Less polluting, yes. Emissions free? No. Until everyone understands and admits that EVs aren’t emissions free, arguing about saving the planet with EVs is pointless. Now, if we can build new nuclear power plants, then we can truly cut emissions significantly.

California has had stricter emissions standards for decades. There is still smog. If they really want a cleaner state, they could just stop driving so many cars. Electric vehicles aren’t pollution free, not are they CO2 neutral. Their tailpipe is just further away. Also, since when does California have extra…

Mark my words: There is far more to this story than is currently known to the public. I guarantee that this isn’t the first time that cabin crew has dealt with Muslims on board flushing toilets. Something else triggered the investigation, and telling the authorities that there are Muslims flying is not enough to get…

This is why I just don’t get racing. “Hey everyone, go build a fast, powerful car with any engine you want, using any fuel you want, and let’s race! Wait! But no electricity. That’s not fair. It’s too fast.” Change the archaic rules, or be prepared to lose a lot of fans. People want power and speed in a race. They…

That’s ridiculous. So, Ford Mustangs are prohibited from that competition and for that matter so are every other brand name car? (Because none of them are explicitly permitted in the rules.)

“basically right" should include a detailed investigation into the fuel source of the vehicle. (I mean detailed sarcastically, because all they'd have to do is read the car's brand name and have been alive for the last 5 years.)

You are correct. Bad journalists have to lie to people in their headlines to get people to read them. It's basically click bait, the lowest form of attention getting on the internet. I detest it, yet here I am.

Exactly! My guess is that the complainer wanted him to enter so he could beat about how he smoked that little wanna-be race car. After the Tesla kicked ass, he freaked out and called foul. If racing is all about technicalities, that explains why I have no interest in it. I like cars but think restrictor plates are…

I’ve never heard of a cannon that forward bullets. Interesting...

I’m going to assume that some of this family, at a minimum the 1-year-old, didn’t know how to swim. There is one basic rule of boating: If you can’t swim, you wear a life vest at all times. The captain should have insisted, and it should be company policy.  Just my opinion, but it's also common sense.

Agreed.  I guess some people have to turn everything into a race issue. It's sad.

“perfect design”

I’m trying to understand how/why you think that making something a mandatory standard feature doesn’t increase the price of a car. Did car prices not shoot up when airbags were made mandatory? Of course, they did. The regulations requiring airbags, ABS, back up cameras, cat converters, etc., etc., etc. all contribute…

I would gladly trade power steering for cruise control. I drive 100 miles per day going to/from work on the interstate. I’d go crazy and have cramps in my right leg if I had to constantly hold that accelerator in the same position for an hour at a time.

Um... Yeah, dude. People actually ARE suggesting that they shouldn’t be covered. Musk said that covering these Tesla crashes is equivalent to vehicular homicide. So, he is actually saying it should be a crime. He is explicitly suggesting that they should not be covered. Clearly. So, you can’t say that nobody is…

If you don’t feel safe driving on the highways, you shouldn’t. In 30 years of driving, I’ve never had even a close call because of cruise control. If you have to drive over 6 hours, the CC helps to keep your right leg from cramping up. So, it can actually improve safety. But, if you’re not skilled enough to use it,…

Not only should there be at least 2 lights, but as others have said, the code reader should be built in to the car. Also, you should be able to mute and snooze a particular non-emergency code. That way, if it’s something you don’t care about, you don’t have to see the light constantly on, or if it’s something that can…

Oh man... I have a Korean friend, so I almost felt bad that I laughed out loud at that one. Almost.

Yeah... Not sure the author knows what a drop kick is. It was just a kick.

So, Trump got it backwards: The purpose of the test is to measure head impact to pedestrians, not the damage to the car. I’m sure the car manufacturer employee who relayed this information to him may have obfuscated the details a bit. Nevertheless, the basic underlying point is the same: It’s a ridiculous test that…
