Actually there are tons of regulations for that. The problem is that trucks and SUVs are in a different category and do not have to meet said regulations.

Why does my brain see the name Gol and translate it into GOL! ...like it would pronounced by an angry Klingon?

Yeah but you don’t understand, you see the vehicle on the left is NECESSARY to carry a mountain bike to a trailhead and park on asphalt. You wouldn’t want to try that with any vehicle under 6,000 pounds, and certainly not with 2 wheel drive.

With exceptions for corporate registrations and when vehicle exceeds certain height like today.

That last picture makes me think we need to bring in regulations that specify maximum bumper and headlight heights.

Firstly, thank you for the correct analysis of Lightning / USB-C.

CCS is not proprietary, it is an IEC standard; Tesla’s charger is.

Much like Apple’s Lightning, there is only really one proprietary car charger in common use for North America, the Tesla charger. The Tesla charger is smaller and came out before CCS was standardized, much like how Lightning came out before USB-C was standardized. All the new Teslas are compatible with an upcoming…

The LOL wut?

He is an idiot. He never even answered his own question in his own headline and just copy pasted link to someone else’s work he wrote an intro to

I think modern brakes are designed to fill the space behind 17"+ wheels, not the other way around.

Why is it that, every time there’s a crisis, Musk needs to make himself involved?

Used Chevy Volt.  I picked up a low mileage lease return 2018 CPO'd for $20k out the door not too long ago.

Exactly. Small 5 door hatchbacks exist and sell well. They just put big tires on them and call them small SUVs.

Oh, I’m not. But this is just a staggeringly dumb question. 

It never struck me until this morning reading this article back to back with the regular cab truck comparison that small trucks are given a deference here that is never afforded to small CUVs and that’s kind of interesting.

If you have to ask you must be new here

Erik, I’m asking this genuinely: are you really this stupid?

All automakers are big, lumbering things. They can’t respond in a few week’s time. Gas prices have only been way up for a few weeks (not including the griping about nominal prices prior to Feb. 19). It’s impossible to respond this quickly, even if all you have to do is hit the on switch at an idled plant. Also, modern…

There are plenty of small cars out there that get decent to really good fuel economy - the HRV, the CH-R, the Kona, etc. etc.  I know it’s not fashionable to like them on this site - but let’s not act like the only vehicles out there, new, are massive, hulking SUVs that consume gas like Trump gorging on McDonalds.
