    Ah, the McKinsey "We are Super Brilliant, just read our Social Media Profiles" analyst take. That mantra of simpler and cheaper was repeated in this 2020 report from the smartest people in the room...

    Stellantis fires hundreds of engineers, tech

    Good mix of Stellantis employees of their Engineering and Software divisions. Basically, they make the over 400 positions vacant (under 500 so no WARN Act trigger, so very thoughtful of them). My take is they did the necessary work for the Global Medium Engine (GME) AKA Hurricane to add two...

    the New MPG are out. what do you think? thank you Tim for the video

    GM has some recent experience with straight six engines, albeit gas, with their own Atlas series developed in the mid to late 90s and updated through the first decade of the 2000s. Additionally, they owned Daewoo, who had Porsche design the XK I-6 for the Epica/Tosca cars of 2006-2014...

    Cabin is bigger myth

    The Ranger Crew Cab's wheelbase is 128.7 in. compared to the 131 inches plus of Tacoma and Colorado. Ford doing a better job of Thermal Management and devote more wheelbase to cabin room and less to engine bay cooling space?

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    So regular varies around the country, but the testing for the mileage to get it EPA certified probably occurs at the Chelsea Proving Grounds, so 87 octane used to get the fuel mileage. My question (which may make for some content when you get your SO SST) is what fuel grade was used to obtain...

    Hertz CEO Resigns After Tesla Fiasco

    Not sure who this was directed at but reporting an impending policy change (which did happen today) is not "Hating on rules and regulations mandated by the government." Sure, implementing instructions on preventing child labor, fire safety, codes, civil engineering standards, Lead paint...

    YouTube frustration lately

    Maybe if they weren't so spaced out, they would spend their money wisely...Not being callous, just some inside joking from an "air breather" guy.

    Hertz CEO Resigns After Tesla Fiasco

    I try to avoid anything with a tone of political, so this was the least D/R I could find (the last paragraph is the most partisan), but as early as tomorrow, new mandates will be coming out. I don't believe they are crumbling in the policy sense (the market appears to be is a different story)...
