I’m probably going to be flying at some point this summer, but it’s really the first time I’ve stepped on a plane in years. My 5 year old hasn’t even been on a plane in her life. I’m not saying I’ve ever had a shockingly bad experience flying, but for the BS I have to put up with on a good/average day, plus the…

Looks like I’m installing a PA system on my cars.

and they definitely shouldn’t be able to play siren sounds.

This seems like a good place to restate my belief that it should be illegal for radio stations to play the sound of a car horn. They do so fairly often it turns out, and almost every time, it causes me a moment of panic as I look around to see if I’m about to be hit.

I’m no fan of T or Elon. But I am genuinely curious. Do people hate Elon more or care more about transitioning reliance to sustainable energy?

Wait. What? We’re talking about a company ( Pepsico) that had a revenue of 86.4 Billion dollars last year and I- the taxpayer- paid for a fleet of trucks for them? That does not make sense.

Great. Now let’s talk about how Pepsi, Coke and their parent companies are stealing water rights from Indigenous people in developing nations. Why let people have free water when you can sell them sugary, caffeinated water. 

I’m fairly certain the second one would sell very well as a Cadillac.

I was very close to buying one with the price cuts. But fuck Elon Musk. I’m not giving that clown a penny, and don’t want a car so closely associated with him.

it’s Literally Lipstick on a Pig. There is no way that’s not intentional. BMW is mocking their customers unreal! 

Ram has always been the Truck to beat for value. the main issue is that it’s a chrysler and reliability is all over the place. Owners experiences range so wide from “this was biggest financial decision of my entire bloodline’s lifetime” to “I’ve never had a single issue with mine and it has 2xx,xxx miles on it.” It’s…

I bought a Ram EcoDiesel 11 months ago and the Tundra/Sequoia is a vehicle I cross-shopped. I had 3 reasons not to choose the Toyota:

A rental contract is terminated by contacting the customer and asking they return the vehicle, not by reporting it as stolen.

I always found those larger gas stations in Texas to be weird. Generally, stations in Canada aren’t designed around staying that long. But seeing a gas station with something the size of walmart attached was weird, and completely out of sync with the task that you have at hand. Even the pickups of Texas aren’t going…

Sweet jeebus that’s some cool data.

Definitely agree with this! We have an 02 Yukon for towing or road trips and are considering a Bolt EUV for local stuff. It gets about 250 mile range which is still enough for a round trip to my nearest national park. It’s like 27k before any federal credits which makes it very reasonable for the price/use case imo

Probably the most intelligent response i’ve read on Jalopnik in a very long time. Respect.

Great points. My wife is now driving an ID.4. She does use some public charging because it’s free with VW and at work, but most of the charging is done at home. We rarely take roadtrips, so the longest one way drive the thing has been on is about 70 miles. And at least between Boston and CT, there’s enough charging…

You’re making the assumption that those things are important to any EV owner.
