Doubtful. One of the reasons a rotary can work well as an RE is that it will run at consistent and optimized RPM and won’t have the reliability and maintenance issues of a normal rotary.

Like it or not, EV’s are the future for the most part. I don’t think I’d buy one as my “drivers car” but it would be a good DD/mile mule.

Fuck, we need tiny off-roaders again like the Suzuki Jimny and the Lada Niva, a small off-roader that is road legal and doesn’t need a trailer to haul from one countryside to another.

Am I the only one here who actually thinks it looks good? The proportions aren’t that far off of a normal hatchback, and unlike the squiggly mess that is most new car designs (cough*Bolt*cough), the lines on the I-Pace are beautifully simple and smooth. The tail end does seem a little tall, but not overbearingly so.

I already have an electric panini that fries my bread completely.

Because its currently 2018

Except that it isn’t. The E Pace is based on the (fwd/4wd) Evoque and has nothing in common with the (rwd/4wd) XE. The name is chosen to tie in with the XE but nothing else.

In nature, we call that “presenting.”

the E pace is based on the XE platform, like how the F Pace rides on the XF platform. the I Pace is on a completely separate platform than those two

...Lack of refueling infrastructure? I thought that was the well-known problem with H2-powered cars?

They’re less energy-efficient overall, too, but that first issue is the big one. Considering the stranglehold Hyundai maintain on the KDM, it’s surprising the Korea’s hydrogen refueling infrastructure is even a bit back

Yeah, hoist by my own petard.

Not me. I had the opportunity to have a Model X 90D for 3 weeks, and I drove it over 1,000 miles over that time and paid pennies to run it that distance (thanks mainly to the Supercharger network). The Trackhawk would have cost me hundreds to drive the same distance in fuel, and wouldn’t have driven any better/worse.

Well, that’ll teach me to watch the video.

Sooo...you didn’t watch? Lemme help they did 4 runs (plus a practice run in the Tesla, and per the video, the supercharger heat soaked and slowed it down, however the Tesla did not overheat to the point of performance retardation.

Note: Not a Tesla fan boy but really not a fan of FCA’s lack of ingenuity with just

It’s definitely a feature, not a bug.

The Italdesign Aztec and the Fiat Multipla were both pretty drunk that night in 1992...

I can’t even hear the problem.

I don’t see the problem.
