I automatically root against any team pretentious enough to call themselves “The” blah blah.

An Explorer is basically a minivan without sliding doors, so other than a bit of ground clearance I suspect any argument against minivans would also apply to an Explorer.

A Toyota fan bashing EVs?! Say it ain’t so!

My only question is who stopped him and why?

I’ll be in my bunk.

It’s a little different when you’re there to throw out a different foreign invader and aren’t planning to stay.

I think it’s important to keep in mind that a given piece of media can be both seminal and not hold up. In my experience, most movies that did something first don’t hold up because other movies took their good idea and improved on it. I can appreciate the historical importance of a movie while not particularly…

The only way this happens is massive collusion among the car manufacturers, and aside from the legality of such a thing I doubt they could all cooperate well enough to do that.

Is that the spyder model?

Hot Rod was the one who actually used the matrix though, right? What we have here is a mixed metaphor. ;-)

The difference is start-stop can and has been done well. I’m not convinced we have the technology to do AEB correctly. I suspect eventually every single manufacturer is going to be the recipient of one of these investigations.

That’s the most plausible explanation I can come up with. Somehow Toyota found out Elon’s master plan and decided to troll him. ;-)

As ugly as some of the other cars are, I think this one wins because it triggers my trypophobia.

Again? That would imply they ever spellchecked anything here. :-P

The rural carriers probably still get better mileage than this because they have longer distances between stops. City postal delivery where you’re stopping and starting every 20 yards is about the worst case scenario for ICE vehicles. It’s also best case for hybrid/EVs.

You are Louis DeJoy and I claim my 5 pounds.

With enough speed, anything is a speed bump. ;-)

Sounds like an opportunity for an author on an enthusiast site... ;-)
