Drive a 30 year old car and then drive a brand new car, after that, try to tell me there’s been no meaningful improvement. I’ve owned 7 cars all built before the year 2000, and a few built during the 80's.

I agree it will be difficult to break into market share, but Canoo is offering something different. We might see that people want that something different as opposed to a major manufacturer telling us how it should be.

Either you are a troll or you don’t realize most hydrogen on earth is not in it’s elemental molecular form. Commercial bulk hydrogen must be separated from either a hydrocarbon (usually natural gas via SMR) or water (via electrolysis, and nowhere near as common). SMR produces a lot of CO with smaller amounts of CO2.…

Since you now have a book selling on Amazon ripping into autonomous cars, is it your financial goal to put out an anti-Tesla article every day?

Sounds like a story some angry rural guy made up in his head

I my area, Wrangler drivers are among the fastest drivers on the road. I’ve never understood why considering the lackluster engine and gigantic mud tires. With this extra power, I doubt these owners will have the same sense of responsibility.

I’m sure these will sell like hot cakes, but I can’t imagine the driving experience in the Wrangler is improved by adding more weight and this much power. I’ll cautiously be giving these a wide berth when I see them out on the street.

As a lifelong democrat, give it a rest. Nobody gives a shit about your half-baked political snark posts.

1. Cruising is a big money business. The industry lost 164k jobs and still bleeding money like crazy (the ships still need to be maintained to be seaworthy) They need revenue to survive.

Automatics have also improved drastically. Even the lower-end and normal ones are mostly just meh instead of terrible, but as someone frequently driven to rage by “manual mode” in automatics the ZF 8HP in the F-type (and presumably other applications) is genuinely good. Smooth and responsive in automatic mode, but…

Automatic gearboxes. I used to hate them, they robbed me of control and there was no sense of fun when driving one. They just sort of went and arrived without any much input. Now I’m older and grouchier, and my knee is kinda going as is my hip [thank you, young me for all that hard living] and frankly I just kinda…

Bad take, bud. That’s a bummer if it doesn’t work for you, but no need to shit on Ford for a quality engineering effort here. 126 miles of range, with fast recharging, DOES meet the needs of their user base. It’s a big, heavy vehicle. Making the range twice as far would require one hell of a battery, that would add…

Dodge was pretty crap back then. The styling and interior of the new dodge/jeep cars and trucks/suv’s is great. It would be a contender in the vast wagon options of 2020.

It’s SO sad, probably the biggest tragedy ever, that there was no 2011+ LX wagon. The new interior, the ZF8, the Pentastar... it could truly have been one of the all time great wagons. Knife through the heart!

That has never been true.

It’s called the soft-roader. There are plenty of vehicles that claim some form of off-road capability, but reach their peak beyond a large mud puddle. What a low-range transfer case does is something that can be imitated by fancy electronics and torque converter tuning, but cannot be replaced. But it’s not the same. I…

Yeah, it’s hard to push a market farther than it’s willing to go (if much at all) which is why such things are usually pushed via wealth transfer, a.k.a. subsidies.

I feel like they just keep him around to get roasted.

Agreed. No sense spending time and resources on a vehicle that is primarily used for towing and hauling; which would be a huge hit to range. The technology isn’t there yet.

Agreed. It was yet another half-baked poor take by Shilling.
