I always figured that Tesla was just going to copy those Japanese utility trucks, make them more “future-y”, then stick the battery in the bottom and call it a day.

“Is it because of Trump?”

Look, I’m just a normal guy like you. I just happen to take the gas-mileage, cargo capacity, transmission, engine type, fuel type, trip distance, road quality, ambient temperature and pressure, and 52 other separate factors into determining the automobile that meets my precise needs for a given situation (of which I…

Now those are different cases.  If both cars are out of go juice, it’s significantly easier to remediate in an ICE car.

The gas equivalent of this car would be a whiny POS.

If you need to explain the joke, then it’s not funny. If you need to explain why it’s convenient, then it’s not.

How many people actually keep a small tank of gas for this purpose?

Worst case scenario time:

Neutral: When it comes to crossovers, it’s not about taste; it’s about practicality. EVs still aren’t practical for most people to own. Why should I spend $35,000+ to get a Model Y that needs time to charge when I can pick up a CR-V for $10k less that is ready to go when my spawn is late for soccer or is bleeding…

How loud are these bikes? I feel that a E-bike race would be almost hilariously quiet.

Yo Jalopnik, how do I submit hot tips? Harley Davidson just bought like a little girls electric scooter company:

To make switching out executives easy. If a CEO is failing, and needs to be thrown out, it helps prevent lawyers from being involved and lets the transfer happen more quickly.  This presumably saves more money for the business as a whole even if they have to give the bum a handout while they kick him out the door.

At this point I think Amazon just sobered up.

5th Gear: This is why nobody cares when Jalopnik panics over gas prices, btw

And if you want to use fossil fuels (or nuclear) for those plants, that’s fine. But you’re going to need to install waaaaaaaay more renewables to hope to meet demand if EVs gain mass acceptance (and hope that someone makes a ginourmous breakthrough in battery tech since most of those EVs will be plugged in at night).

Gah, you’re right.  My bad.

Meh, I call shenanigans on the report (Bloomberg is always bullish on EVs). It presumes a much higher capacity of renewables, but it ignores predicted electrical output between renewables and fossil fuels (a 1 GW capacity gas turbine will generate more electricity in a day than a 1 GW capacity solar plant). Combined…

I can guarantee that watching Michael Cohen will not help you figure anything out.

Kia apparently implementing the Gillette razor school of design.

Alternatively, you could just watch 9 hours of puppies playing here:
