It gets worse.

VINDICATION! I’m so sick of arguing with people that say because it has less moving parts there’s nothing that can go wrong. That’s bullshit. But to be fair, frankly so are CR rankings, so I’ll just be quiet now.

The problem with Tesla is it isn’t simplifying its cars. Nobody asked for Falcon wing doors. Not really sure how much extra range you get out of sliding door handles. The more crap you add to your car, the more things can go wrong.

Before anyone says “But warranty!!”, imagine fixing these issues OUT of warranty (which isn’t too far away for some of the first model year cars).

What the driver did was, in terms of potential outcomes, was no different than pulling out a handgun and firing. Anything the biker did was completely separate from the auto driver, and would be dealt with separately in legal proceedings.

Kmart had the “Blue Light Special” so it’s fitting that Targer has a “Red Light Special”

That picture is not the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is far, far too dense, and it is garbage floating on top of the surface. News editors seem to do a really good job of finding pictures of floating garbage from marinas and other areas where it collects, and running them with stories about the patch when they lack…

I love how it is portrayed as doom and gloom, to when it is the land slowly returning to its natural state.

I worked for a airplane cleaning company and I can tell you why they missed it. The people cleaning the plane have between 5 and 7 minutes to clean/vacuum the entire plane between flights. There is usually around 3 or 4 people who the cleaning and they are being paid minimum wage with no benefits (and when I say none,…

Thanks! I figured Stow and Go was out of the question due to the battery pack floor, but some flexible folding/tumbling/removable seating of some sort seems crucial for this segment. Access to the 3rd row is a minimal necessity, not a feature.

Can’t have a thread about wood in cars without...

They make me say, “I have plenty of money to buy one of these, but can’t for the life of me identify why I’d want this thing over a much less expensive and just as serviceable alternative.”

Damn that thing is ugly. It’s like an Aztek made love to a Prius, and then someone decided it was worth so much more than both combined.

The Model X - The answer to the question: What would it take to make a really neat minivan?
