Ask Jason Cammisa how well he has enjoyed his VW e-Golf models he has owned. The 2017-2019 models have only 134 hp and 0-60 in 8.5 sec, and yet is one of the best commuters he has ever owned. I agree 0-60 is not everything, which is why the Miata is always a winner in the minds of most enthusiasts. A large portion of…

You can refuel them in less than 5 min. May not be exciting, but you don’t have to wait for charge durations.

Mitsubishi Mirage (78 hp) 12.8 sec

There is a thing called paint.  I believe most hardware stores carry it now.  Might want to look into it.

Amber, great that you are now able to live your best life.  Very happy for you.

Paging Detective Dexter Morgan. I think I have some clients for you.  Please be more ecologically friendly with your waste than they were.

Just remember their only goal is to electrify transportation. It has never been about money, or clout, or anything else.

Toyota is on the bleeding edge of technology. How is the hydrogen fuel cell technology working out for all those Mirai owners?

It’s easy to sell hybrids when you replace some of your ICE vehicles and only offer them in hybrid form (not a bad thing in my mind and Toyota definitely makes the best hybrid systems in the world). Also easy when you don’t make a compelling BEV (definitely a bad thing). The tide may be high for Toyota now, but it…

Honestly, seems like a reasonable price given its prior ownership. There can only be one NSX owned and driven by one of the most crucial sources of its development.

Are you forgetting the entire Ford ownership era (especially the entry and mid models)?

I saw just under 4 minutes of totality with minimal cloud cover in Sidney, OH. Absolutely amazing experience that I believe everyone should have in their lifetime. The difference between 99% and 100% cannot be overstated. Can’t wait for the next one to hit the US in 21 years (yes, I know there is a brief one that will…

I respect that opinion, but even if you are fully supporting good hybrid design and execution doesn’t excuse building an EV that just downright sucks.

1st Gear: Yeah, no kidding.  Toyota makes a plethora of HEV and PHEV vehicles and just one EV, which is among the worst products on the market.  It is not an indication of the market as a whole, but is the result of the decisions Toyota has made.  It was a conscious choice by a luddite company that should have had a…

It’s stretching the budget a little bit, but what about a used Lucid Air? There are some around the country asking $60k, but that may be able to come down some with some shrewd negotiation.  It has tons of range so charging sessions would likely be rare, even for long stretches.  Running cost would be extremely low…

Insurance rates are going to be sky high if sealed beams make a comeback.  No one will see anything at night.

Gas turbines are not ICE, there is combustion going on in them, but they have substantially better thermal efficiency than a reciprocating ICE engine. I’m not religious about my BEV beliefs, in fact I’m not really religious at all. I’m just a chemical engineer with a pretty solid understanding of physics,…

Let’s just ignore the fact that we have been decimating the land and oceans by pumping oil for the last 130 years. Every ounce of diesel and gasoline needs to be drilled, pumped, refined, transported and used one time and turned into CO2 immediately after the energy is extracted in an ICE.

All that experience, knowledge and access and you still act like an arrogant, entitled jerk.

I know you share your hot takes just for engagement. But you are wrong.
