THIS. Who makes the call in such obvious situations? After 60 minutes, it’s obvious, but to wait 4 hours later?! Good lord

If this is the case - why not cancel the flight within 60 minutes of realizing that the temperature will not be dropping any time soon? Weather reports are real time, unbelievable.

?? the hell, was he on drugs?

I don’t know about ecological impact, but economical is a big YES for me. I generally trade-up my cars every 5 to 6 years because I like new cars and I can afford it. Living in CA, I save on gasoline. My EVs all have single pedal, so I save on brake maintenance and replacement. No oil changes and minimal fluid…

Porsche, I believe is in the top 2.

Grammar police here, when Jalopnik said, “Tesla announcing it had started production of its Cybertruck about two years behind schedule,” this was very confusing because I originally thought you meant (1) Tesla announced it was two years behind schedule, but then maybe you meant (2) Tesla’s announcement is two years…

I stand corrected. CHEAP F*#! BASTARDS!

my last 3 major flight delays have all been caused by last minute staffing shortages (missing pilots or crew) because airlines are overworking them. It’s no longer about pay but rather not enough people to cover all the flights - it’s easier to buy more planes but you can’t just add 50 pilots from thin air.

Neutral: I have zero loyalty to any brand but rather to specific products, like my 2017 Honda Accord or 2015 Sportwagen TDI or 2001 Miata. Brands change over time, ownership and leadership change (Lambo is owned by VW), designers come and go (Bangle butt era BMWs anybody?). I had no interest in owning a Hyundai, but…

Wait, “best ever made”? I thought it’s been conclusively proven that it’s the Civic Type R

1st Gear: licensing is probably the only way Lucid will be profitable in the foreseeable future - you can’t make money selling low volume expensive cars unless you’re Ferrari. Even Porsche had to throw in the towel and relented, producing the Boxster then Cayenne. 

Since it’s obvious that Rush was both impatient and cheap, all of your suggestions sound time consuming and more expensive than he was willing to absorb - clearly a case of being penny foolish. But then again self-made billionaires have a tendency to believe in their own infallibility.

Remember when your parents saw you doing something stupid and said, “So if all your friends jumped off a cliff, ...” is basically what VW did. It’s as if these companies replaced their entire human interaction division with 9 year olds who like shiny things. One of my favorite cars ever was my stickshift tornado red Sp…

My only question: does Andreas get to keep the oil covered pennies so that he can start website to sell each penny framed with a copy of the “F—K YOU!” note. For $20 plus shipping, he can make a pretty penny!

1st Gear: Government should also aggressively loan to GM and Tesla, $9 billion each, and may the best technology win. If the USA wants to catch up to China as an EV power, it starts with the battery supply chain. Also, offer $9 billion grant for solid state battery research, etc. It pains me that America does not act…

Nissan is circling the drain as a business - aimless leadership, meh products and its best car, the Z, is in production hell.

SAAB is currently owned by China’s Evergrande group but Saab AB, the Swedish aerospace company that owns the Saab brand, revoked all rights to use the “SAAB” name for branding purposes (yay Saab AB!). I think it’s just a matter of time before Saab is back...

If they can run a line for manufacturing in South Carolina for that juicy $7,500 credit - this will sell like hotcakes. I’m thinking the dual motor is $45,000 MSRP which would make the hot hatch version only $37,500 - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 0-60 in 3.4s for $37,500 sub-compact is crazy fun!

$35K and you expect a great stereo? COME ON!
