I have to question in what way Tesla counts as a “luxury” brand. In what way is a Model Y more “luxurious” than a similarly priced Mustang Mach E? In what way is a Model 3 more “luxurious” than a Hyundai Ioniq? Honestly, in what way is a Model S more “luxurious” than a Chrysler 300? What are we even talking about here?

The software glitch is that the computer order banks for Escapes are empty in favor of Bronco Sports.

You need to think about ICE cars the same way we thought about cathode-ray tube televisions. They were everywhere, they were ubiquitous, until... they immediately weren’t. Within a span of ten years, new ones stopped being manufactured; people stopped making parts to repair them; and people stopped making content for…

Sorry; no. It’s about the Pontiac G6 coupe and the high-luxury lifestyle associated with these cars at the time.

When the EU and China and much of the United States has banned the sale of internal combustion engined vehicles and thus the demand for gasoline has fallen off a cliff... where do you think the gasoline for maintaining a fleet of ICE cars in Mississippi or Arkansas is going to come from? How much do you think a gallon…

There’s also the problem of charging at home, which for a lot of us requires a massive overhaul of our home’s entire electrical system.

I don’t know if anybody is the right age to remember it, but these cars were so hot at the time that they sparked a gigantic dance music hit about them:

People mistaking self- propelled howitzer for tanks is extremely common; this flipped that. The Ford M1918 was America’s first domestically designed tank (in 1918); previous American tanks were licensed copies of Renault designs.

It’s a common misconception that the M1 Abrams is a tank; it’s actually a self-propelled howitzer. The Army’s current main battle tank is the Ford M1918.

I’m sorry, I must be missing something: is there seriously a Jeep Wrangler with a $115k MSRP?

Give the Prius Prime a rear-axle electric motor and sell it as a competitor to the WRX.

JFK and Newark are both with a 15 mile radius of lower Manhattan; LaGuardia is closer. 

Stansed is a close to Heathrow as Manhattan is to Trenton. There are at least 6 commercial airports that distance from Manhattan, possibly 7.

I just feel like “a highway with normal traffic” is the ideal scenario to be using adaptive cruise control, and in my limited experience it just doesn’t work that well (pictured: the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway with typical mid-day traffic, the type of highway traffic I regularly drive in):

I think we’re having a disconnect and I think it’s because you’re driving on very different highways than I am. On the highways I drive on, either everyone is constantly fluctuating between 0 and 30 mph, or it’s 3:00 a.m. on a Wednesday and there are no other cars in sight. “Traffic” on a highway necessarily means…

On the highway, there are generally two modes -- either you’re in “traffic,” meaning you’re regularly having to come to a complete stop, and aren’t regularly getting above 25 mph or so, or you’re in “no traffic,” where you can just park yourself in the center lane at 20 mph over the speed limit and let everybody else…

Stop-and-start highway driving seems to me to be the best use case for adaptive cruise control -- you’re on the interstate, traffic is heavy, you’re alternating between being at a dead stop for 30 seconds and then moving forward at 5 mph for 100 yards at a time. But, from my limited experience, it doesn’t let you stay…

If it doesn’t work below 28 mph I’m not sure what the point of it is, since that’s the time it would be of the most use, in heavy highway traffic.

The longest drive I regularly make is between my house and my in-laws’ house, almost exactly 100 miles. Usually takes 4 hours; there is no point along that drive where traffic is ever light enough to be able to get to the speed limit. Regular cruise control is useless in such a sictuation. You would think adaptive…

If you’re driving in traffic, and there’s more than 1 car length between you and the car in front of you -- whether you’re going 5 mph or 40 mph -- somebody is going to slip in between you and the car in front of you because that’s an open space in traffic where they can get ahead of other traffic. If the system then…
