Just don’t put it on the salt flats in winter.

This bridge was made for walking, and that’s just what it’ll do.

Given how few EVs there are (I can walk into a Ford dealership and buy how many exactly?) the fact that they’re even in single figures is amazing. It speaks volumes about how Tesla was able to create and move a market all by themselves.

BMW made just this car, in the form of the i3 range-extender version. It’s still a very good small car.

There used to be a time when a sub 3 second 60mph figure was truly impressive.

Whatever the next high level racing series is, it will be electric. That comes with heavy compromises, but this allows manufacturers to develop technology and get something for their Euro and Yen. It’s going to be increasingly hard to justify an expensive ICE racing series.

Those cars are so pretty I don’t mind seeing them more than once.

There’s an interesting article on Teslarati by Christian Prenzler (before Rivian hired the former intern) where as of mid-year last year they were finalising production processes. That’s a full 24 months before they start manufacturing. I don’t doubt their capabilities.

All those accessories are just going to worsen its rather average fuel economy. Fair enough if you live down a muddy back road, but not strictly necessary for suburban driving.

Quite. You certainly can’t tell if something’s in its virgin state by looking at it.

“knowing that the oil, filter, and crush washer are changed with exactly the type you want”

They’ve been in pre-production for a while. I’m confident they’ll ship towards the end of this year.

This is cruel and unusual behavior, a robot being forced to self-harm.

Correction: the Ivanka Trump Presidential library. Otherwise correct. Some of our concerns will prove warranted, but most will seem quaint.

This piece of automotive perfection doesn’t need to change. It’s Niva going give you up, Niva going to let you down, Niva going to run around and dessert you.

Technically correct: the best kind of correct.

Just do what Tesla does, and overinflate your tires for the test.

People said that about all the great things that were ever invented.

Now playing

It didn’t work out well the last time someone tried it.

It’s really not that big. It’s GLC sized, which in the old days we would have considered a medium wagon.
