What he was doing wouldn’t be legal in any of the places splitting is permitted.

It’s also baffling considering Toyota is the reason we’re here at all. The original Prius was a watershed moment in automotive technology, and made every other automaker stand up and pay attention to hybrids. They did exactly what Tesla did for BEVs.

The production limitation on the Prius is absolutely baffling to me. It flies in the face of their whole “but we can make three PHEVs for every BEV” argument. But that’s everything about Toyota’s position on EVs, disingenuous to the core.

After a relatively hot last couple of years, EV sales have cooled off. A lot of American buyers don’t want them

I know...it’s ‘trendy’ to be anti-EV these past three months...but time will really tell on this one and that long term outlook is EV.

I don’t disagree, but my first thought was “Oh look-a Prius coupe!”

This is basically a reskinned 10th-generation Civic Coupe.

This is 100% my next car. It is exactly what I wanted from Honda - a clean looking, straightforward EV sports car that looks like it would be perfectly practical and usable every day.

Every door mechanism is only as safe as the engineer that programmed it and tested it. As I was told during my first programming class: “Here, you have the luxury of having bugs in your code that make it work correctly 90% of the time. In the real world, if you get it to work correctly only 99.9% of the time for some…

I wonder how many kids get “chopped” by power sliders. Or even regular sliders. My own mother closed a hinged car door on my hand when I was a kid. I’m mostly confident it wasn’t intentional.

I was a kid that got his head caught in the sliding door of a minivan when a adult was closing it before lol.

You can complain about the looks all you want. That doesn’t mean it was going to crush the child’s head if they hadn’t moved.

Its literally the same thing with a slightly different setting for resistance. The Tesla door might have more resistance when closing so it cant be as sensitive or the normal door friction won’t let it close. 

The fact they say the others are catching up when they sold 30k of a model and Tesla is selling 300k of a single model. That’s not catching up. 

But Tesla’s overall market share continues to increase.

I went to check the actual released quarterly financials to see if Rivian was really in this bad of shape. If Rivian actually had a gross profit per vehicle, but a net loss due to the costs of engineering and marketing, then scaling the company could allow it to become profitable.

“Whoever wrote this should also follow their own advice and educate themselves: none of the EVs listed even support charging speeds that fast.”

No it makes me think I have a right to a faster charger because my car can charge 2-6x faster than almost every other EV on the market, so if there are two cars parked in 350 stations that can’t even max out a 150 charger when the other 150 spots are empty, you’re damn right I’ll be pissed.

...had this happen last weekend at an EA station. I bought a Hummer EV last month and was on a road trip. This is a remote station that I’ve never seen full with 4 chargers and there were only two charging, a VW iD4 and a Chevy Bolt, which can only charge at 118kW and 55kW, respectively. BOTH 150kW chargers were free…
