First, we are not close to the upper limit of modern battery technology. There are a good half dozen promising technologies including solid state and what this guy has made: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/tech/new-damage-proof-battery-has-higher-energy-density-wont-explode/

Second, Tesla has rightly realized that…

I’ve always thought that cars that look better in darker colors just mean that their lines leave something to be desired. Lighter cars show the lines.

“2nd Gear: Automakers Still Haven’t Given Up On Hydrogen”

Not seeing it.

Neutral: VW Penalties Fair? Yes to financial damages, and no to jail time. Public humiliation and remorse by individuals responsible, plus termination is enough. America over-criminalizes everything. The reason you put people in prison is because they are a danger to society, and then you also hope that their attitude…

Lint AND a pocket knife??? Easy there Mr. Rockefeller!

This has probably been the most meh Detroit Autoshow ever. There was nothing that was a surprise and nothing earth shattering. Hell, Ford threw a press conference where they didnt debut a damn thing.

a serial hybrid like Nissan’s e-power is a great replacement to pure ICE cars until new battery tech come, with a 72hp ICE engine it can constantly power a 110hp electric motor, and using 1/20 of the battery compared to the Leaf it doesn’t take any space and it’s much lighter

How none of them thought to address this in the actual settlement document is beyond me...

“How none of them thought to address this in the actual settlement document is beyond me, but now, two months after final approval, we’ve got an answer in the form of a hearing transcript.”

So it appears that this “pro” would have connections to easily fence the gold flakes within 48 hours. The crazy ironic thing about foreign thieves is this:

It’s a practice called resale price maintenance. It’s considered in the same boat if unethical practices like collusion. Let’s say you are a banana farmer, and you sell your bananas for 30 cents each. In a normal market your customers will sell those bananas for any amount as low as 30.1 cents each, because that will…

We recently bought the Santa Fe limited AWD and we really love it. Engine is strong and I even towed a Bobcat with it. We were part of the Dieselgate buyback and this is what we picked. Everything feels nice and is comfortable. It doesn’t feel as high of quality as my Jetta (I.E. the hanging on the door test) but it…

Classic with a central-Euro twist that’s going to potter around the beaches of Long Island on weekends?

You’re pointing out the obvious and hurting the feeling of those FiST owners who’s pretending they got an almost-M car ;)

Aaaaand doubling down on that boot strap pulling.

Toyota behind the curve? Not hardly. Toyota is about to make a ballistic entry into the front of the curve - they’re going to come leaping over the guardrail from Low Earth Orbit and shock the hell out of everyone. And you should absolutely not be shocked when it happens.

If 3 people owned it before you, would that make it C-3PO’d?
