1st Gear/Neutral: This is not an an either/or situation. First it needs to be confirmed that there was patent infringement. From there, blocking imports is only the most drastic step. Another option would be for SK to pay money to LG to license the relevant IP.

I’d prefer Destroyer.

Motherfucker, PLEASE. The book isn’t anti-autonomous cars at all. I fucking WISH writing anti-Tesla articles made one tiny bit of difference on book sales. It doesn’t. And I’m not anti-Tesla. But if this is your reaction to this story, perhaps you should seek out your clergyperson or a trusted relative. Maybe a…

I’m a happy Tesla owner and my car hasn’t had any issues in 10k miles of ownership. However. If this happens to me, any “brand loyalty” goes out the window. If you wanna make your car dependent on a single screen for basically every function including the speedometer, you better fucking make sure that screen works.

The Golf gets a new generation, with a manual transmission on the top spec and performance-oriented electrification, while the slow, somehow even more pedestrian stuff is reserved for a new brand that can take more risks without actively _losing_ as many customers if it flops on sale alongside the alternate Golf…

But I want the ID.3 sedan!! The U.S. isn’t getting any of the cool new EVs because all Americans are buying are SU-fricking-Vs. Americans are largely idiots.

They should! When the Black Panthers were publicly carrying guns in the late 60s in California it was Governor Ronald Reagan, Republicans, and the NRA who all supported a law banning open carry. Perhaps if the Squad joins these QAnon psychos we might get some actual gun control laws.

Aaron Burr is snorting “COPYCATS” from the grave.

At some point in the past year or two, Ezra Klein interviewed a person on his podcast whose area scholarship dealt with congressional history, and more specifically (at least at the time of that interview) the use of violence or threats of violence between congresspersons as a political tool. Apparently it was not…

So, you might say he went on a “Kessel run”?

I think this is both true and also not really a truth Jezebel wants to grapple with. The story of the 2018 mid-terms was NOT “The Squad”, all of whom won in D+30 districts.

All electric C30 please!!

It’s a Volvo SEA, a Lotus SEA, a Polestar SEA, and Geely SEA, yeah see

UtZ Cheese Balls are the best! Especially in the giant barrel-shaped tub 

I blame the 1994 Dodge Ram for this.

2nd Gear- I keep looking at Audis and VWs for my next car. Then I think about Dieselgate.  I’m not getting either for a long time.

I’m calling it: the next models from Lucid will be the Earth (SUV), Wind (sportscar), and Fire (pickup).

The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund invested $1.3 billion for 50% of the company. That gave Lucid the money need to tool up for production.

Bradley, I applaud the complimentary Art Deco / French / DS aesthetic reference.  You bringing that to light spawned a bit of an, “Oh, that’s it!” moment for me, and I thank you!

The exterior has a Citroen-ish quality to it.  I like it.
