I agree with this, but also... 2007 was 14 years ago. If someone has shown some sort of personal growth, will we hold them accountable for old statements forever? What does “personal growth” even mean when it comes to professional relationships and employment?

10/10 would commute or run errands in that cute lil fucker
Honestly, I’d almost take the snout. Its one gaudy piece on an otherwise good looking car, and does harken back to some of their early cars. This 2 series just looks gauche from bumper to bumper.
Totally agree on the headlights. It’s a stupid trend that won’t die. (I guess that doesn’t make it a trend then.) Even VW fell in the cesspool with the latest gen Golf.
It’s like back in the day when we used to build custom characters for WWF WrestleMania on N64 and you have a limited number of attribute points to assign various physical traits. You could either wind up with someone who is small but fast and responsive, big, fat, and heavy but can sit on an opponent and take them…
MEDIOCRE!
the rear tires rub when accelerating? doesn’t sound like this safari car could even handle a speed bump. garbage.
It looks amazing but is clearly built for posing, not offroading (or even dune bombing). I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, I’m just stating a fact.
The CAD software can do anything you can do with pen and paper (and more). This isn’t the days of yesteryear when making anything but a straight line or box in CAD was a PITA. What’s happening is that these cars are being designed to appeal to a certain group of buyers. They want “big”, “angry”, “aggressive”, “big…
That purple - I want it. Even though I am pretty much committed to an EV for my next car, that colour is amazing. If I could, I would park it in my bedroom next to the wall behind my (removed) bed which is a darker version of that purple. Then I would sleep in it.
The rear of the white one looks like discarded halfway done origami. It is ugly all over though. That is all.
“I think the new 2 Series looks good”
What’s up with those idiotic clown car wheels on the Aminiyekta’s drawings? Can we *please, please* get some designers who can make a sketch without oversized wheels and rubber-band tires? They even protrude from the fenders!!
I’m a bit sceptical about that shared bearing. The accumulation of tolerances for that interface is quite long:
Pretty sure he was referencing fasteners in, and inside of, remote locations. Not the plastic clips holding your undertray up.
Large auto chains barely troubleshoot now, they just replace parts.
1st gear: Tesla is already an odd corporate animal unto itself but it repeats what is a general US business phenomenon and in my opinion something of a repeating mistake. I’ve worked for three US firms, each time setting up their first leg into Canada. Without fail, these businesses just plunked themselves down and…
Obviously...
Tesla is running into a problem that they can’t necessarily control, and that’s the ceiling of available technology relative to the various regulations they have to (and should) follow.
A lot of the innovation was due to the technology either not being available, researched, or scalable, with the expectation that once…
Around a decade ago, Elon Musk and Tesla had a great idea. They developed an electric car that was the opposite of what we had come to expect from one. People thought electric cars were slow so they made it fast. We thought they took forever to charge so they developed a way to charge them quickly and built the…
