So... with the range thing I’d say it becomes a much bigger issue when you have a very short range to begin with. If you are only getting 70% of 300 miles it’s a much smaller impact than getting 70% of 100 miles. The ubiquity of gas stations helps, but having a long range to pull from helps to alleviate the range…

Liking cars does not mean you have to like vaguely racist, quite imperialist ‘entertainment’ that has not evolved in any way since 2005 or so.

Porsche, Lamborghini and maybe even Ferrari are making utility vehicles, and BMW makes a new electric scooter with the utility of a skateboard.
Maybe I want to bring home a pizza?
Show me something more more along the lines of the 20 year-old BMW C1 Evolution:

There is a lot about conservatives that I can forgive. You want small government, you want less spending, you want support for farming, hunting, etc. That’s fine. We can disagree, but that’s okay.

What isn’t fine is when you (the royal you, I’m not accusing you specifically of anything) start messing around in other…

Taking a trip to Linengrad, Comrade?

Every article I can find about this cites the Daily Mail as their source and, anyone who knows about the UK press will know that the Daily Mail are the largest anti Europe bullshitting shite stirrers out there!

It’s nothing to do with light pollution (the Mail likely made that up because it will incite anger in their…

Reading this a day late because I spent all yesterday on the highway...

Yes, the term/crime of jaywalking (which was literally invented to lay blame on pedestrians when drivers hit them) does exist. But drivers are still required to avoid collisions with jaywalking pedestrians if possible. You can’t just say ‘That’s jaywalking’ and drive over someone. Well, you probably can, enforcement…

Since pedestrian safety doesn’t matter, can we just bring back Pop-up headlamps then?

Drinking Game; take a shot every time David says or uses “holy grail” in an article or title.

Too bad it's on Apple tv.

The US is far more spread out with a lot of the country being boring, flat expanses of nothing but cornfields and strip malls that look identical and box stores that are. Sometimes, these places can be hours from a home, so a shopping trip is not to be taken lightly, encouraging the buying of large quantities of stuff …

I’ve always found this a bit strange (americans preferring autos and europeans manuals, that is). As an european, I don’t even remember automatic transmissions are a thing most of the time; I never even drove an auto. Most people I know never did. And here’s why this is a bit paradoxical to me: cars seem so much more…

As long as you keep the “Latest” option available, so we can have a version of the site that isn’t a UX fever nightmare, I could care less about the layout.

This....

I don’t suppose Defector will expand into other verticals...

Keep those active bolsters on the most aggressive setting if you can, however. They’ll hug you like your dad never did.

Flame me, but luxury to me is “curation by experts,” not “I get to do every damn thing by myself.” Look at it this way, I can hire an interior decorator to go to Ethan Allen and some tile store (or whatever) and pick out the stuff for my home that looks best together. Or I can schlep down there and do unpaid labor…
