Because they canceled so many flights in all likelihood they likely don’t just have the cash needed to just refund all those flights immediately. They either need to wait for more ticket sales to get cash or they need to go draw on a credit line. Most of the other money on hand is likely already earmarked for paying…

EVs are coming and will likely be a lot more popular with high gas prices, but 98% of the cars on the road are just traditional ICE vehicles so it’s not like we can turn over the entire fleet anytime soon. Even if 100% of vehicles sold today were EVs it’d take almost two decades to fully electrify everything. The…

Except being able to re-use standardized parts across their portfolio is why the C8 is able to be priced the way it is despite being a high power mid-engined sports car. Makes sense that they would just throw in the glow plug icon in case they decided to use this same panel on a next-gen Malibu or whatever. But at…

It’s more that by 2045 inflation will have made $8 million similar to what $3 million is today. That’s enough to retire relatively early and never run out of money if you live an upper middle class lifestyle.

The problem with PHEVs is precisely that many owners never bother to plug the cars in at all. You get people just using them as extra-heavy regular hybrids so they don’t even get as good fuel economy as a normal hybrid while wasting tons of money and often tax money (via tax credits) on extra batteries that nobody is…

Themonolithic packs from Tesla found in the 3/Y (the S/X use a modular design more like the Mach E) are wired in a way such that cell failures do not cause a pack failure, the pack can bypass any cell that’s failing/malfunctioning. That’s why Tesla was able to go to this type of design in the 3/Y packs.

Tesla used the same method on their older pack designs, it was only with the 3/Y that they’ve gone to this monolithic design. It’s also wired in a way such that individual cell failures don’t cause pack failure, so you can tolerate some percentage of cells failing and still continue to have a functioning pack (with…

The Rimac isn’t out yet so that’s why Tesla’s claim is legitimate.

Tesla does not let you play video games while driving so I don’t know what you’re rambling about. Nobody will be playing video games while driving.

Not sure how a restriction to 99 would change anything, if you rear end someone going 60mph while you’re flying 99mph it’s going to end very poorly for everyone. 

Well it’s the same interior as the lower power trims except for the carbon fiber trim pieces, but that’s largely how AMG and BMW M do things in terms of the interior as well, you basically get some extra sporty trim and badging but the interiors are mostly the same.

You can jump most Teslas through one of the holes in the bumper that has accessible terminals. Basically looks like a tow hook cover but underneath are the 12V cables. Not difficult to access at all, the real downside is that people sometimes break the clips on the bumper cover when trying to remove it.

The Japanese OEMs didn’t really plan early on to transition to BEVs and sort of either projected that they would eventually be able to transition very far in the future (like 2030+) or be able to transition to hydrogen. But then the rest of the world decided they were going with BEVs along with regulations that will…

The Enclave actually has the most room in that third row, and it’s a little bit nicer on the top trim. None of the competitors have massaging seats for example. 

They can sell for like $2000 over MSRP, but this dealership is on some serious crack if they think people are going to buy a Telluride over a BMW X7, Aviator, GV80, Durango Hellcat, etc. $80K opens up a whole new level of vehicle. 

I mean honestly if you’re going to go drop $80K there are plenty of good options you can get that don’t involve setting an extra $40K on fire for no reason. Go buy a fully loaded MDX or Atlas or hell the Durango Hellcat-that might also be $80K but at least it won’t instantly depreciate $40K the moment Kia starts…

My buddy made an absurdly over ask offer on a house he wanted and the bid would have already been insanely overpriced but the winner outbid 14 other people who all bid higher than my buddy AND went all cash. The winning bid was $800K over ask, lol. Of course this is California.

The Tesla fire was out within three minutes, so to put out so this blaze actually took three times as long to extinguish. You’re the one who’s full of shit here and going by just plain wrong articles that kept perpetuating this EV fires can’t possibly be put out nonsense.

Yeah the news station is harping a lot on Key Lime’s rather dubious track record but it really doesn’t seem to be their fault on this one. Though...that track record is really horrible lol

They might not be wrong actually, it’s just very extreme to do this.
