Enginerd head spin... Crazy how many details that generally never get discussed with real world implications.  I'd love to see how different makes/models compare on some of these things.

Also that suspension is amazing.  Looks like banned F1 tech from a long time ago

Came on way too strong and too fast without doing their homework. And now they have to walk it back.

Quote from: Morris Minor on April 05, 2024, 08:45:55 AMI would not have believed this 18 months ago but now we're dipping our toes into the realm of embodied AI, I now think autonomous, or close to it, is achievable.

It is also achievable that I build a rocket and take it to the moon.  It's achievable, and possible, but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

You can thank the Hertz CEO for driving Polestar prices into oblivion :lol:

He gave up his job for you!

It was spelled "Galaxie" for some reason and IMO would have been a better name.

Quote from: CaminoRacer on April 03, 2024, 09:29:33 AMThe Polestar's belt line is a bit high (especially in person) but otherwise a very clean design.

I wish Ford would have called the Mach E a Fusion or Galaxy instead, and toned down the Mustang details. It'd look much better without some of the forced Mustang stuff.

YES.

I can't understand why they wanted to alienate a bunch of long-term fans to try to market a new vehicle. They had ALL the car names available:
-Fusion
-Taurus
-Galaxy
-Probe
-Escort :lol:
-Flex
