“The base Ioniq 6, the SE, puts out 149 horsepower to rear-motor rear-wheel drive, for 240 miles of range on standard 18-inch wheels. For those who want a few extra miles of range, a few extra thousand dollars (starting at $46,615), range is extended to 361 miles”

“yes, our next car is going to charge 0-100% in 2 minutes, have 10000 miles of range while towing two boats, with 9 people onboard, and cost only $20,000. we ask that you give us a deposit of $1000, and it will delver next month.” - Mlon Eusk.

“Hyundai says the Ioniq 6 will hit dealers this spring”

Musk is a south african spoiled brat-wannabe supervillain, bent on poisoning American politics so he can make an extra buck. Fuck him.

They are even cheaper used - you can find model 3s in the mid $20k range now without too many miles on them. The downside is that you can’t separate the brand from its owner anymore - by driving a Tesla, you are outwardly backing Elon whether you intend to or not. I would be truly embarrassed to be seen in one…

But is it worth it if you have to sit in that bland and empty interior with a controls all on the touch screen and that shitty steering wheel controls...

Thank you for that, I’ve been trying to understand how plug-in hybrids where they only gas up once or twice a year don’t have massive problems when the fuel isn’t consumed fast enough. 

I don’t know how the state statute is constructed but there’s often also a standard, besides implied malice, that allows for conduct that was so egregiously dangerous a reasonable person should conclude death is highly likely to result (the “depraved heart indifference” standard).  The law course textbook example of…

A public employee being paid for 15 months of vacation after murdering a child, when his entire job is to enforce said laws, is a whole lot more relevant than some random accountant doing something atrocious.

Its not specific to the left coast, but to fucking cops. When I got my license, the local police force got in shitloads of trouble because a group of people who lived along a straight, wide, and long street got tired of the cops flipping their blue lights on so they could blast through red lights. They sat in front…

I’m not a cop but I would like to know more about this “paid administrative leave,” situation I keep hearing about...

This is broadly correct. Murder, in this instance, requires “implied malice”, which is a hard sell for a jury. They’ve charged him with both that and with manslaughter, a guilty plea on the manslaughter charge with the murder charged dropped is probably most likely.

Yep. One trashed truck, speed verified. One trashed Mercedes, thrown 75 feet by the impact. One dead kid, directly related to the impact. Shrapnel for hundreds of feet.

As a non-legal person, there are two possibilities that come to mind.

The hard part about having real inspections in the US is that we have a car focused infrastructure that makes distances between everything large, pedestrian/cycling an afterthought, public transit woefully neglected, and living without a car nearly impossible anywhere besides the North Atlantic cities. Inspections…

Build it and they will come

hmmm 50K$, or 40K$ for more power...Actually shoot, this is tempting for me

Times have changed since 2008, anything fairly recent is subject to emissions and does have a cat.  For example the current Super Cub: “The outward appearance of the muffler - one of the many elements of the Super Cub’s ‘mythology’ - stays the same while the internals are re-worked; two catalysers were in place on…

Well, in fairness to the designers...

You don’t really need to be able to easily/quickly tell the difference between 5mph and 15mph. If you’re where that kind of speed is appropriate - for example a parking lot - then speed limits don’t really apply (despite whatever signage the business puts up) and what you really…
