Well what else do you want? Other than some buttons for AC on the center console.

Yes, but their point is that concept cars are just that, concepts, they’re not designed for production or regs so the version we get is usually way more bland than the concept. There are a few exceptions where the vision of the concept car makes it into production, but 95% of the time the real thing is bland af.

This does not apply to limited production cars that don’t get redesigned to come off an assembly line making 5 other models, such as very expensive cars, loss-making models produced for homogulation, fleet regulations, or flexing purposes

Probably, but I wouldn’t overstate it, like there aren’t cars driving at speed on sidewalks, but its not like western countries where cars simply don’t drive or park in sidewalks. Bicycles and escooters still drive however they like, which imo is fine, since they’re so much less dangerous than cars, but it is different from further north. Its a but of a transition when you go further north and remember you’re not supposed to walk or ride your bike across moving traffic.

Motorcycles are banned outright, which is bullshit.

Heres a cat I saw last night:

Guangzhou isn’t that bad, have you been there recently?

I learned to ride in Hanoi, I spent a year in various parts of vietnam and was very comfortable in SEA traffic on a bike.

None of that prepared me for the chaos of HCMC. People going the wrong way, people visibly drunk on bikes, randomly finding yourself surrounded by semis on cracked and broken pavement, you and 20 other bikes making offroad detours to get around cars.

Sorry, your bot is in another data center.

People downvoting this inconvenient truth the same ones who accuse others of being propagandists.

Biden implementing Trump’s dogshit policies is good actually

-lemmy libs downvoting you, probably

It was fine when all cylinders felt like firing.

Nobody would say “I wouldn’t buy a Cybertruck, they’re so cheap”, if they did, you’d probably go “Haha they’re like 6 figures new!”, thinking the person assumed that because Teslas look cheap they actually are.

It does, and its not a plugin.

Tldr, the ICE engine produces barely enough torque to move the car from a standstill while producing enough hp to charge the batteries, and letting the much more powerful electric engines do the work, whereas previous hybrids don’t go all-in on efficiency, letting the engine provide an appreciable amount of torque to the wheels.

An expensive product can’t be cheap. It can be cheaply made, but a cheap expensive thing is an oxymoron.

Assuming you’re esl:

Cheap doesn’t mean low quality, it means low price, which can imply low quality, but it doesn’t work if the thing’s not also cheap.

You could call US cars cheaply-made junk.

Cheap junk?? American cars are very expensive junk.

Say what you want about GM, they didn’t have to put the same V8 into pretty much everything, and now that they don’t, how are teenagers going to get their hands on a 4L V8 so detuned it makes the same power as an engine 1/3 the size for like $4000 that was only ever driven by grandma?

Yes and no? The reason for that marketing is that they can sell pickups and SUVs at way higher margins because they’re seen as luxurious. Because they have higher margins, every non-pickup sold represents a pickup or SUV not sold to the car company and dealerships. This is dumb as shit, but its how business types think.

The SUV version with the same engine gets 50 mpg, but costs 60% more.

Theres a hybrid here in China, Geely Emgrand, that gets 104 mpg hwy and costs 13K USD.

Why do our teeth grow in less perfectly now?
