I live in a state where people just voted in a gas tax and the government spends it on what they call road diets to take away drive lanes, and high speed rail, and metro lines nobody uses.

Man, I understand the temptation. Or, I guess I should clarify: In my town, anytime a new business starts up on the main road, a traffic light gets put in. So, over the last 5-10 years, the number of lights has gone up by at least 50%. It’s absolute horseshit. The very concept of this ‘rule’ is crap- you have a main…

Absolutely no mention of our continually increase amount of distractions, our waning regard for personal responsibility (especially when driving,) and our over-reliance upon “nannies” of all kinds?

Way-to-go, Jalopnik...

Cars have thick and slanted A-pillars. They can’t see you even if they wanted to. That pillar can easily block a person.
On the other hand, I see majority of pedestrians walk into road without bothering to look. Here in LA, we have tons of signs advertising injury lawyer payout. People think if you hit them, they will…

Nothing can be done.

Because bluetooth is a garbage standard that didn’t work well in 2000 and is still crap today.

Please don't turn into Yahoo. If I want to read a compilation of other people's tweets I'll get a Twitter account, thanks. 

I haven’t seen this be EV specific. It’s just lazy ass dealers. Made an appointment at Carmax to look at a Volt days ahead of time. I show up and it is apparently completely dead and nobody had bothered to check it at all before my arrival. Fail. Made an appointment at a Chevy dealer to look at a slightly used Yukon…

I really don’t know how electric trucks are going to be able to do “truck stuff” with current battery tech. My Chevy Bolt averages a little over 4 miles per KWH and the battery weighs 1000lbs to move its 3600lbs around 230 miles. Due to its weight and not so aerodynamic body, I would expect a full size pickup to…

Except gas stations are already everywhere.

No they don’t.  Any car built to CARB standards will exceed the far lower standards set by the feds.

Carbon neutral is a marketing scam. It is not possible, and therefore is meaningless gibberish or a flat out lie.

I don’t get the argument that if the standards are loosened it’ll cost more. Just build whatever you had in the pipeline.

Obama increased fuel economy standard, and car company complained they can’t be met. Trump reduced fuel economy standard and car company complained they can’t take advantage of it. Now they want to increase fuel economy standard, but they also warned they can’t meet the tighter fuel economy standard either.

If true, I think Jalopnik buried the big story here. Since 2011 Ford has added 14,000 production workers and FCA has more than doubled to 47,200 production workers?

Yes, but FoMoCo and FCA added UAW jobs evidently. This is Jalopnik - writing isn’t their strong suit...

I think Jalopnik need’s proofreaders.

The who brought the what??

I understand maybe one third of the words in the title of this article.

That would mean that the Jalopnik bloggers would also need to be class leading and do real research/editing/proofreading.
