An “insurance problem” quickly becomes an “owner problem”. It will be interesting to see what the commercially available insurance premiums are. Remember, the “insurance” provided by Tesla for its other vehicles has proven to be a nightmare for the owners.

Thus, it will become a disposable ($70,000 plus) vehicle if there is meaningful damage

Do you mean the sub-micron tolerances on the quarter-inch panel gaps?

This car is beautiful and is astonishingly similar to the famous Raymond Lowey 1953 Studebaker Commander Starlight coupe. Note especially the shape of the roof and windows, the front and rear fenders and the crease line down the side. I have long considered the 1953 Starlight coupe to be the most beautiful…

So you rub out/polish adjacent panels to make them look like the new panel.

How do you restore its like-new appearance after the body panel is creased and severely scraped. On a conventional vehicle you would fill the crease and scratches, sand and prime the repair and then paint the panel to make it look substantially like new.

Contrary to the last sentence, Airbus does not make any version of the 787; that is a Boeing airplane, and there is no such plane as a “787-800neo”. Please proofread your articles before publishing.

No - ALL planes land at the end of every flight, the only questions being where and in what condition

“[I]t takes a degree nowadays to operate the pump.” Yes, the questions you posed would definitely be intellectually challenging to the average driver of today.

The Senators are NOT the problem; it is the MAGA Morons in the House.

It may be like it was when new, but the concrete is so bumpy it blurs your vision.

And also why the purely electric Porsche Taycan has a “Turbo” model.

But, surely the Trump NFT’s are truly valuable.

But virtually all of those cracks in steel chassis are reparable. Cracked or bent aluminum castings are not.

Those EV’s are so much fun to drive in areas that sometimes flood. You get your own fireworks show at no additional cost.

Sticking the gas nozzle into your trunk to fill (possibly overfill) the tank? What could possibly go wrong?

Remember that the Porsche 914 was created to be, and was sold in Europe as, a Volkswagen, somewhat like a latter day Karman Ghia.  In the U.S. buyers would not pay its price point for a Volkswagen-branded car, so it was sold as a Porsche.

Some of us who live in hurricane evacuation areas, which can mean many hours on the road, think that a PHEV may be the closest we get to a BEV. You don’t want to run out of energy on an interstate while trying to get away from a hurricane.

It is likely hidden under the bodywork. The rule did not require that it be useable during a race, only that it was there in the car.

Can Am was killed by the all-conquering Sunoco Porsche 917-30, with a 1200+ horsepower, turbocharged, 12-cylinder engine that no one else could match. If Can Am were revived, someone would spend silly amounts of money to do the same.
