Nonsense. Of course they’re real and ready to go into widespread service. Why, here’s a picture of one already ferrying famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to a glamorous event:

I’ll call that an upgrade from just having a person drive a Tesla there, a guy in a robot suite pretending to be a robot, or Elon smashing the bullet proof windows on stage. At least this time the vaporware will remain vapor. 

I bet it’ll have one of these guys.

Some drums of oil is not hazardous waste, this was a car company, of course there is a bit of that. Have the lawyers figure out who owns it all, either it is the auction company or someone who will quickly engage an auction company. Let the auction happen. Hire a few temps, bring in a scrap metal dumpster, a normal…

Eh. I’d have trashed the place worse than that.

“Bill, before we land, did you turn off the parking brake?”

A coworkers F350 has a negative effect on road safety, pedestrian safety, air quality, gas prices and massively increases foreign policy costs, as fuel dependence leads to military incursions overseas.

What a shock to see Hybla Valley on Jalopnik today. They just lowered the speed limit to 35mph on a good part of that stretch, but a lot of people still go breakneck speeds on that road. For everything north of where that photo was taken, especially inside The Beltway, minicars would be a much more efficient way to…

That Smart isn’t actually hitched up to the boat. :) Just a silly photo op that Smart owners love to do. The best hitch for a Smart is good for just 2,000 pounds of trailer and 200 pounds of tongue weight. You bet if that boat were really hitched up that poor car would be doing a wheelie. lol

I’m the farthest thing from a police apologist but this is simply irresponsible reporting. He wasn’t shot because he was running from evading a fair, he was shot because when confronted about the fair he came after cops with a knife.

Look at the books little Tammy is holding - way past her reading level.

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the…

Exactly. Buying power has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY since the 80's. (Thanks Ronald Reagan!) Inflation continues to outpace wages at rampant pace. There’s a reason my parents could afford 2 new cars, a mortgage on a nice home and provide for 4 children, including yearly vacations, on 1 mailman salary. I make roughly the…

The US census from 2022 says median household income was nearly $75,000 where are you getting your number from? 

For sure...but even if they had hybrid versions of the Rogue, I don’t think it would have moved the needle. 

Have we confirmed that the new Z is an actual thing and not some AI-created hallucination that just exists on the internet? Because I’ve never actually seen one in the real world.

Maybe the last two will help, but  I don’t think the development costs of selling dozens of us manual cars is going to help them at all.

Nissan could possibly turn things around:

I think we are overthinking this. It’s so obvious a caveman can see it. “Nissan no sell many car, because Nissan car no good.” They got comfy making crappy cars that their dealers would then push to sell to anyone with a pulse that could qualify for a 14% apr 86 month loan. This has been their MO for decades, there is…

When someone says I need reliable transportation for multiple people for less than $10k without regard for much else, the answer is pretty much always ‘the best Toyota you can afford.’ The big issues with the new turbo-V6s may even help cut down the Toyota tax a bit on the old reliable models.
