    Sports BEVs

    Not sure if this has been posted, I've seen a few Russian review of the Zeekr FR, and it goes head to head with the Tesla Plaid, while clearly having much better materials and build quality, and more affordable price. I am not a fan of EVs to put it lightly, but the Chinese are serious about...

    Tesla - Brand Perception/Opinions

    ^ Wait until EVs are more mainstream, and there aren't enough chargers, and people are fighting over them. Right now you may have a few nasally voiced soyboys in their expensive Teslas and Rivians getting into arguments that stay civil, but imagine when EVs and EV chargers reach into...

    This pretty much nails it. I've always said EVs are only suitable as a secondary car for wealthy suburbanities, and they are what, 5% of the population in the US?

    Facelifted BMW X7

    The cars are controversial, but the ones in the video have been horribly molested. The soundtrack makes it even worse.

    Dogs bark, but the caravan moves on. It is hilarious how Telsa haters and Tesla fanboys have become equally pathetic in their derangement.

    LEXUS INTRODUCES THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF THE LEXUS LUXURY YACHT, LY680

    Still, they should've used their own engines, or at least source them from Yamaha.

    It is good PR for the bakery, according to your article they are slammed with business. As far as waiting a few month to get paid by Tesla, thats the norm when doing business with big corporations.

    Mercedes-Benz beefs up combustion engine line-up

    This was easy to predict, lol. Meanwhile, is Douchewagen still going ahead with renaming itself to Voltswagen?

    Tesla - Brand Perception/Opinions

    First, I'd like to confirm this story is not a load of bs, or worse yet, not someone attempting to scam the bakery using Tesla's name. If the story checks out, I doubt very much Elon, or anyone relevant within Tesla, is even aware. The Tesla employee responsible for placing and cancelling the...

    Tesla - Brand Perception/Opinions

    In the US there are different issues with diesels that made me regret ever buying them. Any type of service, even the basic annual inspection, was always a headache. Most repair shops don't do diesel inspections, so it was either a specialty shop with long waits, or the dealer - so a quick 30...

    Tesla - Brand Perception/Opinions

    Fair enough, although it still doesn't seem like a direct diesel incentive, more of a low-co2-emission incentive, which would also favor petrol hybrids. This is not as blatant as incentives for EVs and restrictions on petrol cars we are seeing today. I remember visiting Paris back in 2010 - the...

    There were no direct incentives for diesel, quite the opposite, governments in the EU and the US became hostile to diesels by mandating prohibitive emissions systems. Older diesels provided substantially better fuel economy vs petrol, so 14% of buyers worldwide were willing to accept many...

    Diesels also didn't have incentives, weren't fleet purchased by municipalities, and there were no restrictions on petrol cars, carbon credits, etc. Diesels were crap and failed on their own merit. EVs are worse than diesel for the most part, they are only suitable as a second/commuter car for...
