It is well documented that over the entire lifecycle of a car, from raw material sourcing to end of life disposal, the carbon footprint of manufacturing a given car is something like 10-15% of the car’s total CO2 emissions. The vast majority of any vehicle’s emissions come from the operation stage of life.

Nice writeup.

That is bleeping awesome. I wish they run it by itself, to hear what the tires do. They’d be expensive, but I like the idea of the crate electric drivetrains that you can retro fit into older cars.

It really is impressive stuff.

Maybe if he was just a floor worker. But a supervisor?  He should’ve been fired immediately after saying that.  Nobody that thinks that way (especially to the point he feels comfortable just blurting it out) has any business supervising people.  There’s no way you can trust him to treat all the workers equally.

Here’s what I took away from this article:

Unpopular opinion time; I think that’s rad. I love having a loud exhaust... sometimes. Other times I’m driving an hour+ on the freeway and just don’t want to hear it. Or I have a headache. Or I’m driving past the NIMBYs who live near the autocross course. And being able to set times the car automatically starts…

Ugh, I hate it when people do that. Those spots are reserved for a reason.

Call me crazy, but I kinda wish more CEOs would just give it to me straight like that.

I’ll be honest, that looks better than their new grille in my opinion.

Painting the grill did wonders for the look, whether it was color-matched or color-contrasted.

“please don’t pay attention to objective ratings gathered from multiple data points and instead listen to my confirmation bias based on secondhand anecdotal evidence”

seems legit.

So THIS is how you end up with an unwelcome tuxedo passenger seat.

On good roads with nice weather, driving an M Roadster is a religious experience. It’s got plenty of power, crisp handling, and the quad exhaust burbles and pops just a few feet behind your head.
