Don’t you understand, gas cars are evil! If Nissan or GM can’t pump out a new EV daily for our Morning Shift articles, then they have no place in our brave new world.

It’s crazy to me that there’s an “automotive enthusiast website” where half the staff seemingly hates cars.

All of these bans on gas-burning cars end up a little dumb in that, well, they are not taking place immediately

Their next step is already on its way. Rectangular batteries that waste less space between units. Google “pouch batteries”.

It makes sense as it’s the most or at least one of the most common form factors for this battery type—opens up sourcing options, helps logistics, allows for variability in application when they build their own batteries, and I think the smaller individual cell size allows the BMS to work to a much more accurate degree…

Any frunk (or trunk) is easy to open if you have one of these:

This is only on Jalop bc it was about a Tesla crash, and Torch (and about every other “author” here) loves to shit on Tesla at any chance they can.  I am actually really surprised the headline wasn’t something like “Elon Musk got high once and now Teslas are setting people’s beds on fire!”  Oh wait, that is basically…

That is my takeaway, doing a hundo into a pole and realizing “oh snap, I gotta book it” is impressive. I imagine in a number of cars, especially from just a few years back, you would be liquefied.

It really has to do with the fact that driving at 100mph takes hyper focus and quick in reaction times and those are the last things you are when baked.

This story makes me suspect that I was lied to as a kid. I thought potheads drove like this.

I learned from another car review that if the manufacturer puts in the divider, then they don’t have to install a child release latch.

and possibly... features

The Tesla and some other electric cars use massive banks of a standardized “18650" Li-Ion battery. Similar batteries are packaged together in many laptops and other electronic devices.

It’s a classic Hash ‘n Smash ... ‘n Dash.

“the driver, Dylan Milota, was able to escape on foot before being caught three blocks away and taken to a hospital.”

So, not weird things as much as... quirks?

You don’t often encounter a wreck so bad that it causes fires and floods AT THE SAME TIME.

“Ah yes, the good old Wake and Bake. Seen it, covered it.”
