It is a pretty old auto. If I’m not mistaken, it is a similar unit to what was found in the Lexus IS from the early 2000s. The gearing is also not ideal. 2nd gear ends at around 66~67 mph. For the manual, 2nd ends at just over 60 mph.

Watching the livestream reveal and seeing John Cho baked out of his mind was interesting. Not sure if he is regretting his life choices at this point, or if nobody told him he had to get on Skype. The whole thing was awkward. But I got to sign up to see the first 2 episode early.

Yea, the first few sequences are not good. Once I get past that, I feel like it starts to work.

I played it via Game Pass since I would never have bought it.

Makes sense. I can hear Mark complaining that the software is incomplete, the touch interface is unintuitive, it drives sloppy, and for the price the power is inadequate.

I’m confused by the wording of 1st Gear.

Yup. It is about allowing existing AMG products to exist in the face of EU regulations.

Complicated? Once you do it once you will realize how simple a process it was. Just count your lucky stars you aren’t having to build an entire PS5 from scratch... although building PCs is really fun, so I hope this could be a stepping stone for PS5 owners to get into PC gaming.

I wonder if there is a business case for this design or something similiar on an EV platform. Maybe Mercedes wants to share the new EQS platform, like they share their AMG parts. I assume we will start seeing tons of retro-EV designs in the coming decades.

Basically this. I’ve seen loads of F-250s towing horse trailers and boats, but most F150s I see are pulling uhauls, jet skies, and trailers, and are likely going 50 miles or less, round trip

“RWD: 58.0 kWh battery with a 160kW rear motor yields 167 horsepower”

Great! Can’t wait for people to start racing these things down crowded streets before striking a bunch of cars and people and all 9,000 pounds of mass causes unimaginable destruction and death!

I’m assuming it is as easy as turning on your VPN and switching IPs. If they put a file in your directory labeling you a cheater, the user can probably just swap some folders off a storage drive and they are good to go. A 5 minute inconvenience at most.

Waiting to see more about the Lucid Aid. I think that will be the one to get if you are in this price category.

I’m in the same boat. I think many of Kia’s current offerings are attractive and distinct, but the EV6 is bland, especially from the front. The taillights are trying really hard to save it, but it isn’t working.

I was excited for the ID.3 and ID.4 until the Mach E was revealed. I think Ford and many potential EV buyers would agree. Based on every review I’ve seen, the Mach-E is just about perfect for its price compared to the current crop of electric cars, with the only major issue being the public charging network. Also, it…

What made Audi bring back physical buttons? The Taycan is all touch screens. Likewise, all of their top-end products are switching to the lower touchscreen. Have their customers rejected this screen already, or was the car developed before it was ready?

True, but when you look inside the engine bay of a frs/86/bz you see just how low the front grill is and how the air flows right into the bottom of the block with probably 95% of that flowing out underneath the car.

Looking at the 1st gen MS3, they did have a traditional upper grill between the headlights where they…

Spyshots reveal that there is no intercooler, just a radiator with a design identical to the current car, and there is no way to feed a top mounted unit either. So it is 100% a NA motor. Whether it is 2.4 or 2.5 we don’t know. But we keep hearing 217 from a 2.4, however.

Microsoft has described ray tracing for the next generation as being an additive lighting effect, and not meant to replace traditional lighting methods already being used today.
