'21 M3 starts at $70K- inapplicable in a test of "$50K sports sedans". FWD-based M235i is BMW's entry in this segment, for better... or in this case; worse.

In reading the subjective ratings, it looks like the bmw falls into the 'lease appliance' on a lot of categories that have zero to do with which wheels are driven.

^ Slant 6 banger with 'Hyper-Pack'. 'Real' NASCAR cars had around 425 HP / 175 MPH by '64.

I don't know how fast the C-60 was going in that '61 race, but the '60 Daytona pole winner lapped at 149.9 MPH. By '64, it was up to 174.9 MPH. Driver only received a "minor spinal injury".

So if it's a "prototype"... then I assume Amazon hasn't, actually, "taken" it and is using it for deliveries. If correct, what a strangely-worded story. -

When you say ‘first’, does that literally mean Rivian built 1? -
TESLA is dreaming of big profits. Couple quarters in the black doesn't come close to erasing the billions lost to date.

Too clean = no work being done. ?

Apparently I was thinking about the '21 F-150's onboard generator, because the press pic of that shows (4) 110V plugs and a 240V plug operating ... but that's on the hybrid IC F-150. That pic shows a lot more draw than just 1 tool... but that's a completely different scenario. It'll be interesting to see how the EV F-150 is set up in comparison to this. -

AN EV work truck presents an interesting sub-category; EV passenger vehicles only expend their energy operating the vehicle / driving. Here, with the electrical outlets to power a hundred different power draws creates a true unknown WRT remaining vehicle range. IE; drive your model 3 to work, you have a possibility of charging it while you're in your cube. Drive an EV pickup to a site where there's commonly no charger, plug in a bunch of tools, work all day.... how much is left to drive back home is something that's going to be of concern. -

Original window sticker for a highly-optioned '68 GTO. All those line items, from number 351 to the final one are INDIVIDUAL options, independent of each other (in 97% of the case). Back when truly 'bespoke' cars were built.

I have the Safety Buzzer on my B-59. It's a handy safety item, IMO. You don't have to 'disable' it, you simply set it at it's max and you're less likely to engage it : ^ For folk who want to go 105, but not 110. :D
