What is the point of an air-to-air nuclear missile? Instead of making direct contact was it designed to explode near its target, and take it out with an indirect blast?

Most magazines have tested the XM doing 0-60 in 3.5-4.0 seconds. That’s pretty damn fast. There are only a handful of current BMWs that can out-accelerate the XM.

Where do those people think used cars come from?

Wait - Tesla’s high profile truck doesn’t even have a signature Tesla feature?  Ha!  As if we need any more evidence the development of this truck was rushed.

I have driven the Taycan Turbo S and it is fantastic. I don’t care what the “purists” say about the name or the car. In fact, fine, let them stick to their “pure” Porsches. When I have enough money saved up, there will be more Taycans for me!

Design Team: our angular space truck is THE FUTURE!

I think they DID know about it. In the video he mentions the tips of the wheel covers are a softer material, presumably to mitigate the effects of contact with the wheel. The concept from 4-5 years ago had the same style wheel covers. What happened over 4 years that prevented them from solving this seemingly simple pro…

In the video he mentions the tips of the covers are a softer material. To me it sounds like Tesla engineers knew contact with the tire was a problem, tried to address it with spacing and materials, still didn’t quite succeed and released the truck anyway.

Nice pun...I’m lovin’ it!

Those aero wheel covers were on the concept car in 2019. Avoiding contact with the sidewall is something I would expect a competent company to have figured out years ago. That truck only has “a couple thousand miles” on it.  What other shortcuts were made to rush this thing out the door?

“Dangerous old cars without airbags or ABS”

Newark is bad? Dang it, I just booked a flight into and out of EWR.

Predict - say or estimate that (a specified thing) will happen in the future or will be a consequence of something.

No doubt.  He is a true enthusiast AND he is incredibly annoying.

YES

The speed at which he speaks and his intense BUT ANYWAY pivots are frightening.

The British guy that always smiles. Plus his name is annoyingly close F-150, a vehicle almost totally opposite of his brand.

Most road trips for my family involve a stop at Buc-ee’s, which have several EV charging ports. Just getting all 4 of us through the bathroom there can be a 20 minute affair. I don’t own an EV but I gather that charging time will get us plenty of range.

There is a good piece in the Washington Post describing the excessive lengths to which Michael Mann filmed the racing scenes and rarely used digital stand-ins. They were definitely driving pretty fast, but maybe not quite as on-edge as real racers did back in the day.

Many hybrid systems have electric AC compressors, which still turn independent of the ICE.
