Not a fan of MBA types. 

Then he came to the US.

Hyundai? No, not quite. This robot is part of an evolution of regular robots started years ago by Boston Dynamics. Sure, Hyundai bean counters move numbers around ledgers and display some sense of ‘ownership’. 

Safety interlocked against forward/reverse motion when doors are open?  That would have been the common sense thing to do. 

Yes, the high sitting position presents a diminished oxygen level, hence the stupid moves. 

Focus groups are notorious for being heavy crack users.

Asking to us to identify suvs is like asking people to identify toaster ovens or something as boring.  Who cares.  They’re all pseudo farm or work vehicles.

We base our internet (and daily life) responses off of what we see and hear on a daily basis. Right now, in this country, the actions of self-proclaimed, ‘chosen’, religious people is why we’re in the current mess we’re in.  That would be COVID, Jan. 6th and other issues. 

Pornography signals in 4K don’t count.

The corruption of greed.  

To be fair, the issue is with a product supplied by LG Chemical, the battery.  Apparently, it wasn’t engineered too well. 

Those engines had a head metallurgy issue.  They all cracked by 120-140K miles.  

Boring.  Infinitely more fun to drive a high RPM engined car.  It’s intoxicating. 

Federalized Euro cars certainly but remember there was a Euro spec you could retune to, utilizing higher compression pistons, cams with more aggressive cuts, larger carbs, etc. unlike domestic cars made for the US, which only came in one tune during those horrible production years.

what does this soyboy mean?

Another Jan 6'er nutcase.

The increases by SCE and others in California is directly attributed to the penetration of residential solar, which now stands at just over 3%. That was enough to destroy the utilities’ business model and force them to raise prices on everyone else. It’s not over yet.

Nissan couldn’t be bothered to outfit it with water cooled batteries, like other EVs.  They paid the price.

Spend a lot of time on 500e forums. Short of a side collision destroying the charging port, I haven’t seen any reports of any systemic or common failures.

Fiat 500e. They can be had for cheap, and use the same Bosch/Samsung drive train as the BMW i3 (thankfully not at the same prices). Range is high 80s to low 90s, with over 100 miles if you choose to drive ‘non-violently’ for a week. Batteries are water cooled, unlike the problematic Nissan Leaf, and show no
