Most people don’t go on 200+ mile road trips on the coldest days of the year

If only there had been an electric car at a very competitive price that was designed specifically to cover every use case, including the fact that people make short trips most of the time and that it’s actually more efficient to burn fuel on really cold days.

Your anecdote aligns with their Tesla cold weather performance graph almost perfectly. 40% drop in range.

Bisected Somewhat in a Manner Which Could Be Construed to be Equal to That Which Would Occur if One Divided the Capacity of its Storage By Two.

Shut up you stupid moose jockey. We have a single state with more people than your entire syrup loving country. Financial change is just a smidge slower to take hold across a country of 350 million people. Go sit quietly in a Tim Horton’s before we invade you over tar sands.

Let's see, check my receipts or move to Canada. Thanks for the practical alternative...

There are clearly two camps in this comment section. Group 1 would prefer everyone wear hazmat suits in public. Group 2 enjoys licking the underside of their shoes after standing at a urinal. 

These articles are so irritating (and yet I clicked another one!).  We all touch millions of germs every day!  There is fecal matter ALL AROUND US!  It’s fine.  Everything’s fine.  

Aren’t we supposed to be exposed to germs in some fashion or another? This is why the human race is full of weak little sissy folk who wander around with hand sanitizers, baby wipes and sprays and that bullshit. It’s really fucking pathetic. So what that you shared a blanket with a stranger... big fucking deal. Tired

I love that Mrs. Cumsock had an easy out but chose to hyphenate. It shows character.

You really have to be careful with high-protein diets, since they may cause issues with the kidneys and the liver. Carbs are not bad, neither are some grains. The key is a balanced diet for the type of dog. When I adopted my hound-mix, he was 7 lbs overweight and had allergies. I put him on a restricted home-based

I’ll grant arguability on “talent,” but “likability?” Come on now.

I recently made the switch and I can confirm it is the only thing I miss on a daily basis. Though, I expected that. 

Hot take: chicken wings are actually terrible, and everyone who likes them is a pawn of the poultry industry’s attempt to market the boniest, gnarliest, hardest to eat part of the chicken as a (weirdly expensive) bite-sized party food.

My IDI 7.3 starts right up, does everything I want, runs on waste oil, waste vegatable oil, diesel, kerosene,fuel oil dosent care. Has no Injector driver module, PCM or $10,000 CP4 fuel system to fail. It's in an F-350 4x4 I paid $1200.00 for. I like common rail diesels also, but for me, IDI ftw.

They had their pluses. Generally less finicky and longer-lived. But not much power. I’ve owned a five-cylinder non-turbo Mercedes diesel, various Peugeot turbo and non-turbo diesels, and a VW TDI. The TDI is awesome, but costs a lot more to maintain than the old chuggers, and has lots more to go expensively wrong.

Yeah but you could run those bad boys on anything. Used to run homemade bio through my roommates 1979 rabbit.

I actually think wings are annoying.  The one part is like a mini drumstick, and the other tip part hardly has any meat on it.  I much prefer strips or whatever.

Just moved back to my rural hometown from Seattle, and in two weeks I’ve needed a pickup more times than I did the whole two years in the city. Got lucky and was gifted a ‘94 1500 though.
