Battery swapping would catch on if it were in full swing now, with a support infrastructure and swap-capable vehicle platforms. But that’s not where we are, and it will take 5-10 years to get there if we start today and go whole-hog. In that same 5-10 years, charge times will come down to approximately equal a…

FCA - You wanna make this “special edition” Charger really unique and special? Drop the Challenger’s 6-speed in it!

Couldn’t help myself...

I’ll wait for the covfefe option, that will apparently only come on the Grand Sport.

Question: I believe this was covered somewhere in one of the previous 1,745,888,243 Jalop articles on the C8, but does Z51 now include Mag Ride, or is that still a standalone option as it was in the C7?

To be sure, the driving dynamics and feel of this one will certainly be unlike any previous Vette, due to the layout transformation. Perhaps it will provide the direct level of connectedness you seek.

Not sure what you’re talking about or afraid of here. The NA Corvette lineup has proven pretty universally bulletproof for quite some time now.  

Mainstream cars these days are pretty much equally reliable for at least their warranty periods, Alfas excepted perhaps. And the OP advised that the Lincoln was less than a year old. But I get what you’re saying.

This sucks—no one should have to go through that type of experience, especially a 17 year old trying to buy a reliable first car. However, this isn’t really a CPO issue, it’s a criminal and fraud issue on the part of a business operating what amounts to an organized crime enterprise. Unfortunately, criminals exist in…

More importantly, is it going to be 3 pedal drive?

Christopher Cross on the stereo anytime the top is down, at FULL VOLUME!!!!

I don’t think you read your own linked article. If you had, you’d have seen that it confirmed exactly what I wrote in my post—that Chick-Fil-A has no company policy one way or the other on gay rights and that the Cathy family has privately donated to groups that some consider anti-gay (whether they are is a topic for…

Charging times will equal those of gasoline fill-ups long before you’ll see Level 5 autonomy.

Yep, they are the Apple of the automotive industry, when it comes to silly proprietary peripherals.

Mathematically speaking, if the majority—or even plurality—of the public misunderstands something, then they are not a lowest common denominator.

Can you provide a little more info on the fraudulent bidder situation on BaT? I wasn’t aware of it being a major issue there.  Genuinely curious.

But nobody was screaming TAKE AWAY ITS MANUAL.

Wow—me neither!! Probably only in countries with different product liability rules than the US. Here, many lawsuits would likely arise from vehicles lurching into things when the auto-start engaged while the car was in gear.

Hell, let’s just go straight to the source - BAN ENGINES!!!!!

I’ll be the half-joking contrarian: My argument is for people to stop having fucking kids!
