My own take on this, albeit in 1/16 scale:

Sorry. Asking which SUV is the best if you enjoy driving is like asking which disease is the best. Still don’t want one.

That’s easy- I’ll take any EV that will go for 400 miles and can be recharged at any filling station in about 5 minutes, without needing to download another app to know where the charger is that works with my car. Because that’s what my decade-old Volvo can do right now...

Not sure why it would be a surprise that you have no gas in the tank in the morning. Do thieves syphon your tank at night? Side note. A colleague was very late for a meeting last week because she didn’t have enough electricity in her EV, so had to take her husband’s car. So apparently it is also a surprise in the…

“Y-splitter”” appropriate load rating” “NEMA adapter from Tesla” “outlet plugs right into their mobile charger”

It took just 10 years (or so) for cars to replace horses. They were better in every respect except initial cost. A Ford Model T sold for $850 in 1908 but $260 in 1916. When the cost of a car came down it was all over for the horse-drawn crowd. The Tesla Model S has been around for 10 years, but the ICE is still…

No kidding; most of my close relatives went extinct!

But I just don’t want to have to do that. I don’t have to go to an app to find a gas station that will work for the car I am considering. Why is this so hard to understand?

All of this. I don’t want yet another fucking app, I don’t want to worry about getting more electricity from some obscure place.

I mean c’mon-most of the time it won’t catch fire. Don’t be a luddite.

“Check out plugshare - set plugs to CCS (or Tesla)“  WTF? What if I just want to, you know, drive my car? I’m glad you enjoy your hobby, but I have other things to do with my day.

This comment erases any doubt that EVs are still a hobby for rich people. I don’t wanna know any of this; electrical outlets are not my area of interest.

I know this is supposed to be a “happy” story about helping the planet with scienece, but then in the first paragraph there’s this: “A mining company in Australia...” Any story that starts like this isn’t about what’s good for the planet.

1) Reserve 1 seat for some lucky race fan, who would be chosen by a raffle of ticket holders.

It’s hard to really see anything “progressive” about the annual SI swimsuit edition, no matter who poses. The sexism is baked-in; having a year off from super-skinny doesn’t undo the decades of body-image crap this magazine has produced. 

Fact: Nearly 83% of all Fiat X-19s are still on the road! (source: the internet)

Yet another Alfa story that can’t be written without the “P” word. Officially my Volvo is painted “passion red”, and I’m surprised Alfa doesn’t already own the copyright. Still, it’s a rare sunny warm day here, so NP.

Until COVID and Netflix conspired to ruin everything, I went pretty regularly to Montreal, always staying in dive hotels and eating on the cheap. With 4 north American races an Netflix stumbling, F1 will overplay its hand and the prices will hopefully come back to earth. In the meantime I’ll see you at Road America!

The (four wheel) Morgan is a brilliant answer.

The boat show wasn’t much of a thing on the TV broadcast; I’ll take your word for it. Contemporary F1 TV production favors tight shots of cars surrounded by concrete barriers and catch fences, so all races kind of look alike on the small screen anyway. The big joy of attending races in-person is context: you get to…
