Heating the interior of a car using resistive electric heating is VERY expensive, whereas heating just the occupant(s) through the seat surface is much less of a power draw. EVs without heated seats (or with owners that would rather not use them) see massive drops in range during colder months; as much as 40% from

Standard on the base model Rav4 which starts at $26K...

The colors all suck except for Grabber Blue, which is GT-only. After fiddling with the configurator for all four trims, the Mach E is a no-go for me. It’s too expensive, I have to pay for a bunch of crap that I don’t want to get the larger battery, and heated seats aren’t even standard, which is critical for an EV in

Unemployed man in Manhattan buys a$50k Jeep pickup for his startup? That is just so goddam stupid. A $7k used Odyssey would have been an infinitely better choice for a catering company. Plus you can live in it once you can’t afford your $6k a month apartment and $500 a month parking spot.

The answer is obviously a rotating shitter chamber that duplicates gravity through centrifugal force. It would have to be mounted outboard of the ISS or any similar set-up like an external disc affair, and after entering through an airlock while the thing is static you’d sit on the throne and it would start to rotate

Hey, at least they got rid of the side airbags before someone got hurt!

Your Photoshop did a weird thing where it left on a bunch of extra doors. Here you go:

A 550hp 3-speed?... Are the shift points at 70 & 140 mph?

I remember when this happened:

Same. I think I created my account in like 2010 or something. I remember a pre-Doug Demuro Jalopnik. I never got the Gold Membership though.

Lol, this cracked me up. I'd give more than one star if I could.

Look, I’m all for fancy tech and stuff, but this is a pickup truck, not a Rolls Royce. Why in the hell does the folding shifter mechanism need to be MOTORIZED? It never even crossed my mind that it would be motorized, rather than just some different button you pressed to unlatch it and fold it down with your hand.
