Excited for tomorrow’s post: How I drowned the stress of millions of confused boss calls when I told their employees to leave early...with blinker fluid.

Bring an OBD reader and the Leafspy app on your test drive, then you should be good.

We bought a 2012 Leaf in 2019 and it has been the best car, economically, I’ve ever had. 90km range at best, about 60km in winter. If a dealer had pulled the above quoted shenanigans here in Norway, existing laws would have been sufficient to undo the purchase at the buyer's favour. That's just good old fraud.

As true as it might be, it’s also the saddest conclusion. Americans cannot just give up half their population, designated "stupid".

The article above is mindless..."by 2025", WTF. A new washer isn't done developing and testing in aviation in 4 years.

Hooray for the best writer of Jalopnik...or the internet! You manage to continue coming up with content gold, and it's just getting better - the Changli stuff made me return to Jnik daily again.

I live in a very scenic area. In winter, with icy roads and strong winds, I commute home from work in about 60% of the time I use on perfect summer roads. All because of random RVs clogging the roads, driving half the speed limit, and the geriatric drivers wanting to point at every waterfall they pass.

You're not wrong, everybody with access to the most basic education and functioning media knows that. But calling other people "idiots" and "assholes" is really not a sustainable strategy at length. A verbal attitude like that also means you end up giving up trying to reach these people, destabilising democracy in the…

Ah, the conciliatory approach, a winner through all of human history.

You're correct, but my point was: Fun is a fuzzy metric. I have both an EV for daily use, a low hp gas car for my wife and long distance errands, and a rare luxury sedan with a huge gas engine. To me, all of them are fun. Even the 84hp Hyundai...because you can drive it in a quite binary way, and the manual offers…

Why would you, and at least half of the internet commentariat, present, interpret and read the world as if there was only one perspective?

Honestly, it's not the Miata that's tiny...something's off with pickups in general, but that's not exactlt news either.

Urobean here...we’re still selling and buying 2-by-4's and measure boats in feet. Some things are more stubborn than others. It nonetheless makes a lot of sense for the human species to harmonize simple measurements. A generation or two doesn't really matter in that context; my 2 ct.

We own a Leaf *only* because it is cheap. The car has poor space utilisation, poor battery management with the potential of expensive failures (onboard chargers, anyone?), soda can-like metal, it’s full of stupid engineering decision *and* Nissan “quality”, after all. It's uncompetitive. Unless it's priced right, that…

Despite the profits Lamborghini is making currently, 7.5 billion dollars is a wild offer for the brand. They're deeply entwined with Volkswagen and going forward, the new company would either need to forge new alliances, or continue to buy Volkswagen tech and refine it...at a cost. That's insane.

Confined to a floating cesspool of poor food, loud people, and machine vibrations everywhere...who wouldn't love that?

I am often surprised by how many car guys feel intimidated by EVs. Our Leaf is a great appliance, and, occasionally, fun to drive. Even though it’s a hatchback the size of a van.

I really like the LS, and this is a great deal. Nice price all day long.

In Europe, car licenses typically have an upper limit of 3.5 tons. Not that the Hummer will be a success in Europe, maybe not even sold here, but it says a fair bit about how our regulatory environment is not expecting personal vehicles with such heft.
