Given the probable result of no regulation, I’ll take the loopholes that allow 36.7 of 37.7 to be achieved - roughly 98% of the intended goal.

Saw the shots of it in pre restored condition and fell in love. Why does my taste in cars have to be for the obsenely rare? Or an Opel GT with air conditioning. I think that’s more achievable - and suitable for Texas summers.

Simple solution here.

No, the answer is the Nikola Tesla Motor Company. Tagline: “Not endorsed or affiliated with Nikola Motor Company or Tesla Motor Company, but better so please give us your moneys.”

I nearly bought a Holden Commodore with the L27 variant. Until I took the car for an extended test drive and, as the oil warmed, i could hear horrendous valve train noise.

Welcome to jalopnik: the site where the first instinct of the commentariat (after being informed of the driver’s survival) is to determine what vehicle model was involved - and whether mourning is appropriate.

Please actually describe why, in your opinion, it’s not a beta. You’ve made a statement but I can’t see anywhere you’ve actually discussed the rationale - beyond stating that it is a road ready and final version.

In your example, you have a completed product which is operating as designed - and not subject to change due to identified bugs. And an idiot with missing finger tips.

But it is beta - just a public one. The fact they are pushing updates out regularly to patch holes confirms that.

And thus there is the term ‘public beta’. It implies that there is an initial version of the software available which is subject to error in the code. What Tesla is doing is make it very clear to everyone that this is not a final release product. It is a version of software that is stable, but may not perform…

Follow up pedantic response: the USA never formally allied with the UK and France during the war.

Hate to be pedantic, (edit: but apparently I will be) but Russia fought in WW1.

Because Ferrari logo on top.

You misunderstand - they realised they could reduce weight and increase complexity by using the sound piping as an air intake.

I picked up a rough running CV with 74000 miles for $2k. Some new coils, oil and plugs and I was rolling in an almost new 14 year old car. Ice cold AC, and that sweet, sweet, motion sickness inducing body roll. All in it was $2200.

Most Americans I know like space around their legs for some reason. For me, a fiesta is large enough at 5 11. But I use the close door and console to brace my legs and upper body - driving my crown vic when I had it with any sort of aggression meant sliding all over the place.

You can take away my horsepower, but you can never take away my sirloin!

If you don’t tear up the good ones, everyone will realize just how shitty all the others are.

In Australia, I occasionally rode 30km (20miles) each way to work.

I’d like to posit the theory that the safest vehicles are brown, diesel, manual, volvo wagons from the 80s. If everyone drove such a vehicle, the risk of a high speed collision is effectively zero.
