S10-EV. The concept was a bit too far ahead of the technology, but with modern batteries this could be the ultimate urban work/delivery truck.

This is why pressure vessels (including aircraft) are usually tested in a water tank. Your structure doesn’t know whether it’s being pressurized with air or water, but water stores a whole lot less energy.

- Many of the people criticizing Verstappen are happy to forget about Senna binning Prost at Suzuka in 1990.

It needs to be both much harder to get a driver’s license in this country and much easier to lose it.

Because not doing so saved $0.47 per unit, letting some upper-lower-middle management type hit his numbers for the quarter.

The purpose of the MOLLE webbing appears to be to support a whole range of accessories; there’s already a jump seat on the web site. That’s logical, but I think it’s just going to end up doing a bunch of things badly. I would be closer to impressed if not only did the pad actually fit the tailgate, but the tailgate…

Also, nobody builds a factory for the capacity they need today; they build it for the capacity they hope they’re going to need in a few years.

Probably the M5 commercials with Madonna and Clive Owen, directed by Guy Ritchie.

I would consider Maserati to be a performance brand, but their partnership with Chrysler was still pointless.

Riblets would be slightly less impractical. Golf balls only use dimples because they spin. For objects that are always moving in the same orientation (airplanes and sailboats) a linear structure is just as effective.

Anything that’s only getting a $500 trade-in isn’t sticking around long.

Why do things like this keep happening? Because there are a lot of stupid assholes in this country and a lot of car dealerships. There’s just bound to be some overlap.

Luxury car technician can go one of two ways. For every shop that caters to broke posers and pays flat rate there’s one for the play hard pay hard crowd that keep their cars spotless and don’t care how many labor hours it takes to get that $30 part changed.

There are some awfully big numbers here considering Saab only built a few over 800 9-4xs in its one year of production.

Why? If I had to guess, they’re using the same ground connections in the cyber truck as they are in all of their other vehicles, but stainless steel and aluminum are galvanically very different. Throw in the fact that the truck isn’t water tight, and it’s not surprising that there are issues.

“Such a scenario would leave it to fans to decide if the replacements — likely drivers and teams from lower-level series — provide a watchable product.”

Or voice command.

And there seems to be some confusion here; you can register and insure any car you want in your own name, but unless you have the title you have no claim to ownership.

Normally yes, but for a few years there inventories were so low due to supply chain disruptions that many buyers were forced to pretty much take what they could get. Things are starting to cool down, but I fear that the concept of “sell fewer for more” may have been too well internalized at most companies.

This right here. It doesn’t matter what the market wants. If you’re selling loaded SUVs and pickup trucks as fast as you can make them, there’s no reason to shift any of that capacity to something that will make you less money.
