Sounds like this isn’t about hanging a for sale sign.

A few years ago when the TNG platform came out, I rented one while my 2013 Fusion was in the shop. The Camry was brand new, I was the first renter, and I was surprised by how disappointed I was by the noise and ride. When I got my Fusion back a few days later I was amazed that even with 85K miles on it, it rode

As the owner of a 2022 Camry XSE w/ AWD, I love the looks and hybridization of the 2025 MY Camrys. However, despite having a fantastic ride, I doubt I will ever buy another Toyota product unless/until they fix some very frustrating, but easily fixable, issues:

I find few things more satisfying than when “those” types try to argue me that my EV is not better for the environment than their gas car, and me telling them I don’t care about the environment, I bought my car because it can haul a dresser and still rip a 0-60 in under 3s. And it costs me pennies per mile to drive.

I’ve never heard of anyone griping about tire pollution until it came time to argue against EVs.

The answer is “Yes, EVs produce lower carbon emissions than gas in any realistic scenario.” The only reason people in big lifted pickup trucks coal-rolling EVs are asking is because suddenly they care oh so much about the environment?

You’re never going to get an objective answer for a sum total of “how bad” something is. Its not a quantifiable figure. You can quantify how much of many particular many “evils” something is, but you can’t mix and match “evils” and sum them together to get an objective figure. Especially since a lot of what you said

environmental/econonic/social impact of rolling blackouts due to insufficient power to charge vehicles

These numbers also fail to include emissions released during either ICE car or EV shipping, production, and manufacturing, so real-world impact varies based on a variety of factors.

I dont care if the total emissions dont currently measure less than overall ICE cars.  They decrease my local emissions and I can leave the house every day with a fully charged car.  Never having to go to a gas station again is an incredible feeling.  

I honestly want to know

If you think articles and videos like this are going to settle the argument, read a few of the comments here.

Defying orders from immoral, corrupt, compromised, incompetent, or inept superiors was not only fertile ground for some of the best Star Trek material, but it also happened under Roddenberry’s watch. In TOS, Kirk retook command of the Enterprise in The Deadly Years after he was relieved of duty because the acting

The cover of Life Is A Highway by Rascal Flatts is terrible, and referring it to as “iconic” is truly dumb.

Any guesses as to what website it will pull up when scanned in 20 years?

This is the experience of being in any kind of development role.

It is gotta suck being a Tesla engineer. You pour your heart and soul into designing a project, and you have Elon’s deranged voice in your ear 24/7 constantly changing it, and you finally manage to get something onto the production line, your baby that you worked so damn hard on, and, in some ways, achieved the

Get a grip. BMW turn signal engineers manage to keep it together. Be more like them. 

I just got a set of CC2 tires about 6 months ago and I’ve been very happy with them. Safety was absolutely #1, but one of the other key features was low noise. Even with this new review, I’m still not sure I’d go with the Continentals.

a 3 year old tire is no longer on top?!?!
