  1. Knock off the blockchain Elon

    There are many ways to profit if you *know* the market is going down. If you're Tesla, one of the ways you know the market goes down is if you know the boss is going to talk shit about one of your assets in public. Tesla is what's known as a "whale" in investment slang...

  2. Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    Existing EVs are not marketed to those who tow, even though some Tesla models are rated for light towing. People with heavy towing needs aren't buying Model Xs by mistake, and then switching back. This may change with the onslaught of EV pickup trucks and large SUVs. But none of plugin tow...

  3. Tesla is taking gas cars off the road in huge numbers through trade-ins

    The chart in the article is a measure of what car dealers call "conquest sales", not a measure of displaced ICE vehicles. Where does it say these cars are being taken off the road? Most cars are resold and put back on the road after being traded in, and the dealer makes a profit. Tesla would...

  4. Cadillac is going electric – every new vehicle will be all-electric starting now

    My first brand-experience with BMW was being cut off by reckless BMW drivers on the Capital Beltway as a new driver. It's a first-impression that's been hard to shake over the 25 years since. I don't bring it up much because the BMW fans like to fight for the status they thought they bought...

  5. Cadillac is going electric – every new vehicle will be all-electric starting now

    That's great for their target demographic! TIL I'm not part of Cadillac's target demographic.

  6. Toyota Developing Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine

    My wannabe-EV-truck sounds like a 5000lb electric drill when I pull away from a traffic light sometimes. It's kinda thematic for a pickup truck to sound like a power tool, I suppose. Certainly puts a smile on my face! Until the ol' V8 fires up and then I remember I'm not living in the future...

  7. Toyota Developing Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine

    Burning hydrogen in an ICE is the obvious and easy way to use hydrogen fuel. It's *much* cheaper and easier than using fuel cells, at least based on the eye-popping prices I saw the last time I tried to shop for fuel cells for one of my paper design design exercises. BUT that doesn't address...

  8. Cadillac is going electric – every new vehicle will be all-electric starting now

    I've thought Cadillac should have announced this in the 2012-2015 timeframe. When Cadillac was chasing BMW, they brought engineers to a marketing fight. They built a car that drove like a BMW (the ATS-V), but nobody cared -- because BMW drivers seem to be ultimately to be interested in...

  9. When Do We Start Seeing Some Weird EV Designs?

    Some minivans already have cafe seating, where the 5 rear-seat passengers face each other. It seems like a good idea, but it hasn't really caught on. I also like the Canoo concepts (especially the truck), but I'm in the wait-and-see camp when it comes to full-FSD. I'll wait and see is FSD is...

  10. GMC shows off Hummer EV “CrabWalk” feature in real-world conditions

    The people who own the old GM Quadrasteer vehicles seem to like them. But, like the GM 2-Mode Hybrid, Quadrasteer never caught on. Also, like the 2-Mode hybrid system, it's probably something where you have to have significant seat-time in the vehicle to see the benefits -- which makes it hard...

  11. When Do We Start Seeing Some Weird EV Designs?

    EVs look less different than I expected, due to the front crumple zone. EVs don't really need the hood to hold the engine, but they still need the crumple zone which would otherwise have enclosed the engine. As a result they don't look as different as I'd expected. Not a big deal, and the CT...

  12. JAPAN HAS ITS OWN REASONS FOR NOT TRANSITIONING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES

    Making the Prius obsolete is a great thing. But it's a pretty high bar, though, in my experience. What you're missing is that the Prius is an excellent vehicle for those of us who depend on our vehicles for our economic survival. We don't care how it looks, or how fast it goes. It needs to...

  13. Fiery deaths?

    The two men in the Texas crash had to circumvent several safety measures in order for the car to continue driving without someone in the driver's seat:

  14. JAPAN HAS ITS OWN REASONS FOR NOT TRANSITIONING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES

    The Prius had a higher initial cost, but a lower TCO over 12 years. That thing was a cockroach. I nerded out over it's internals, but the only thing I ever got to replace over 12-years of ownership was the shifter-joystick. It had alignment pegs. Part of the reason it's so reliable is that...

  15. JAPAN HAS ITS OWN REASONS FOR NOT TRANSITIONING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES

    We owned a Prius for 12 years, and it was an excellent car. It was definitely an owner's care rather than a driver's car. It started every morning, and saved us on fuel and repair bills. Yes, it sounds like you stepped on a kitten when you lay the hammer down, but we drove it all over the...

  16. This site has affected my thought processes – not necessarily for the better

    When I warn my tween son about online communities, I mention this one. Pretty much every adult he knows has warned him about the scary stuff that can happen, but I point out that even relatively positive communities like this one can nudge your behavior. For instance, on this one, everyone is...

  17. Tesla Is Still The EV Reference But Toyota’s Close, Says Cargurus

    Toyota's built a green-car reputation based on their introduction of hybrid cars like the Prius. As someone who really liked owning a Prius, I'll point out that Toyota has chosen to refine and deploy hybrid drivetrains at the expense of advancing EV drivetrains. At this point in history, there...

  18. Maximizing MPGs w/o spending Arms and Legs

    I learned the hard way to stay on the Interstates in Florida. I received a ticket while braking for a red light after a semi-hidden speed-limit sign on a 4-lane US Highway in rural Florida. The terms of the ticket were as follows: If you show up in court to challenge the ticket and and lose...

  19. GMC shows off Hummer EV “CrabWalk” feature in real-world conditions

    At least it's electric! It can't roll coal. We all win when more EVs are on the road.

  20. Tesla owner with Mustang Mach-E reports threats on social media from Tesla fans

    Yeah, I drove my GMC (AKA Chevy) Hybrid pickup truck over to the Ford dealer the other night and asked them if I could drive a Ford hybrid pickup truck, because I wanted to see how much Ford could improve on what I already have. If I can bridge the Ford/Chevy divide, surely the Tesla...
