How they managed to automate the top but leave the little thing that makes a huge difference to wind noise manual and hidden is beyond me.

More info! Porsche’s people told me there’s an air deflector you can activate manually to solve the wind noise problem, which I wasn’t aware of while driving the car, but could resolve my beefs with noise. (Regardless, I stand by my recommendation re: Do a thorough test drive if you want to buy one.)

the problem is ios user require two hands already in use, one to hold the phone, one to pat themselves on the back for owning an iphone.
ios users have not developed thumb dexterity yet, and some don’t even have thumbs.
no offence to anyone that is digit-impaired. a little offence to ios users

Is it that fucking hard to remember a four-digit password?

Having a loaded gun on you might as well be intending to use it though.

I’ve owned and shot firearms most of my life: you simply don’t forget “it’s there.” Even when CC’ing or OC’ing, you are cognitively aware that it’s there at all times.

You probably shouldn’t be drunk at 4 am in your car.

True, but this is not a traditional ICE marketplace. There are so few EV options that I’ve talked to people who can easily afford a Tesla but don’t like Elon. So the options are a little bizarre: Niro/Kona EV, Bolt, I-Pace, e-tron. Still waiting for EQC and Polestar 2 I believe. If you absolutely must have rear window…

If they can navigate this, it becomes trail rated.

Except both the Y and X can go on long range trips with the Supercharger.

The Etron is still a commuter car.

More like an extra $9k in hand since the Audi still qualifies for the federal tax credit, but I agree with you.

They’re both mid-size, all electric, AWD luxury SUVs. The e-tron is 6" longer than a Y but 5" shorter than the X, because the X seats up to 7, while Y/e-tron are both 5 seaters. The e-tron has 55 cu ft of cargo capacity, the Y has 68, and the X has 88.

So the Audi carries an additional 1300 pounds, goes 100 miles less, and still costs a minimum of $16,000 more than a long range AWD Model Y ($49,990 before rebates), a car almost exactly the same size (Y is 6" shorter but the same width and height).

I suspect this has a lot more to do with Netflix and Amazon deciding that CBS’s Star Trek shows aren’t driving retention and/or new subscriptions as much as they’d hoped.

The Prius didn’t blow up until it’s second gen, which had fairly distinct looks for the time.

56% of Golf GTIs and Golf R are automatics, yet that’s the quintessential hot hatch. 

IMO it’s probably the only car that I can’t tell if its a sedan or hatchback unless I can see the rear hatch seams. It reminds me the Kia Stinger in that way: you don’t have to scroll far in the comments on an article about it to find someone who may already be familiar with the car say “wait, that’s a hatchback?”.

The 5 door Civic that tries so hard to look like a sedan so it doesn’t scare away the sedan-loving American crowd is horrible.

That’s a great idea... except for the price gouging.

Oh look, a perfect excuse to share my favorite AMV of all time:
