The real trick is to have no roads. The only way in and out is the company train.

This is completely unnecessary. 

Why can’t they mind their own fucking business and just stay where they want to be?

Ah yes... The mysterious “They” who, led by Souros, Gates and other billionaires, are going to take over the world and kill 90% of the population all the while somehow maintaining product and consumption levels to continue making their billions.

Yes, we need to think of the real victims here - the family who has to deal with this chud. Forcing them to spend more hours per day with him is tantamount to a war crime. 

I, on the other hand, am more interested when I hear something described as “socialist,” because that means it’s good for people. Crazy “socialist” concepts including housing the homeless, affordable and effective public transit, affordable housing with rent controls, universal healthcare, parental leave, having more…

You guys should challenge Jason Torchinsky to a 0-25mph drag race with an Ioniq 5 in eco mode vs. the Changli.

Ah yes, because being an enthusiast classically means ignoring all the negatives about the thing you enjoy. 

Also see “woke.”

“Making traffic much less stupid” sounds like a situation where everyone wins. Less emissions, less people driving who don’t want to drive, less congestion, ideally less underskilled drivers.

No one here is saying we need to get rid of all cars. Get rid of commuting for a large chunk of the population and driving will be a lot more enjoyable. The best thing that we can do for car enthusiasts is to make the car less mandatory.

on top of that when people have true alternatives to driving the gov. can also be much stricter about educating their drivers since people can still participate in society without a car, basically making traffic much less stupid

It seems that the bigger problem is the lag.

This is an easy one: rollover safety standards and the cave-like cabin they create. In other words, I’d pay for excellent outward visibility (lower beltline, thinner pillars, more glass area) and take on the risk of possible more injury in a crash. Good data in appendix A, here: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Pub…

My e90 and e53 both did that and I really liked it when parking against a curb. It sucked for any other situation. I could turn it off by switching my mirror adjuster selector to the right (passenger side). I believe it’s the same for all BMW’s with that feature.

I’ll choose one that might not get mentioned: always-illuminated gauges.

I would love that feature! Makes sense to avoid curbs when parallel parking, but in suburbia I suppose you wouldn’t need it.

Hey, driving on the roads is more than 0-60 times and merging into traffic. The Ioniq’s 0-60 performance in eco when considered as a whole is fine, but that’s not the whole story. I, and Ioniq 5 owners have noticed the severe lack of urgency from when the pedal is pressed, and acceleration from 0 to around 15-20 MPH.…

I agree that it’s not “Dangerously Slow” lol. That’s just pure hyperbolic nonsense, but I do have to say that if you drove the car before and it behaved a certain way, and a software update drastically changed the way it behaved, then it could cause issues or accident because the same car behaves in a drastically…

Well a 0-40mph time in the 7 second range and a 0-60 time in the 10-11 second range is roughly the performance of the 1st gen Prius, 1987 Honda Civic Wagovan I owned and the 1991 Ford Escort I owned.
