Potentially putting thousands, if not millions, of four- and five-thousand-plus pound vehicles on the road could have serious consequences in car accidents.

C&D’s tests of the 2022 Kia Carnival and 2022 Honda Civic resulted in 70-0 stopping distances of 186 feet and 170 feet respectively, so these heavier EVs stopping in shorter distances don’t seem to be making your case.

You’re quite welcome. I had to figure out what the hell an ESAL was a couple days ago so I actually had those semi ready.

The formula scales exponentially based on weight and axles, but yes the research has been done including on light passenger vehicles.

1st Gear: It would have made far more sense for GM to have come out with a high end, high-margin, lower volume BEV under the Cadillac brand instead of coming out with the Bolt. And this recall is one of the reasons why... if you make a mistake on something critical and expensive that results in a mass recall, it’s far…

Exactly.

Just make a simple EV hatchback already and sell it in America for $25,000. I will buy it, I promise.

Exactly, affordable EV’s have been on the market for a while, and people choose not to buy them because generally they’re terrible cars, and you get far more bang for your buck when it comes to ICE vehicles.

We will never have a $25K EV to purchase new. I don’t know what you’ve been drinking this morning. When 2027 rolls around, the average new car will probably be around $60K

They'll never not be confusing...

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.

Sounds like 80% is a pretty good default setting then. Plus, it’s probably better for battery management.

Hopefully our nuclear future is disaster-free!

I think the bigger looming issue is student loan debt. Borrowers have enjoyed 0% interest and deferred minimum payments for 2+ years. Of those borrowers, how many have continued to pay their loans, hoping to get ahead? How many have splurged on needless other items assuming the windfall is going to last forever? I…

Super disappointed that wasn’t a red ‘95 Dodge Ram.

A year ago when you folks were out of toilet paper you thought these truckers were heroes.

Sure there are, the Tesla has camera’s watching and recording the driver. In the event of a crash, Tesla’s archive the footage of the driver, mostly so that Elon can point out the dumbass’ that do these things are no the FSD.

High speed. What they mean is speed. Cops and news people.. stop trying to sound smart or cool or technical. Just say speed. Speed is already a rate. Saying a rate of a rate means you’re talking about acceleration. While the Tesla had to have accelerated a some point, it looked like its acceleration was around zero…

They raid St. Louis’ home for the funds’ private keys less than an hour after a judge order the digital currency handed over.

So anyone who owns a house there is “rich”? I feel like you have an excessively loose definition of the word, because there’s a lot of people in expensive areas who are barely making mortgage payments. Only in kinja could someone be living paycheck to paycheck and a commenter acts like they’re shitting on gold toilets.
