It’s one thing to try to make a sale happen- I get that -but it’s another entirely to try to separate a couple and pressure the one you view as more malleable or less savvy into signing paperwork, lie to her, put fake paperwork between us and a test drive, and CONTINUE to force the sale on a car that isn’t even what…

One note worth adding- Normally for test drives its polite to call ahead or even make an appointment. We called ahead everywhere we went- only Volvo and Mazda wanted to make appointments, everywhere else just told us to stop by whenever. It was a Tuesday or a Wednesday we had taken off to go car shopping specifically…

Roll up to a Honda dealer in Phoenix…

I feel like I’m reading about obscure easter-eggs in an RPG.

The huge orbital cloud of debris would help with global warming, though! A literal silver lining!

Look, I mean... middle managers gotta middle manage. If you don’t put statistics on something, how do you know if you’re getting better?
But seriously, this shit explains why ever new character feels like they’re soullessly checking a box.

“Alright designers, we’ve gotta hit our Gay quota for the month, and our average…

How else will you put them on display in super public hearings covered voraciously by every media outlet for weeks so that they can be idolized by some other incel shitstick radicalized by meme forums? It’s basic job security.

https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ claims we’ve had almost 200 so far.

The front end on the ‘13 is a littttle better. Still not great. Other than that, with the running boards, I actually really like the look of it as a whole. It’s fantastic to drive and the interior is amazing. I think anyone who would pay MSRP for it was a nut, and I suppose that’s why it’s ended up being more rare…

I daily a ZDX and absolutely love it. Totally underrated, IMO.

Where I think these would really shine is return trips from other bodies. Its hard to generate fuel for a rocket on another planet and it especially sucks to pack it along in the initial journey, but its pretty easy by comparison to generate electricity. Even less energy would be required given less air resistance and…

$100 says its microplastics.

Nikola has Badger prototypes in their lobby that look better than this on close inspection. I feel like if Tesla can’t even afford to match Nikola’s showcar vaporware, they’re really stretched. If there’s one place you should be able to nail some panel gaps, its on the super expensive, one-off, hand-built prototype.

It’s amazing working with people that don’t have a lot of wrenching or tinkering experience and watching them try to catch or fumble stuff when they drop it, usually kicking it across the room to never be found again. Or one guy I worked with who would pound his fist in frustration on the nearest metal object as a…

I’d be interested to know if Car+Driver had the vehicles fully charged, too. At the 80% charge you’re supposed to keep the cars for most operation, regenerative braking may have helped.

The NHTSA released their ruling a few weeks ago, so they’re technically already legal! That being said, there are some finer points of the rulings and some things that aren’t exactly 1:1 between the US and ECE standards. It probably wont be enabled on any existing cars, but I’d bet that 2023 model-years that had it in…

It’s fully electric (boogie woogie woogie) and fly-by-wire so I would go for a flight-sim yoke. You could control the throttle/brake with the pitch axis.

Better business case than LM ever had for it!

They should! They were capable of full manual operation.

I hope your commute doesn’t require speeds over 20mph or the desire to be seated comfortably while operating it! I also hope you’ve always dreamed of operating a vehicle by Atari Joystick!
