1st Gear: Time to come up with a new crossover and slap the Skyline GTR name on it.

Ride “sharing” apps are just taxi cabs companies. They operate on the same premise and provide the same service.

Are ride-sharing companies all going to screw themselves out of business and we’ll all go back to cabs

P.s. Not a Tesla nut and don’t own a Tesla, but I do agree with Musk that the Model S should be given a golf clap here for getting totalled into a fire truck and the driver walks away with an ankle injury. That’s some good safety results.

Have you ever read news reporting on a subject that you know REALLY well? It makes you grind your teeth. Ask any expert, anywhere, how they feel when they read a news article on something they are an expert in.

The NTSB wants to know how they react to a collision and how a battery affects the behaviour of emergency responders and rescue crews so that they can suggest new technologies or response guidelines to keep everybody safe at a crash scene.

That video is four years old and yes, we absolutely would have.

What have other automakers done to avoid distracted driving, etc? Remember when GM knew about faulty ignition switches for a decade and 120 people were killed by them?

Cuz that’s what gets clicks. Duh, bro.

Because...ad sales.

Sure, it would be irresponsible not to be critical of a new technology... but you also have to be careful in this age of “trending news” and easily-shared information.

This kind of coverage, however “responsible” it might be, tends to bias the less-informed folks. And the less-informed folks are the majority of folks,…

The problem is disproportionate coverage that creates the incorrect impression that semi-autonomous vehicles—and in particular Teslas—are inherently dangerous in and of themselves.

It would be malpractice not to cover this transition.

those are good things. Blowing up the Iran deal? Probably not

You have to differentiate between best-selling and most-profitable. It’s only been in the last 15 years that trucks have truly become large luxury vehicles with high profit margins. Fleet sales are not very profitable. What has happened to trucks is they have essentially become premium status symbols, much like a BMW…

“The ‘92 Civic VX, with its lean-burn, was illegal in California (ironically, considering how it was one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the US at the time), so there was a version made for the California market.”

Right now, it is mostly *more* convenient to charge your electric car — as most people just plug in at their home overnight.

Yes, that would be great. I disagree with the premise, though, that electric adoption depends on high gas prices and charging being made *as* easy as gassing up. Right now, it is mostly *more* convenient to charge your electric car — as most people just plug in at their home overnight. Given that, if the…

1st Gear: Again... no sympathy. Most automakers backed the Republicans in the last election... so fuck ‘em.

I think it’s absolutely gorgeous.
