The article stated that the solar roof made the electricity bill drop to 0$, and stated that the Leaf was “free to drive” (which I’m assuming meant that the energy used to power it was free). The article did not say that either the solar roof or the Leaf were completely free. I’ll concede that saying the Leaf is “free…

While I agree that the cost of driving does not go to zero, it is also obvious that David has leased or purchased a series of Electric Cars, most of which are high performance machines with high performance price tags. What he spent on these vehicles is similar to what he would have spent on similar gas powered machine…

When the Elva was first announced in 2019 McLaren said they would build 399… then a few months later they said 249 and claimed that was based on feedback from their customers who wanted it to be “more exclusive”… now the number is 149. So, yeah I guess it “sold out” after they cut the number of available units by 60%…

when asked about other left over parts laying about and any plans to make completer cars from them they responded with 2. 2 vehicles are planed. Bob and Greg. Oliver was initially picked for the first vehicle but the BBC and Top Gear have the naming rights to that.....

I like it, but how can I use it to show I’m extremely insecure in my masculinity?

Porsche already has you covered

Not to mention the fact that the front seatbelts roll back automatically!

I GET IT

Peoples worry about losing jobs to Mexico always strikes me as odd. Mexico is a friendly neighbor. You don’t want illegal immigration - having a healthy economic Mexico probably helps more than anything. Mexico is a lot better than losing manufacturing to China.

Just order what you want. Problem solved.

in those countries don’t cruise at the speeds people tend to on a US Highway. A lot of countries in Europe (...), don’t typically have a good highway network

This is pretty conventional. If he wanted to go out in style he would have made an Ex-MOD Airportable hearse, flown it up in the air and let it drop out of the C-130 with a timer and plastique that made it explode in flames over the North Sea. That’s how I want to go. Viking funeral on steroids. 

Being RHD doesn’t appear to have hurt the Japanese car industry.

Sure it is. It isn’t part of the European Union but it is part of the geographical region known as Europe..

There is some debate as to when the first ever motorcycle race was held.

No. Volvo trucks and Volvo cars are different companies. AB Volvo sold Volvo Cars to Ford in 1999 and Ford sold them to Geely in 2010

It’s not 16 months. The final application was handed in in June 2020, but Tesla chose to omit that information from their press release, along with the fact that they also had one rejected.

Remote, mechanical opening is fine, but what I noticed about that taxi in that video clip is that they were also remote, mechanical closing. Does your fancy Ferrari have that?

I recall reading back in Dieselgate the 5 largest ships produced more NOX than all the diesel vehicles engines in the world. Just...perspective. And to those railing against heavy fuel oil, it has to be used SOMEWHERE. Otherwise it is waste and must somehow be disposed of, so might as well burn it. Sure, it could be…

“unnecessary pointless bullshit” you mean literally EVERYTHING? Because that’s what container ships carry. Over 80% of all goods in the world, and over 90% of international trade, is transported by sea. Food, cars, clothes, you name it, they probably got to you in a container. Yes, the lack of emissions regulations in…
