I would ASSUME that emergency breaking would work but I’d rather avoid testing it in the real world.

Former Jalop writer Jason Torchinsky had a great take on where we are with driver assistance. Which is that the current level of autonomy is far more dangerous than driving one’s self.

The battery obviously recharges through regen braking, but does the engine also charge the battery? You mentioned just driving normally would recharge but driving hard recharged faster.

Love that Vette!

I’m well aware that Volv0 is owned by Geely. The point I intended to make (which I whiffed on) was did Geely think that they were going to somehow skate by tariffs because Volvo (the company itself) is based in Sweden?

Tesla isn’t charging anyone to get onto NACS. Tesla made NACS open source.

3rd Gear Volvo: How in the hell did Volvo fuck this up so badly?

If you want one of these (I do!!!) you’re unlikely to find a nicer one for sale at the moment.

Friend of mine had someone back into his 2023 Ford Explorer on the front driver wheel arch. There was a small dent in this area that looked like it could be popped out. The car is metallic white which presents problems with paint matching.

Ah, good point I had totally forgotten about VAT.

That is a gorgeous ride and I love that it is still in showroom new condition.

Wait, how do you know it was a weed wacker?

Exactly THIS!!!!!  NO FUCKING WAY, VOLVO!!!!

Want to stop this? Offer significant rewards to tipsters that lead to the early break-up or arrests of these assholes. Make them turn on each other so that they’re all scared to do it and get caught and lose their cars.

Start at 74,700k euros? OUCH! That is roughly 80k in US dollars.

I have a XC40 Recharge and the worst thing about the car is the buggy infotainment. I think Mosko is somewhat on the right track except that when you reboot the screen it only affects infotainment and climate, the car still drives normally even with that rebooting.  There is some sharing of processing for sure but I…

This happened a few times on the Alaska airlines flight BEFORE the door plug flew off.

Way back in 2005 a buddy had V6 Magnum and three of us hopped in it to go golfing. I was shocked that we could barely squeeze in 3 golf bags in the trunk. We had to remove the woods (heh, heh) from all three bags to even come close to making them fit.
