Eh. Thats not as great a feature as you’d think. It can be wonky because it relies on having to have the wifi connection on your device. I never use it in any vehicle its equipped with. Thats just me though.  Read more

They aren’t literally on freeway cleanup. They sit behind Caltrans workers and vehicles while they cleanup the freeway. Read more

To be fair, he did just start the job this February. So most of these arrests and cases happened before he was on the job. Read more

The thing about high-tech European luxury cars is that they are glorious when they work, but are deeply irritating to drive when things are broken. Features end up broken, there is all manner of rattles, and the dashboard and IP are often lit up like a NASA launch panel, because they’re crybaby-ass cars. After a few Read more

I think they’ll go the route they do with the Silverado and the 6.2: recommend 91 but not require it. Having this thing run premium fuel only would turn off too many buyers, especially fleet. Read more

Thats a Honda Passport sir, aka Isuzu Rodeo.

Nope. At least they haven’t made a mention of it yet. For now it looks like you’re going to have to be ok with the CR-V Hybrid or the Prologue if you want an EV. Read more

Yea typo sorry! There’s only three trims for each Prius variant. Read more

Not sure where you saw that at but each Prius variant gets just three trims. The Prime just comes in SE, XSE and XSE Premium trims. Read more

I voted no as well. Im with you on the need for more public transit. But I voted against it because I don’t think the government should be subsidizing EV purchases. They say it was mostly to help low income people afford EVs, but they said the same thing before with the tax credit. And upper income earners were the Read more

Yea it made no sense to me either. It caught me off guard how Newsom pretty much went against the very thing he’s been pushing for...what? The framing of this being specifically beneficial to Lyft and Uber made no sense to me. Read more

Sorry. As an avid COD player I gotta chime in here and say that this is actually great. Half the things in most battle passes I dont even care for or use. So allowing me to progress through only the things I’m interested in sounds great. Read more

I’d take this over a Model S just off build quality alone. You cant really compare the Porsche and the i7 though as they’re for different buyers. They’re both EVs, but the Taycan is the drivers EV. Its for the buyer that wants to go fast and be seen and doesnt care how far they have to go. Read more

Also, I take it they still haven’t implemented a button that kills all interior lights except the speedo? Strange how tiny Saab got that right decades ago and the others still haven’t learned. Read more

Yea a rear view mirror with a live camera feed isn’t offered at all, which I found crazy at the price point this thing is at and having a theater feature like that that can be used while driving. Read more

So thats the downside of these things. There’s no performance upgrades whatsoever. Its all visual. So whatever Charger or Challenger model the special edition is based on it just gets the same engine as the regular one. Read more

Auto Car is wrong. We got our info directly from Stellantis. Unless it’s coming later, no four or all wheel drive option was mentioned in their release. Read more
