@LUDENClassics An interesting car as well and how Italian-Japanese match-ups should always be - Japaneses handle manufacturing, Italians the design. 😁

@GregKable Renault Clio is the same car since 2012 as the current VW Golf that got design tweaks on top of the MK7 generation launched in 2012 as well, both now 14 years old. Not surprisingly the Tesla Model S did last 14 years too. Guess manufacturing got expensive in the last decade. 🤔

Traditional internal combustion engine model life cycles are getting longer and longer as the cost of electric vehicle development bites. This is the current Mercedes-Benz GLE's third facelift - and a rather comprehensive one at that ...

@wearetherace Never watched and have no interested to. From Netflix, wouldn't hold my breath... 🤔

Does Drive to Survive's dramatisation make it "unwatchable", or is it just "not that deep"?
That was one of the debates that emerged as our Film Club took a closer look at Netflix's #F1 'docuseries' ➡️ the-race.com/formula-1/netf…

@tiff_tv @OllieBearman Yes but an Italian wining races for Ferrari surely has more appeal to the Italian fans... 🤔

Don't worry too much for them, they've got @OllieBearman waiting in the wings ...

Ferrari has a good record with Kimis but it surely made a mistake when it rejected F1’s youngest championship leader Kimi Antonelli 👀🔴

It may well be cost effective but it's still around £200,00 for parents to have to fork out for their little darlings!
Liam@Liam_Redford
@tiff_tv With the majority of the F4 championships around the world now using an identical chassis, F4 CEZ provides the most cost effective option, especially for those competing in multiple championships

@TedWelford Have seeing many debadged Chinese cars, people are ashamed of owning them... 🤔😂
English
I’m all for an expensive plate on a cheap car, but I really struggle to get the logic of having a £30k(?) number plate on a new Chery Tiggo 8, when the money could have been used to buy something SO much better! Also quite amusing that it’s fully debadged too 😅
English
@TedWelford Proof that people are becoming poorer over time. Surely they got the number plate with a top of the line Range Rover in the past but now they can only afford a Chery... Unfortunately this is how things are going for most... 🤔

@GMauthority As a curious fact C10 and K-Blazer were restyled and produced in South America for over a decade, from 1985 to 1996, as Chevrolet A20/C20/D20 (naming designation by fuel, Ethanol, Gasoline or Diesel) and Bonanza.
English
The K5 Blazer is rarer and more versatile — but the C10 is cleaner, simpler, and hugely popular. Which one belongs in your garage?

@kyleichan This car uses underpinnings of Volvo and Polestar models. Why isn't @edmunds recommending the Volvo?❓🤔

From one of the most well-known and trusted car review companies in the US:
Edmunds@edmunds
The Geely M9 plug-in SUV exceeded almost all our expectations by a wide margin. Chinese cars are ready for prime time in America.
English
REVIEW: There's now a hybrid version of the Leapmotor B10 which mixes petrol and electric power, but is it a better bet than rivals including the Hyundai Tucson or MG HS? 🤔

@DeryaTR_ @elonmusk Compared to whom? The average American that barely knows how to drive on stick? 🤔
It's the opposite, those with FSD will pay higher insurance because the system is flawed, many crashes involving Tesla Robotaxi, Waymo & Cruise to prove. Those who know how to drive will pay less.
English
9x safer means tens of thousands of lives saved if every car had FSD, and millions of accidents averted every year. Eventually, self-driving cars will be 100x safer, and it will be a major risk and liability to drive classic cars.
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis
Tesla's FSD: 5.3 million miles between accidents. US driving average: 660,000. That's 9x safer. And it's only getting better.
English
@VandMABagholder @edmunds Modern Minis are made by BMW, not British Leyland from the past, which explains why they do well. If you read the whole article you'll see that Land Rover is at the bottom but better than MGs made by SAIC... 🤔
English
@1MonkeyDriver @edmunds Any ranking where Mini is ranked second is to be taken with a grain of salt. Might as well put Land Rover there next year.
English
The best car in 100 years. It changed the game by being the best car, period.
It moved the world towards EV’s at scale and did more for the environment than any other product of any kind (until the Model 3 and Y came out).
Nice work, Bro.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory. We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era. I love those cars. This was me at production launch 14 years ago:

English
@elonmusk People just need to experience it. Then they’ll realize the truth. I know that if a car accident happens, it’s not caused by FSD Tesla.

Tesla cars, especially with FSD, are the safest in the world

Tesla Glass can withstand 4x the weight of the car

@alfistivirus Now make a new Alfa-Jeep... 🤔😁

Kris@1MonkeyDriver
Looking German car classifieds today did learn Alfa Romeo made a GP (General Purpose) vehicle for the Italian army between 1951-54. The grill in this 'Jeep' surely the coolest. Now that Alfa & Jeep are sister brands under @Stellantis why not a version of the current Wrangler⁉️🤔
English
Who ever did this, AI generated surely, it ain't bad at all... 🤔
®️Alfistivirus 🍀@alfistivirus
Finally, from Alfa Romeo too 🥰
English
@leisurevirus @edmunds No, the reasoning is different. The average fleet age in the US is 12 years old, meaning most people are driving/buying 12 years old used cars so they have to last for the next buyer... 🤔
English
@1MonkeyDriver @edmunds You are right buddy! At the rip off prices you are paying for a rip off GM or Stellantis product you NEED the car to last 10 years as you are still trying to pay off the mortgage on those things. At 35k for one of these, the “suckers” are probably onto their 3rd generation 🤣
English
@VandMABagholder @edmunds You say that because you don't know Chinese made cars. MG (Morris Garage), now importing Chinese made cars to Europe, ranks last in any reliability survey... 🤔

@1MonkeyDriver @edmunds Domestic 3 set the bar pretty low in terms of reliability and build quality.
