That seems to be the idea for most companies. Tesla seems to be the only company that refuses to pass along savings to consumers. No matter how many revolutionary cost saving manufacturing methods they employ, their prices increase as volume increases.

Over the last two years (50,000 miles), my overall average is 25.6mpg.

LOL.

People want a car that could look spicy, but it has to do it without utilizing a multitude of fake vents.

I just wish my car had the ability to achieve its EPA rated fuel economy...

That’s because the one in that picture was the original prototype, before changes were made for the production car!

Regardless of everyone’s thoughts on Tesla, I think it’d be hard not to say the Model S or Model 3. These two cars changed the way consumers felt about electric cars, and in many ways, even changed the way other manufacturers think about cars.

I don’t know if it was really one of the worst things Honda made, but the Honda Ridgeline must be in contention for one of the ugliest.

It wasn’t until I was about 12 or 13, but my father had purchased a 1979 Pontiac TransAm. Prior to that, he had his fair share of heavily customized pickup trucks... But the Pontiac is what got me into cars.

Right. And supply chain issues are creating and worsening scale issues.

Seems to work the exact opposite at some notable manufacturers.

Mixed feelings on this...

The Rivian R1T ticks nearly every single box for me.

I feel like a huge part of the problem are those 178 rail crossings over just 66.5 miles. That’s a rail crossing every 1,973 feet (601 meters) compared to one every 9,916 feet (3,022 meters) for CalTrain. That’s more than five times the number of railway crossings per unit distance, which is just another way of saying…

Fiesta ST and MazdaSpeed3

Like most people reading, I find it difficult to read this without getting frustrated. On one hand, we need to understand the value of human life. On the other, these are blanket “solutions” (consequences) being indiscriminately applied to everyone on the road to address the behavior of a very small fraction of…

Subaru WRX.

I wish I knew exactly what it was that’s broken on my MazdaSpeed3... but since the problem only reveals itself in the form of EVAP codes, its a massive pain to figure out.

What’s up with the relatively sudden crackdown on enthusiasts?

This place seriously needs a lot of work, so here’s to hoping you can help!
