This article is so full of inaccuracies it is hard to know where to begin.

So many things about this annoy me.

1. Los Angeles operates on NIMBYism. How was a private citizen able to do an abnormal construction project like this, just for fun, without years of legal battles and town halls?

2. One of the more dubious reasons against expanding Metro was because anything underground in an…

Artist’s conception of completed tunnel:

No one (statistically speaking...there are maybe 5,000 people who this does not apply to) buying new cars buys them to go offroad. Thus there is no reason for a true BoF SUV anymore. Gas mileage and cargo space are king in those segments. Biggest cargo area with the least tax on gas mileage will sell way more than a…

Hmmm...car tunnels or...

Hank Scorpio approves.

Because it’s in Los Angeles.

I wouldn’t call a majority Latino city “unremarkable” and “a dump,” but I’m not an editor.

Cool like the graphics on my middle school binder

Why can’t we have these here. We need more real SUV options. This crossover shit has to stop.

*sticks pins into New Blazer voodoo doll*

How can you make an armada into a patrol? Let’s see the parts list. 

“enlarges the entire passageway by several fractions of an inch”

> Under 100 miles highway makes these very limited in practicality

once you ride or even just see an Energica up close and learn about the tech, you realize that like Alta, Mission, and others which have fallen by the wayside, you realize that there is no competition yet in this segment. it’s like early days of electric cars when half-hearted attempts came up against the Tesla model…

We extrudehoned an engine we were using in a propane vehicle competition in college. I don’t remember the dyno numbers, but the gain was substantial & impressive. Possibly the single most effective engine upgrade we made. 

Pulls up to Taco Bell. “Danger to Manifold.”

I think I saw this in my daughter’s room when she was little.

Something that is lost on the whole Tesla vs the world argument is the engineering that has gone into the drivetrain, electronics and charging systems. They are in many cases revolutionary and absolutely ahead of the game. I would argue that they aren’t quite 7-10 years ahead, but they are definitely ahead of the game.

Interesting comparison - and one that is probably a little more relevant to the average buyer of these cars! However, I know that the industry as a whole is focused on 0-60 numbers, I do feel these are pretty irrelevant with the dawn of electric cars. Even the smaller and less powerful electric cars feel swift and…

Approx 99.79% of the car trips I make are less than 234 miles one way. About 95% are less than 50 miles.
