this is a huge windscreen so the head of the driver is probably not higher than the end of the wipers, which mean it will be wiped if you’re slow or will just fly over the cabin if going fast enough.

well, if your car makes the specific gear-shifting noise that automatics have, to me it sounds like how shame would sound, if it made noise.

“the only Mini I was actually considering buying was the non-manual electric model” ... I test-drove the e-Mini and the i3s and the i3s is definitely the sportier from the two (in curves has better composure). I’d get the i3s.

the thing I don’t like with touch screens is that they’re considerably warmer than the environment and at some point using them I’m getting a kind of annoying heightened heat sensitivity in my finger skin.

Apple TV has an app since last year, so use that, it’s a nice experience, too.

yep, I can confirm as a Tesla M3 driver, in Germany. I have the first package of the Autopilot extra package (only the second package recognises the traffic signs). The sudden deceleration happens when using the ACC (not Autosteer) and the car thinks that the speed limit has just changed to a much lower one. I had,…

That’s only working if the bikes in the front have the oomph (and will) to go fast enough. Let the scooters in the front and you’ll have to overtake them later. Secondly, there is no hot vibrating engine when you’re in an EV and you’ll have incredible acceleration at green. How is that safe for riders when they’re…

I meant the race director at all times. Both teams tried to manipulate him.

it would only be fair. I mean he got played by RB really hard. He said “we let them race” and then RB did all their questionable overtaking in the first laps. And in the last race he cracked. Yeah, he fucked up, FIA fucked up and now there is a huge credibility issue in F1. For me only way to see this restored, is…

will get a eRV for work (I’m an IT consultant) when the estimated WLTP range is 2000 Km. Then I’m sure of 1000 Km  or 600 Km plus energy for a couple of days. The problem being of course rainy or snowy weather, which cuts hard into the range of an eV

I thought so too, until I got myself an M3 (Tesla). It’s a non issue since the verbal commands work like a charm

that meme is based on the quote Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst, from Henri Cartier Bresson. But that was with film. With digital, I’d say the first 100000 are the worst. And you’ll only get better if you “develop” the pictures... if you just store them without analysis and post, nothing will change.

well, in closed spaces is incredible how necessary is a flash gun. and you get perfectly drawn lines with a normal camera and even a recent iPhone mixes up lines at the lowest level. I’d say this: you probably always need a flash of some kind or reflector to get more light (to fill the shadows) but you might get away…

yeah, you need to get better, sorry.

how about using non-retard units? please there are some hundreds millions Americans and 6 billions using SI units. Using miles is already bad enough but gallons??? You’re using liters at the end of the article. At least specify in both retard and standard units.

agree, this year it’s been a shitshow, with all the pushing for drama, etc. F1 is supposed to have some drama not a lot (just like salt in food). This year has been salty train to Salt Lake City all the way.

hey, always thought that there in Amiland you have ranches and vast swathes of land that belong to one owner, who can do what they want on that land. If the land belongs to you, you can remove the mirrors. I imagine that the cam view is better than the mirrors, even if you’re doing off-roading in one of your off-road…

if I’m driving and the kids are playing that’s OK in my book. I know what I’m doing so stop it.

““Celebrating your difference as an EV is very important to some people as they project their choices out to the world,” Snyder said. “These days you have to scream.”” He’s wrong, that was only valid during the Prius age.

nah, have you tried to keep a certain line when accelerating and having the tyres already feel like fluff at that speed? it’s quite hard to keep the car in the line. With all the aero Blackmagic of RB I can imagine that the aero of the Mercedes was quite disturbed - the left wheel was having less grip so understeer.…
