Manchin is an energy company shill who’s whored his seat out to them for decades. He sits comfortable in the knowledge that his family has benefitted directly from his legislative practices of enabling environmentally-destructive business practices, and that he can’t be replaced easily.

If the RS had the BRZ motor and a manual, it would likely be a fun package at a lower entry cost than the WRX, and set itself apart a little bit.

Will Jeep offer angry eye headlights and a Punisher skull decor kit? Also how do you install a lift kit and skid plates?

12 years is roughly 2 program lifecycles. The problems facing the conversion of long-haul tractor trailers to electric is a physics problem. The fundamental issue is not going to get solved in 12 years without exponential advancements in battery tech, which currently how no signs of happening.

The sooner the better.  I like clean air. 

Everyone seems to miss the point that this is about sales of new trucks, not the total fleet in operation.

If it takes 12 years to develop a truck, these companies have bigger problems.

Nice price if you want a quirky little runabout to fill out your fleet of cars. It will be the cheapest one of the bunch by far, which means more money to spend on your more problematic enthusiast vehicles.

Last time I checked there was a NON-infinite amount of petroleum in the ground, so there is that issue also.

Such drama. We’re incredibly early in the EV adoption process. I bet there were people in 1923 who wouldn’t be able to imagine a world built around the internal combustion engine. “Who’s gonna make millions of miles of paved roads? You? And oil? Good Lord, there isn’t enough oil in the earth’s crust to fuel a billion…

Because lightweight, simple, efficient hatchbacks are not being made any more? Also it’s no longer 2003. Cars from the 90's (even ones that are not labeled as ‘collectible’ by the powers that be) are worth more money now. 

Come on, people! That is clean as a whistle and cute as a bug’s ear. So what if it’s a third of the horsepower to which I have become accustomed (and far less than most of you would ever tolerate). But that fuel economy! That sweet frsh Spring-like color!

Bah. This is all histrionics from Stellantis.

And this is why its important to continue research and development of batteries that don’t use lithium. Metals like magnesium, graphite, vanadium. Toyota claims they will have a solid state battery ready by 2025 and those don’t use lithium either. That’s probably why Toyota is being so quite about EVs: Because once…

We’re already fucked at this point.

people will cry about rushing into things, but let’s be realistic. sometimes you just have to rush. when you’re bleeding out, time is off the essence, and you, or those around you should definitely rush.

Going to drive our Transit tonight to go out and get Taco’s

Not a Hamilton fan, and that was a pretty fucked call.

You’ve left out one rather important piece of information in that Masi violated not one, but TWO regulations on that final lap. If any lapped cars are allowed through, the race is not to be restarted until the end of the following lap. If the rules were followed, the race would have ended under caution after those…

If we’re requesting mugs with radio chatter then I want Kimi! “Leave me alone. I know what I’m doing.”
