99% of cops give the other 1% a bad name.

ACAB is as true as the sun rising.

I really want liquid hydrogen to make sense for all the reasons you listed, but realistically, the savior of the ICE is going to be carbon neutral synthetic fuel made from captured atmospheric carbon. Requires no changes in the technology of the exisiting vehicles, and it’s just as green as hydrogen in that it’s…

So in other words they’re trying lessen the chance of FIERY DEATH!

Dealers are living in a fantasy world right now where they think they can charge over MSRP indefinitely.

I seem to recall the non-plug-in Prius using NiMH batteries instead of lithium. 

Early Adopters have adopted. Everybody else, me included, seems to remain unconvinced a new EV is the solution to our personal transportation needs. I’m also still mildly freaked out, however irrationally, about the fire issues related to lithium ion batteries. I had a lithium ion AA catch fire in a charger on the…

One part of me thinks, “there’s no way 30 different people accidentally drove into this lake!”.

It’s now 22 years past 9/11. It’s time to get rid of all this security nonsense. Millions and millions of travelers have been inconvenienced and not a single terrorist has ever been caught.

The Cybertruck isn’t really serious competition for the F-150 market, not least because it looks like a Ridgeline rendered by a PS2.

Everything about EV's being economical and ecologically sound has been a massive lie.  The batteries die too soon to really save money or polar bears.  That was even before everyone decided to "cut off their nose to spite their face" with expensive PV cells and windmills over traditional Fossil Fuels.

That analogy doesn’t really work, because the marginal cost is trending up not down with EVs. Batteries aren’t experiencing some kind of Moore’s Law of price / capacity. Between 2013 and 2017, Li-ion battery costs really did drop sharply, but the price curve really flattened out, and is now going back up, or at best…

I can’t stand the way Max treats people, but have to credit him with being the most talented driver, by far.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Celebs are public people and make TONS of money by being in the public eye. Don’t want to be in the spotlight? Stay in whatever fancy VIP area you’re at so the media don’t bother you. If you go where the media are, expect them to buttonhole you for a quote. I think she came off like an…

There’s an interesting question there.

This is the answer (or at least, a significant part of it). Newey studied ground effect in university, during the height of its use in motorsports in the 80s, so he’s likely much more familiar with it than most others on the grid.

Because Adrian Newey.

This feels kind of weird saying this, but I think I side with Joe on this one. If my tax dollars are going to be subsidizing something I would prefer my dollars would go towards helping domestic companies and interests. I’m very much not a nationalist dick-head, but given the choice or preference... sure, I’d like my…

There are very few areas where I agree with Joe Manchin. But one of them is that if there’s a maximum tax credit for domestically produced product, and the entire freakin’ Congress has literally codified that, you don’t make exceptions for foreign interests.

I’ll be that guy: stopping on a busy road against traffic control signs and devices to help wildlife is incredibly dangerous. I mean, I absolutely get it, and I would have been sorely tempted to do the same thing. But most of the time it’s not worth the risk to yourself and the other humans on the road. Make that…
