Jalopnik editors have lost something over the years. I could see the old recommendations to be stuff like this

incEL Camino.

They would not have anything like enough time to raise sail and use them to do anything about the power loss, even if the wind was blowing in the right direction to help, and they had enough room to maneuver. 

The car did alert after hitting the deer, it just alerted RFK, Jr. to come pick up the carcass and dispose of it in Central Park. That’s the new protocol. 

It’s been below $2.80 by me in Jersey for a while I think. I don’t look much anymore, the vast bulk of our household miles are electric now. I have a few gas vehicles still, but they are toys so they get filled very infrequently. This whole ‘what’s the price of fuel today?’ thing is really goofy once it stops being…

Absolutely blew the minds of a few MAGAs when I explained the basic economics of crude extraction, oil refining, and end user sales and how POTUS has virtually zero influence on it. Didn’t change their political leanings at all, but they did shut up about gas prices the rest of the day. 

Thanks Biden!

Preparing for a lot of anecdotal “evidence” that gas prices aren’t going down nationally because it’s still high at their corner station, and a lot of “yeah but the price of eggs is up!” posts.

When he was president he absolutely would question why he has to help states in need of federal aid when those states didn’t go his way in the election. Which is exactly why he’s accusing Biden of doing that with the hurricane releif.

It’s not all about the money. It’s also about just not using gas for some. I pay a few cents more per KwH at home because I’m signed up with a renewable energy provider, but that’s fine with me. 

We have loved our PHEV. I think we kinda live in the goldilocks are for one. Living in town in the isolated western area (~2 hrs to the nearst interstate) allows us to use our battery day to day but the next closest towns are a good distance away. The charging infrastructure in between these places is close to zero…

You definitely can get away with almost entirely electric for around town! I've posted it before, but my boss has a PHEV, and between home and office charging on a 120V outlet, he only needs to fill up the gas tank once every 1,000 miles

Most of it isn’t. Tesla is a publicly traded company and ~80% of the company is owned by shareholders, possibly even including you, if you or your retirement account owns share of the S&P 500. Tesla is far from the only mainstream company you probably are purposely or unaware you are a customer of that donates to…

1st— Mmhmm, yeah “centrist” views. Money going to a whacko senile felon, who’s now threatening Americans with military action who disagree with him and his cronies. Putting my family’s existence at risk. Real nice.
After all that’s gone down these past few years with Trump, his slime supporters etc.....how, HOW can…

My immediate thought when looking at a picture with trump supporters is 1) They are paid to be there. 2) They are completely and utterly STUPID.

I have owned many very nice cars, including Jaguar E types and top of the line Mercedes coupes, and then of course, motorcycles. But I am now 71, retired, live in the middle of San Francisco now and don’t currently own a vehicle. Frankly, something like this is about the only sort car (excluding handmade fantasies…

It is both a PR spin and fuel for right wing politicians who have or want non-union factories for making Toyotas & other Japanese cars. Keep in mind that Toyota doesn’t really care about the environment since they also made the V12 powered Toyota Century until recently. Like Honda they just want you to think they care…

“Jobs across the horse and buggy industry will be lost with the pivot to the internal combustion engine”

It’s not just the lost jobs that keep me up at night. I fear most of the flyover states will go full MAGA if electric vehicles cost them the ethanol subsidies that keep their state governments solvent.

The cuts could come as skilled jobs in “engine-related” work are lost as gas-powered motors are replaced by electric ones
