Your vehicular preferences (like mine) are an outlier and automakers are right not to consider us in their product planning decisions.

People who live in cities can’t easily charge EVs.

Can you imagine being at the end of that loan and still be paying over $1K per month to drive your 5 year old subaru?

First, the hinting of a lifted Veloster. Now a drifting van.

I think I’m becoming a Hyundai fan boy. Sorry Mazda. Start having more fun and maybe we’ll talk again — perhaps a 4WD MPV, like the good ol’ days?

This.  I just did open enrollment for next year at work and saw how much my premiums are going up. Nationalize it already. 

This is good shit for sure but imagine if GM didn’t have health care costs to use as a bargaining chip in the first fuckin place.

Model S with 4 motors and 17 seats coming next week. Will beat Taycan.

A faulty storage device contained in every vehicle, which based on the description of the problem, will have a 100% failure rate over time, and makes the vehicle completely innoperable. Sounds pretty bad to me. 

I mean its an escalation loop. You are more likely to be killed or severely injured if you are struck by an SUV or “higher riding” vehicle than your own.

People can enjoy things all they want, right up until it’s actively harmful to everyone around them. Driving giant gas guzzling SUVs because it makes you feel like a bigger person is actively harmful.

What he is stating is CO2 emissions. CO2 emissions is pretty much linked directly to fuel consumption. Someone riding his 1980's kawasaki is putting out all kinds of nasty shit to breathe, way more than any modern car, but it is heating up the planet less because his mpg is better.  

Found a little interesting PDF reviewing fuel economy in the EU,

I live in hot ass New Orleans and I commute on an electric bike that provides different levels of assist and also throttle only operation.

Why not just bikes?

No, most cities are not designed for cars.

Do you always take such big leaps or are your practicing for the Olympics?

Where do you see wealth politics? I see perfectly legitimate questioning of the environmental impact of services like this in the last fifth of a long and detailed article. Should the extremely valid concerns raised by carbon-powered transport not be covered on a site that’s dedicated to the subject of motor vehicles?
