Mini, BMW and Dodge are more reliable than Honda? Let me laugh a little

Wants: Weird, unique, preferably European

ND - The math doesn’t work. I can buy a new base model for under $20k (after tax credits). If this were offered by a qualified dealer, it might qualify for the used EV credit. But it’s not.

Thank you for actual technical talk instead of Elon bad or Elon good.

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

Did I actually miss the part where you are describing the way this car drive ?!? (beside one sentence). Not trying to be mean but this article is like reading a spec sheet, I did not really learn anything I already knew.

Everyone knows the results already.

Can they do a study on small dicks and bro trucks next? 

As opposed to a Tesla, where it’s a win if the steering wheel/wheel/sunroof stays on?

They should have let it go for the 17k on BaT. That’s probably the best chance at someone with NFG-money sale that they’re going to get.

By the way, I believe that the Fox Body Mustang and its SN95 offspring are the only ones in the model’s history to wear the Ford Blue Oval badge. All prior versions used the FORD block letter badge and every one since (including the electric five-door Mustang-in-name-only) has used Mustang badging solely.

You can TASTE the contempt. I love it.

It was about 48 minutes after moving from NYC to the tree lined streets of suburban New Jersey that we realized one car isn’t going to be enough (even when it’s a most excellent Volvo V60 Polestar) and we need a second one.

Under $20k but has to be a prestige marque, woe-is-me-my-finances-are-such-a-problem, and oh by the way, my au pair will need to fit in my budget luxury SUV.

Hmm, this concept of offering what someone deserves instead of what they requested intrigues me. If he rejects a Lexus because it’s just a fancy Toyota and he can’t stand the idea of his family and their au pair sitting in something that close to being common, then I would fully agree that he deserves something that

if you cant play in the rain is it even a sport?

Or revert back to stock car bodies? I mean, driving at 150mph in heated/ventilated leather seats listening to AC/DC would be much nicer....

which could bring an end to rain delays at some of its fastest circuits.”

The “F1-type” car looks like a Can-Am 2.0 car to me, which means it’s a sports car (note the covered wheels) based on an F-5000 car, which is conceptually an F-1 car with a 5.0l V8.  So in a round-about way, yes, it is an F1-type car.
