If you want to see the difference between Tesla engineering and Legacy automaker engineers watch Munro's dissection of the Mach-E cooling system.

All charges have been dropped against the "Tesla killers". A stock Tesla Model S Plaid cannot run on most NHRA tracks without a parachute.....a freaking parachute on a bone stock car. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-tesla-model-s-plaid-first-test-review/

I love my little Nissan van. It was bought originally because we carried a lot of high value camera and sound equipment for shooting movies. It is a cargo van with no rear windows at all. It gets super fuel mileage and is pretty nimble and peppy for a four banger van with front wheel drive. It...

Not even close.

Assuming that Toyota were to actually develop this technology to the point they were rolling them off the assembly line where are they going to get fuel? Nowhere in that fluff piece did I see a distribution system addressed. I doubt if any of the major oil companies will want a competing fuel...

Back in the days of my misspent youth I had a 1970 Torino Cobra. It had the 429 SCJ engine and C-6 automatic transmission. I bought it from a Tennessee state trooper that had ordered it from the factory to run top end. It had a 140 MPH speedometer in it and it would hide the needle very quickly...

It is an unfortunate reality that we have gaggles of worthless trial lawyers that will sue anyone at the drop of a hat. The never go after the little guy, they go after the company with the deep pockets (in this case Tesla). You may remember the case where some idiot bought a huge RV and proceed...

Two thoughts come to mind after reading this thread: (1) You can never idiot proof anything due to Mother Nature's inherent ability to periodically upgrade the common idiot. (2) Artificial Intelligence will never be a match for human stupidity.

Having been a long haul trucker for a large part of my adult life let me look at this from a drivers point of view. I'll give a brief overview of how the trucking industry works for those unfamiliar with it. You have the Owner Operators or "Independent Truckers". These are the guys that...

That voice sounds like what the sound track of an assisted suicide video would sound like.

A lot of people suffer from self-inflicted wounds. I used to collect military vehicles and like EV's the type of people that owned them was diverse. The most annoying people in the MV hobby were those who bought them knowing what they were and then tried to change them to something they were...

Autonomous trucks do not have to fill out electronic log books. They can run 24/7. I just wonder who is going to buy the manufactured goods once most jobs are automated and we have massive unemployment.

Islands are a good place for Alternative Energy since ground transportation is pretty much restricted to the roads there. Unless you are talking about a huge island most EV's could travel for several days on one charge. I would like to see Tesla take a small island and equip as many private and...

This is not a recent trend. I recall a "60 Minutes" segment (younger readers will not get this) that showcased a business owner that moved his factory and most of his workforce from California to Arizona. This was back in the late 70's or early 80's. I can't remember the Arizona city but they...

While I was in college working on my Communications degree I wrote a paper for one of my classes about the railroads and how they were like the DOT COM businesses that sprang up when the computer age took off. After the first transcontinental railroad was built railroad fever took the US by...

I saw my first video commercial for the Mustang Mach-E today while watching Youtube videos so Ford is using mainstream media platforms to pimp the vehicle. I've yet to see a commercial for Tesla so Ford is playing catchup the old fashioned way..........good old advertising. I'm sure all the...

What I got from the article was that if you built massive solar arrays (covered the Sahara desert) then the amount of heat being put into the atmosphere would, at some point in time, equal or surpass the amount of heat being put into the atmosphere by carbon based fuels. This was attributed to...

Well it seems that Alternate Energy (of which I am a big fan and supporter) may not be as benign as it is touted to be. This came across my news feed while I was doing my bathroom reading this morning...

At one time I was a big fan of the Dodge Magnum wagon......I wanted the SRT-8 which had the Hemi engine. My son said it looked too much like a hearse and I told him "yea but it will get you to the graveyard quick". While on vacation I rented one and decided getting in and out of the beast would...

The only problem I have is that Ford bastardized the Mustang name. Not since the "Mustang II" has Ford done such a disservice to the Mustang brand. There has never been a four door Mustang and traditionally high performance vehicles have been two door coupes. There will still be ICE Mustangs...
