If you have a driveway, go electric if you can. EVs work best in traffic, lease payments are very affordable (with depreciation you really don’t want to buy) and traffic becomes much more bearable with the instant torque and lack of overall NVH of an electric motor. The best ones are legitimately fun to drive when…

I’m a professional transportation planner and this is missing the biggest variable: Annual miles driven. Gas prices are back down, so it’s cheaper to drive your own car more, and when people drive more, they’ll increase their risk of being involved in a collision at any point over the year. I work for a transit…
I’m on my phone so I can’t easily prove it but those are definitely Subaru Forester tail lights.
Always had to do a double take anytime I ended up behind a Silverado from Bakersfield.
I wholeheartedly disagree. They’ve made exactly one good ad.

Well for starters, extremely appropriate username.
I work for a transit agency, and since we have a few hundred buses out in peak service that stop frequently we’ll have our buses slammed into often enough. Thankfully haven’t seen anything like this in our town.
Why the hell are you people so convinced your view is the last word? The arrogance is incredibly distasteful. You even had to attach an image.
Yeah, they did back when the British were literally on our doorsteps and we didn’t have any kind of formal National Guard yet. Times change.
That narrative is the truth. It stands for human rights and against bigoted small-mindedness. Come back when you grow a pair.
My 500e will be pretty cheap once it’s off-lease in June, it’s probably one of the highest-mileage ones at 32,000 right now :)
That’s the tough part. Nobody’s going to invest in infrastructure if there’s no demand, and nobody’s going to demand the product if there’s no infrastructure. That’s the great part about the subsidies in place right now, it’s an added incentive (especially on leases) to push a handful of early adopters over the edge…
$700*. And there are plenty of more affordable aftermarket options from reputable manufacturers.
Thankfully that’s where the tech is going, at least. Tesla’s our-people-only system aside, most new fast charger systems have two cords coming out of each unit - one SAE for the US and European models, and one CHAdeMO for the Asian models. Pretty similar to iPhones and Androids - the needs are the same, the power…
Whatever it takes to get us to a car culture that gets back to enjoying reaching the limits of a car responsibly on a backroad or small local circuit instead of doing a full-throttle pull between every stoplight down a city street and endangering the lives of everybody else on that street both inside and outside of a…
Why even hype 0-60 for gas-powered cars? 0-60 became bullshit the second automakers realized that they could get better press by making second gear just long enough to hit 60 without a second shift, and it stopped being strictly necessary the second half of the econoboxes on sale didn’t place your life at risk…
Sincerely hoping this is just an early drop of Ford’s April Fool’s Day video because nothing about this is an improvement. It’s not cleaner, it doesn’t tie the lines together better... I genuinely have no idea what this accomplishes besides signaling you have the newer model.
The current generation is gorgeous, it was…

My California-and-Oregon-only Fiat 500e has push-button shifting. The novelty wears off really quickly, like once you realize you didn’t hold down “D” long enough after being in reverse to pull out of a curbside space and you get to experience the joy of panic braking before backing into a car.
