The car will know what you want and do it for you, including indicating/turn-signals.” Sure, buddy. Whatever you say.

Futurama made a good point about this: when we name these universes, we do so from our own perspective. When the Planet Express crew traveled to another universe, they argued with their counterparts there whose universe was “Universe 1" vs. “Universe 2" or “Universe A/B” because, understandably, you start counting…

Residents in the area say people routinely speed on local streets. Some said that it was just a matter of time before something like this happened.

A little disappointed in us all. Other than the Morgan, these cars are just what you’d see at the parking lot at the town’s “nice” mall.

Also worth noting, at only 6'5" I barely fit in a stock GTI, at least any of them with the dang sunroof that robs you of what feels like 2" of headroom. Even then, windshield angle/low roof makes it hard to see traffic lights sometimes.

Oh no doubt - Kias of the last 5 years have looked more like Audis than most Audis (probably because they hired away the old Audi head of design) but the K5 came out 2 years before the EQS did

I think the grade thing was a coincidence here. This is more about how well reinforced the street underneath is. There might be large drainage pipes or retaining walls that can’t support as much weight as compacted soil can.

It’s already well-established that heavier vehicles do more damage to roads than lighter ones, so it only makes sense for them to pay extra for the privilege of driving, say, a GMC Hummer EV.

I miss how cars used to have great visibility and didn’t feel like you were sunk into a bathtub with a steering wheel. I get that a lot of it is bigger crash and rollover protection, but the Honda Fit is the only car I can think of in the last 15 years that met those requirements but still gave you 90s levels of light/…

“The S-Class has maintained good loyalty because it’s aspirational. An EQS is not something that most people aspire to own.”

As the owner of a CRZ, the only way I’d go buy a new Honda is a hybrid Civic. All the othe hybrids, especially the Accord, are way too freaking big. The lack of the auto in the Si has kept me away.

1st:

And as the article says, that isn’t working. These OEMs have built EVs for people who don’t want them and killed off the EVs desired by the people who do.

The GMC version of the SUV is unique in that respect, the Chevy Tahoe doesn’t take nearly as long to sell. Then again, the Yukon is more of a luxury vehicle than the Tahoe, and the Yukon’s high luxury corresponds to a higher price

Highway onramps are for accelerating up to highway speeds.

Perhaps if they were making electric vehicles folks like you and I could afford, there wouldn’t be such an issue.

What do you think is causing all the interference?

TBH if it’s already that cold outside, I’m probably wearing gloves to make it easier to clear the windows, so that’s why I’ve never used the heated wheel.

I’ve driven across the Rockies, Appalachia, and throughout Pennsylvania, but not that often. I’m not riding the brake - I usually just coast downhill until I get to a curve that I can’t take at speed, and will brake. That said, these days, regen braking in hybrids slows me down plenty that I barely need the brakes…

I’ll use paddles for that, I meant I never need to hold a gear for a long enough time to justify another slot on the shifter.
