is…

So you’re comparing a cruise to being stuffed in a tiny seat on an airplane???

This is bullshit. BaT wouldn’t list my parents beautiful Mercedes and yet they list this piece of shit?!?

Nice try sinkhole... I know you’re programmed to swallow cars like Patriots. Maybe the next one.

Anyone who ignores the grade level crossing signals and dies I simply will not miss. Those genes don’t need passing on.

I have an 2013 Audi S8 with over 100K miles on it and it looks brand new... doesn’t squeak or rattle. People that ride in it are stunned it has that many miles. I also live in Detroit, so it’s not even on nice smooth roads. I’ve had to replace an air shock and a switch in the AC system but that’s it outside of regular…

I just can’t put into words how badly I was hoping it was going to be a Cybertruck.

I don’t think they did anything wrong here to be honest. If you’re of the mindset that things shouldn’t break, I would suggest staying in that bubble in your bedroom. Otherwise, there really wasn’t much left to do and the advice was sound.

eh... the screen isn’t that important.

Porsche should do a video showing a 911 on snow tires driving by a Cybertruck stuck in the snow... then it backs up... then it PULLS the Cybertruck back on the road. Make a commercial about it. I wanna see Musk’s head explode.

The real point to me is the continued deception the company (because we assume primarily because of it’s CEO) practices on such a brash level remains why I won’t buy or trust anything Musk is involved with.

Welcome to the modern world. Seems like nobody knows what a proof-readers is anymore... you guys at Jalop know what I’m talkin about.

But they’re rare... the VAST majority of cars didn’t have them.

ok Andy... what OEM DOES put an aux jack in.....
