Lmao. Now when they burn out and crash coming out of a cars and coffee the wheels will fly off. So much more opportunity for destruction!

I’m thinking they just chose that pic to have something cool to put in the header. I don’t see anywhere it mentions it actually being an EV. That would indeed be near impossible.

Don’t forget, most of them won’t have the wheels pushed out to match the new fender width, so they will look like absolute trash.

Yep. Honda was bundling a rebranded Juicebox charger with the Prologue, so that’s what I’ve got in my garage. Not a big deal for me from a features perspective since I just plug in before I go bed and unplug when I leave in the morning, but this happened just in time to keep me from getting the $700 rebate from my…

I hope your enthusiasm for the car returns. I understand the timing was garbage and the issue shouldn’t have happened in the first place, but in the grand scheme of things it seems like a small roadbump to let completely ruin the car for you.

Look at the tread on those tires! I think it’s salvageable.

Hey, I made the list!

My Honda Prologue only makes 288hp, which seems pretty low when you look at the power/weight ratio (about 17lb/hp), but it feels quick enough to be both fun and safe. I did just order a pedal commander just for fun because there’s definitely a bit of lag off of the line, but if you’re already moving at traffic/highway…

People are overly reactionary, and for whatever reason any time the market dips the talking heads start acting like any “new” industry is going to tank overnight, particularly EVs. People get scared and abandon the new for the old and comfortable. Combine that with dealerships over-selling the availability and quality…

Well, congrats to Bearded Tesla on the first Cybertruck build that doesn’t make me want to immediately vomit, at least.

Greenworks already makes similar, as well as a pretty decent looking go-kart that uses the same batteries.

Fair enough. Hadn’t even considered that that (I hate having to type “that that”. Complete failure of the english language) might be part of the reason I do like my new Prologue so much. I don’t think I would want any of the silly self-driving features or other EV eccentricities that come in some of the more…

Most, if not all, have recommendations from the manufacturer in the manual, as well as reminders within the charging software re: how to maintain battery health. As you’ve suggested, it’s usually as simple as setting max charge to 80% and not dropping below 20%. People like to make things seem difficult.

No offense, but what are you doing on Jalopnik then?

Eh. No defense for Tesla, but new cars are pretty much always delivered dirty to the dealership, where they are then “detailed” (usually piss-poorly, but better than nothing). With no dealership experience to speak of, and cars delivered directly to customers, they’re getting dirty cars.

That’s a CX-5, not a Mazda 5. I don’t think anyone is clamoring for power passenger doors for their crossovers.

I’m gonna say... Not great. Just a quick comparison to my HR-V, which was already a tight fit if the driver and front passenger are more than about 5'6", that second row legroom does not look promising. But on the bright side, you only have to keep it rear facing for *checks recommendations* 1-3 YEARS?!?! I don’t…

“Anything that’s not a Miata. ... Hear me out:”

Yeah, OP either hasn’t driven one or is just a Miata stan. Miata’s are great, but that doesn’t mean you have to shit on every other car in the category. Different strokes for different folks, and all.

This seems like it should be celebratory but honestly it’s terrifying, because that’s who American’s have the clearest history of voting for.
