Android is "less than half" of the phone market? When exactly did that happen? Last time I checked, Android phones had about 75% of the global market.

Looks small on the road compared to other vehicles. I guess that was the intention, but too bad it isn't a little bigger.

Here's a secret most people don't know: Lockers aren't the best thing to have in all off-road situations. Far better is an eLSD that has the ability to fully lock. This is what all off-road vehicles should have over lockers.

No, it was a thing long before EVs. Roll racing became popular to give RWD (or even FWD) vehicles a chance against AWD vehicles. It also be and a thing to better compare pulling power between two RWD cars by taking out traction issues from a dead stop. I've never liked roll racing because it...

Pointless? Hardly. If you want to go fast , that's not the right Corvette. You want a ZR1X, the AWD 1250 HP car that beats a Model S Plaid in drag racing and any other performance contest.

I'm on Rivian's side here. It's a crappy situation for sure, but at the end of the day the vehicle was badly damaged and insurance is going to pay out roughly the value of the vehicle, not the value of a brand new replacement. I remember in 2019 my 2-year-old Jeep was rear ended and totaled...

Honestly, almost never. Most people, including myself, who have worked on cars professionally have never actually witnessed a vehicle fall off a lift. I've only seen it happen in pictures/videos online, never once in real life. But never once in any shop that I've worked. The level of...

Yeah, buying any new car just because of rising gas prices rarely makes any sense. But I guess we'll see how high the prices get and how long they'll stay high. Could be a long time, you never know.

I agree with what was written in the article. For gas prices to truly have an impact on EV sales, we'd need to see massive and prolonged price increases. What we've seen so far is a few weeks of increases and ultimately about a dollar rise in prices. That's not going to move the needle. Why...

Do you really think we'll see a $25k EV that is similarly equipped to a $50k ICEV? Because right now, it's more the opposite. If EVs get to half the price compared to ICEV, then they'd sell like hotcakes. I just don't see that happening.

I thought 10 gallons per minute was the standard for gas pumps. I know that I fill my 5 gallon gas cans in way less than a minute at my local gas station. I'd say it's probably about 30 seconds or so....which seems to align with the 10 gallon per minute rate.

Personally, I'd never wait that long to get gas unless I had no other choice. You'd really need a long line of cars in front of you for that kind of wait time. Gas pumps are good for about 10 gallons per minute, so the average car is done in less than 2 minutes. The rest of the 4 minute average...

And it goes very fast. Average fill time for ICE is about 4 minutes and Costco fills two cars at the same time on each line. I've never waited more than 10 minutes to get gas there.

I think people really don't understand how cheap gas is now, especially when you consider adjusting for inflation. We're spoiled with cheap gas prices.

Gas at the pumps is up about 45 cents here since the War started. And really, it's still cheap overall.
