Slow car fast >> Fast car slow

It’s not a bad thing.  As long as they used the funds to retain employees, they’re using it the way it’s meant to be used.  But if they start crying poor me without the slightest bit of self-awareness, that’s when the claws come out.

The counterpoint ot this is there in your final statement. His asinine, childish bullshit is making the most popular EV in the world a symbol of adolescent douchebaggery that will fuel those opposing wide spread adoption.

Bought not built

The hub motor approach answers 1 question, and asks many more.

That kind of unnecessary risk is for controlled environments like driving school. It's poor form in the wild.

There is, but it's weekend Jalopnik, and it's Torch. That's multi dimensional screwing around.

Sure people need to know what's going on, but GM is introducing uncertainty into a failure complicated environment(there can be a lot of moving pieces in a parking lot) for a feature with almost no benefit. It’s a bad choice that they should’ve abandoned long ago. Don't force the general public to guess at the intent…

Not a lot of familiarity with manuals, I assume.

That looks extremely normal. Which is an accomplishment of sorts for an EV.

They work well in neither application. It takes the drawbacks from both a turbo and a super charger and puts them together.

Screw those centrifugal superchargers. The worst kind of compromise.

Because they’re frequently flawed, and those flaws benefit for-profit third parties that are not part of the criminal justice system.  There is little incentive to make them better.

That looks like the arm w/o the actual wiper on it.

If it helps, you CAN get it with a 6sp manual, and that’s $3k less (starting).
