The thing with Brawn is that they weren’t expected to be any good at the beginning of the season. To be a champion team for multiple years previous, for your cars and their drivers to hit a wall mid way through the season is something new.

I’ve never seen a team just fall apart as quick as RBR.  I think Max will still win the drivers championship but it’s getting uncomfortably close.  I don’t Lando has driven well enough to win the WC but this second half of the season isn’t great for Max.

We’d all love to work on the next-gen Tesla Roadster, it’s super fun, and we are working on it, but it has to come behind the things that have a more serious impact on the good of the world.

With the exception of a taller Outback and H2, the other two choices are probably lower than their current Outback. Used Ford F150 is probably the right choice here.

How many would turn their noses up at having to drive a Camry?

Well, if you look at my original post, I quoted a passage not really talking about local emissions but that this will somehow mitigate the global climate crisis.

However, most of the commercial boats which do the majority of transportation on the canals have already been converted to electric. This was aimed at private…

As the frequency and intensity of natural disasters continues to increase due to human-caused climate change, drastic measures like Amsterdam’s zero-emission waterway regulations make more and more sense. As unfortunate as it is to know this may be the last time we will see a gaggle of adorable Amphicars putting…

Too high of a price to take a gamble on. This things can be a bit nightmarish once things go south. I remember when these came out people had issues keeping stock examples running right.

Probably better off finding a Subaru Legacy GT or spec. B of the same vintage.  They drive better and way more aftermarket support.

Perez isn’t an all-time great talent driver like Max Verstappen clearly is. 

Not really.

The funny thing is that these people had chargers at home. Still to inconvenient for them. 

These prices make the Lucid Air a great used buy, especially considering what you’d pay for a new one. This also begs the question of what exactly is going on with these cars? Many of these used EVs — not just Lucid — are showing up with such low miles it shows that the owners didn’t have them long.

The last couple generations of Subaru Legacy. They’re basically just lowered Outback/CUVs. Which makes it extraordinarily tall for a sedan. However, not sure I would say they’re small but someone suggested an Outlander.

Rumours have it that we will be seeing a +400hp Toyota MR2 for 2026.

No idea about other countries, I have only rented out of the country a couple of times and never at an airport, but I would be shocked if it is any different. 

Thanks for point that out. It’s on their website as well:

Mark Horning pointed out that Hertz has their Tesla’s locked to chill mode.

Really?

They are more than a few.

The Chevy Captiva was a rental only car model.

There are ton of examples of rental car companies buying a last generation model to their spec, while a new version is already out(Malibu, Impala, Ram 1500 etc.)

Define “major airport”. A lot of international airports(YYZ, LHR, NRT, DXB, SIN etc), I have been too, don’t have gas stations for rental companies on property but will have gas stations on the perimeter roads surrounding the airport.

If that really was the case, I’m sure Hertz could have got Telsa to map the accelerator different for their fleet of cars. It’s not like we haven’t seen rental car specials in the past.  Not sure how true that anecdote is.
