With how fast those cars are, you need absolute trust. See: Chris Meeke yelling “FIVE?!?!?!”

Hot take: Either do a proper lever shifter or just do push button. These little nipple shifters need to go into a big bin and get shot into the sun where they can’t bother us ever again.

Why not commute above the daily traffic jam?

I mean, this is obviously a large oversight but “worst case scenario... coming to fruition” seems a little hyperbolic. Lots of mechanical errors “brick” conventional cars and render them unusable - we’re talking about a faulty storage device here.

I’ve seen this before. Someone in software is debugging something, ramps up the logging, fixed 6 the problem and either forgets to turn off the logging or the software manager re-tasks the software person to something else. A few years ago I showed up to investigate why a piece of equipment wasn’t working. The 2TB…

Teslas have had this for some time. Why is it news when another manufacturer copies Tesla?

The only saving grace for PHEVs is if owners can at least commute to work on EV only. With the average commute at 32 miles round trip and the EV range being only 30 miles, that just doesn’t cut it. Maybe I’m wrong and you guy are right, but looking at BMW PHEV sales since 2014 says something’s gotta change.

I don’t think there’s been a single Leaf fire in the 8 years the car has been on the market.

I have to assume there is some old tax credit or alternative energy mandate behind this because nobody in their right mind should ever bet money on hydrogen, it’s a joke.
