This piece simply illustrates the reality of human nature.

Jalopnik says tire failure, AA says engine failure.

Raise your hand if you would not have clicked on this story if the leade photo did not show a cute face.

Except that newer, better “tanks” or tank technology will be introduced each year...make yesterday’s “tank” obsolete.

The actual goal here is not to have swappable batteries. The goal is to allow “refueling” of electric cars to be comparable to IC powered cars in terms of time and range. Defining the actual leads to actual solutions. Torch has misinterpreted the goal.

That is a 250 engine. Ford 250s have intake manifold integral to the head, not Chevies

I find the stated concern for the potential of a WV bankruptcy ironic—if not disingenuous.

“That said, the video evidence is pretty clear”

We had the same Crown Vic 1992-2012... 20 YEARS!! Only fleet buyers were nostalgic however.

We all know the soulless droning sound our postal delivery trucks make, right? Well, those are Iron Dukes too. If that sound brings you morning wood, this is the car for you!

Yes, it will have 600 hp, get 40 mpg, and emit only water vapor and rose petals.

Pretty sure Europeans are done with their diesels too.

Well...since VW has no V8 to install in Atlas (unless it wants to make Audi irrelevent) , it sorta makes sense that they would use their V6. Not exactly a surprise.

Yes, VW cheated, and deserves some level of punishment.

At least the beek has been de-chromed.

Lots of successful contractor-types, Ag bosses, and not a few suburban mommies in the Texas area disagree with you...as evidenced by the large numbers of $60k F150s being sold.

Dealers are very good at identifying suckers. Don’t be a sucker. Read your contract, know what you are buying, know the market.

How, exactly, does anyone create objective “standards” for used machinery? With countless types , and countless variations within types, I consider objectivity a futile pursuit.

Will these be as over-engineered and expensive to run as the automobile bretheren?
