The boomers are by and large much less healthy in their old age than the generations before them. They have the bad timing of being both the first fast food generation and the last chain smoker generation.

To be fair, the CX-5 is the new 6 in the same way the CRV is the new Accord and the RAV-4 is the new Camry. Sad but true.

There are less parts in a transmission with a clutch pedal.  Just sayin.

Agreed! It’s exactly this kind of BEV that’s hopefully gonna take us another step towards mass adoption.

Totally agree. This is why the hybrid RAV4 is so successful. Its normal. It looks just like the RAV4 that everyone is used to, unlike the stupid Prius which was just polarising. Same with this truck. Its an electric F150. It does what it says on the tin. You don’t buy it to show how much of an EV evangelist you are.…

Just reach over the side of your F-150 bed — yeah, if you’re 6 foot 8.

Well, Orlove, Torchinsky, and Tracy don’t appear to have been included this week (though we don’t know who suggested the HR-V) which means the weird shit is out.

Like, there’s tons of good options, but my mind just goes to this even though it’s a bad option:

The one you want actually want is going to be $55-60K. The $40K one is going to be for the power company guys to drive around looking at poles, in plain white, black vinyl bench seat with no air conditioning. Probably not THAT stripped, but probably not far from it.

Meh, I drive 600 miles each way everyday, both uphill in the snow with a full truck bed. That range wont work for me........therefore all electric cars are garbage.

As a car idiot and an urbanist, this is something I often struggle with.

so that’s why México is so much fun.

Hey, sometimes you just need to be constantly reminded that the spectre of death is always around the corner just to feel alive!

Shit that’s just your average country road in Texas. The fun ones are the ones with 6 foot deep irrigation ditches on either side 

Yes, it is hard trying to reconcile being an automotive enthusiast and being somewhat socially responsible. And this vehicle is not the answer to that idea. i will go out on a limb and just say that the Hummer is an EV more for the novelty than for anything else. It certainly is not green, and it certainly could have…

“The place I’m from has the worst roads” + California has more people than any other state..... Seems inevitable since most people don’t get around much.

Bad thing is that Costco gas is too popular, there’s always like a 20 minute wait unless you get gas right around closing (another bad thing about Costco gas, its not 24 hours).

I watched it on the original run and then again a few months ago.  I almost forgot how excellent it is.  Would have loved another few hours of story!

trolls like Warren ... (he’s blocked me on Twitter, sadly)

I would’ve thought there were enough Autopilot related crashes that have gone viral by now to dispel anyone of the notion that you can completely check out while the system is on.
