Will Tesla dominate the semi truck market?
>>28893603the 500 mile range is with max trailer weight
>>288935012 more weeks
>>28893534thats just consumer price, enterprise and retail electrical price is cheaper
>>28893628>Truckers have to take a 45min break every 4.5h in Europe so you can use that for charging.>US is apparently only 30min per 8h so it's less practical.Now you can lobby for workers rights and conditions, more breaks = charging timeIt'll also make Americans feel safer on the roads knowing their truckers are well rested...
>>28893836>are well rested...They already are. They're methheads.
Moving to Portland soon. What's the car scene like in the pacific nw?
>>28891753>wealth flees>million dollar houses still selling after being on the market for 15 seconds
>>28891360too many god damn fucking mexicans.(and by mexicans, i mean squats who speak spanish, and spanish only.)
>>28891975>he thinks people aren't leaving pdx for the couve in droveskek ok mitch
>>28891753>have never seen that in 25 years here. unless by fast you mean 10 under the limitIt's weird here in Central Oregon. People go slow as hell on 97 and roads in the middle of town, but the second you get on the faster 45-55mph roads around the edges they drive like absolute psychopaths. A lot of people here are also habitual tailgaters regardless of situation or speed, they just seem to think one car length is an appropriate following distance at 80mph.
>>28891360Portland drivers are ok for the most part, but they truly don’t know how four-way stops and right-of-ways work and I’ve never seen anything quite like it elsewhere. >>28891994>Bitch GreenThe council is so fucking shit. I don’t know if it could ever be fixed at this point.
Until last year when I seen someone driving one of these (not this particular model) I was completely unaware of their existence. Why do convertible SUVs exist? What possible purpose can this god awful gay "push my stool in brent" looking shit serve?I never before wanted to drag someone out of a car and beat them to death simply for driving their car and minding their own business until I seen this. Surely only women own these right?
>>28893693They can be pretty cool though
its rebadged last-gen ford escape
>>28893693Dunno, it ain't my cup of tea.I do remember the first time that I saw a T-Roc cabriolet, some pensioner was cruising around with the top down. It looked dumb, but in a good way.
What does /o/ think about primer gray?
>>28889867It's a ricer color
>>28889867
>>28889867would look better on the NEW Integra
>>28889867It's always hated on, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as fleet-spec NPC white. I rarely actually see these "nardo" or "battleship" gray cars IRL, whereas every last Santa Fe, Corolla, X5 and Model 3 is always white. Not even that classy pearlescent white you used to see, either.
>>28889867About as dull and bad as the house behind it with that sad landscaping.
Fuck this war
Bump because Jannies nuked the other two generals
>>28875996No such problem for high MPG econobox chads, SUV/truck cucks on suicide watch>>28876374This, everyone says they want a cheap, fast, reliable car but EVs are LE BAD!
>He missed out on the $7,500 tax credit.KEEEEEKKWABKWABOTYKWABNADO
>>28892752jokes on you i dont make enough to deduct that much in taxeshaha
>>28875996People went out for a little walk today. I'm expecting the entire administration to resign in shame and the war to end
Do they make reliable cars by now? I bought a Stellantis EV before I knew about their reputation. It hasn't arrived yet but I'm scared.
>>28888735Get leather shoes. What are you going to do a kick flip?
>>28882976All of those brands had problems before the formation of stellantis, I doubt that's changed.
>>28889239If Stellantis wanted to survive, they'd have kept improving the Giorgio platform and learned to share some fucking parts around
>>28882976They have like one of the worst reliability ratings in the industry. Get something Japanese like Toyota or Mazda.
>>28882976>EV
Imagine making a supercar with a 3.3 l 660 hp V12 made of 3 1100 cc 220 hp bike V4s
>>28892484Here's a sub 1300lb car with 2x bike engines, and you're telling me adding 180lb to 1300 will be more than 1500?https://www.kitcar-trader.co.uk/mk-sportcars-for-sale/mk-indy-zx10r2Fucking dumbass retard, try researching shit before you embarrass yourself yeah?
>>28893224Youre a dumbfuck.Nothing you've posted has proven my math incorrect.
>>28893237OK retard. Keep believing 1300 + 180 is more than 1500
>>28893365nta you'd probably have to add more than 20lbs of structure to fit the third engine in there. not that it wouldn't improve your power to weight ratio
>>28893365How fucking stupid are you?When did I ever mention 1300 or 1500?
What's better a belt or a chain?
>>28893569Gear driven cams
>>28893569Chain as long as it's a sensibly designed chain system.
>>28893569On a Euro car I would take a belt any day. Their chain systems are often 100k miles max life due to various poor designs, and two major companies, BMW and Audi, have their chains on the back of the engine. A belt system lasts 100k miles and is way easier to change.
You do downshift before you approach red light to increase engine braking effectiveness, right?
>>28890070but have you considered that its fun
>>28890183not with this baby *slaps tin of hammerite*
>>28889968You downshift to minmax your driving """"""""effectiveness""""""""", i downshift to hear my engine noise. We are not the same
>>28889968You can if you want to.
>>28893476Cool and all, but who asked?
The FWDCHAD vs. the virgin rwdcuck. l
>>28893321needs a FWD with rear engine
>>28893321What, you think a RWD can't oversteer into a corner too?
>>28893321Not impressed by his understeer
>>28893321Based
You *NEED* more
>>28887443AWD "drifting" doesn't count.
>>28884396I first it was gonna be the usual boomer crashing his Corvette, but this was cool as fuck.
>>28884074I need less, I take me bike.
>>28890540My point is it looks like he's been having a good session while probably making himself an absolute menace to every normie in the parking lot

Imagine Suzuki Capuccino with Turbo Hayabusa engine swap
>>28893298Why not. You will start with an engine to the left needing mounts and an adaptor to the drivetrain. A non turbo engine will make your life easier, you can always pep it up once it becomes boring.
>>28893298What about reverse gear?
>>28893367With something that small you just stick a foot out and give it a push.
>>28893367Small electric motor for reverse?
>>28893448Honda had a doohickey on the Goldwings that let you reverse with the starter motor.
The urge to buy a YZ 250 is real.. talk me out of it, bros. I’ve had 250 2 strokes before, and every time I’ve concluded they’re too much power for me to fully enjoy. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love 2 strokes- the power and simplicity, but it’s just not practical.. Talk me into an old Suzuki DR, or a Yamaha TT or something I can enjoy on and off road.
>>28892808Are you always having to do repairs?
>>28892874No, but I am always doing preventative maintenance. Luckily most everything it needs I am able to do with a Leatherman, sometimes on the trail. It’s a 40 year old motorcycle that’s been dogged on damn near every day of its life. I’d say it’s got like a 10 to 1 ratio on riding and wrenching. So for every 10 hours I ride, I probably spend an hour going through it. Sometimes thats split up too, like i might spend 15 minutes checking stuff every 2 hours. Tightening bolts, checking fluid levels, tire pressure, etc. a lot of oem parts are no longer available, so some stuff on it is just like, cheap Chinese universal shit I’ve had to make work, like the brake levers and reservoirs. Luckily the important mechanical parts are still available because this bike was made for a very long time. It’s fucking bad ass though. Kick start only, it’s had the same dead battery in it for 10 years, doesn’t even matter. These things were really built to last, and they have. The new stuff can’t hold a candle to it. It literally just needs love. If you just want to beat the snot out of it until it’s in the dirt get a KLX300, or a DR-Z. I keep saying if my Yamaha ever blows up I’ll go out and find a pristine late model version of the XT350, but realistically, it’s never going to die lol
>>28892564Unless you're a competitive rider it's so lame to care that much about performance. Dual sports may not be perfect but they're practical. I can ride on the road to get to my favourite offroad spots and then get back home.
>>28892905I gotcha. It is a great looking bike. I’ll look for one, but I’ll probably wind up getting an older Suzuki DR or some Yamaha.Idk much about them (wrenching either), but some guy has an 86 street legal TT for sale on marketplace which is pretty interesting.In terms or dirt bikes, I’ve had Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki. Of those 3 Yamaha was however my favorite.
>>28893440Don’t forget, apparently mango farmers love them. >>28892908
Fuck you, I'm keeping it.
>>28889817its not so much the reliability as much as the 4banger turbos are crude and rough and get terrible fuel economytoyota needs a new clean sheet 2.5L engine design and they won't invest the funds>>28889812no, I have a kia. It theoretically has a drowsy alert but I almost never see or use it. My point is that for the most part the Kia alerts are not intrusive, work as intended, and if you shut them off they don't come back on (like the speed limit chime, for example).
>>28886642The thing in the OP is a prado. You don't get the proper land cruiser at all
>>28886464No, FUCK YOU
>>28892170The 300 series full size Land Cruiser continues to be available in the US with a Lexus badge, just like previous generations.
Anybody else fill up to full tank just before trump got gay with iran?How much you got left? Trying to ration mine through this.
>>28892816>How much you got left? Trying to ration mine through this.Filled to full just before, just tipped past half.I'm lucky in that I can walk to work and not so lazy that I'm incapable of doing so. It's a few miles but the weathers getting nice so it's no skin of my back.
>>28892947>>28893018Euros did similar for longer than us. Over a thousand years. It's normal human behavior to kill sandniggers. The only thing that stopped it is they turned all of their weapons on each other in the last century and killed off just about their young and strong men. Every Euro I'm talking to here is the son of a shopkeeper.
ay don't tell nobody but this shit happening to get the EV sales up man so a little word of advice man don't buy the local brew EV in your in america man it's a trap man ever seen transformers? maaaan nigga we the decepticons man it's all fucked up so watch out man shits about to get ugly in chicago bro
