Dont fret. Changli has their best people working on that as we speak. 

Ford sells over a million trucks per year. It is blatantly obvious that they’re building trucks people want to buy. What you want will never happen for the price you demand with today’s safety regulations. Ever.

Bought my wife a Traverse, I preferred a van and in moments of honesty she does as well.

Hmmm. Perhaps I’m too laissez faire, and certainly the actual sensors involved may show a more serious outcome for vehicle occupants, but superficially, those crash tests don’t look nearly as bad as plenty of others I’ve seen. Having lived most of my life driving vehicles *without* side airbags, it’s not as if I…

Hands down would take a Regal Tour-X over an Outback. I cant stand the way Subaru’s CVT drives, their seats suck, the interior is cheap, and Subaru “reliability” is a myth that has been kept up by the laurels of Honda and Toyota.

I mean i dont want to be called an elon stan, but the test was wildly more successful than anyone anticipated. It was basically understood that the moment the thing took off it was going to end in a fireball, which is why its replacement is already completed. That it made the transition from vertical to horizonal to…

Most people in high-leadership positions of companies like this usually are. Because they’re the ones who don’t take no for an answer and go and go until they get what they want, which in this case is several HUGELY successful companies

Care to expand on why they are stupid ?
Because as far as I know, as far as all the things I’ve read, as far as spaceX growth and valuation, as far as litteral experts in the filed think and say... There is absolutely nothing stupid about them ?
SpaceX is not playing with taxpayers money, they don’t need to overthink…

Since when did we realize reusable rockets were stupid? In 10 years, one company has grown from a startup with a tiny launch vehicle (Falcon 1) into the largest provider of launch services in the world. The Falcon 9 is one of the most reliable rockets out there and the only American rocket capable of carrying humans.…

He was 97. That is a life long lived.

That’s a dumb argument. You have to measure a car or anything in its era. Technology evolves but outright domination doesn’t. 16 races, 15 poles, 15 wins. That’s a 94% win rate. If you think this years Merc is better than that, as great as it is, you need to stop writing posts about F1.

The Tesla and some other electric cars use massive banks of a standardized “18650" Li-Ion battery.

We live in Alberta. It gets really cold here in January. Last year we had three weeks at -30C to -35C. I’ve been hiking at -48C (before factoring in windchill) in our lovely hellhole of a Province.

Cows are actually pretty intelligent, they’re just extremely lazy. A determined cow with a goal to be in an area they aren’t supposed to be is very annoying to farmers. They also hold grudges.

Buick has always scored really high in reliability rankings. Part of that is probably down to demographics - when the majority of your customers are retirees who just bought their first “nice” car you tend to see them get driven very... gently - and part of that is that GM really hasn’t taken a risk with a Buick since…

Both Honda and GM have had this in production on some models for years.

I’ll at least give him credit for staying at the controls instead of baleen out.

Wow, the driver could have been krilled.

The pressure should (using my non-tire-engineer logic) actually help with the tire’s survivability at speed. My understanding is that high-speed tire failure usually comes from a delamination or tread failure due to excessive heat. The heat is generated due to the rapid deformation of the tire, so if you can reduce…

Salt flats don’t allow cars to hit their maximum speed, the drag is too high. They also (typically) don’t allow you to run both ways at Bonneville which would preclude a legitimate world record.
