I'm not saying you HAVE to order a car. My point is if you want something very specific, you have to put in the effort. Especially because when dealers order 300+ cars in one go (for the next few months) to stick on their floor plan, t

American here. I've done this crazy thing when I want an exact vehicle: I order it. Yes, you wait. You may be waiting quite a while for a dealer to give you one of their allocations. But you get exactly what you want. If you go

Well, the roadster is also a 2+2 coupe reminiscent of a 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro, which is ~3860lbs (1750kg) for a V8. A roadster would be a 2-seat convertible (no C-pillar), like a Mazda MX-5 (Miata) or a Porsche Boxster.

I would expect it to proliferate primarily on the following segments, in this following order (descending): * High-end enthusiast performance vehicles. Think Porsche sports cars, Ferrari, etc. * Popular, otherwise reliable commodity vehicle

It's because it's not easy to catch up. In some cases, it can actually be impossible. Particularly if issues such as embargoes, sanctions and/or blockades can functionally block access to required equipment or talent. For

Nope. Not even. Again, as the grandparent post stated, everything is being sold with the default configuration being redlined. You absolutely can reign it back in to sanity, and get better performance per watt over the previous gen, and s

Yep. We're apparently finding out that it's mostly a waste of electricity to get an extra 5% performance due to how far outside the efficiency sweet spot chips are being pushed. Not just Intel either. AMD has joined the game as o

Even in the cities immediately surrounding Boston, a lot of them are also walk-able. You just have to be a bit picky on location if you still want quick access to subway stations. I'm just outside Boston and within a 15 minute walk of

I think you vastly underestimate the number of small landlords, as well as smaller local PMCs -- particularly for older duplexes, triples, and tenements -- which will never spend the money. Go to places like Boston, where you will find plen

In the case of the Intel i7-1280P in the Lenovo, it's not entirely surprising that it heats up. Under Tau it can draw 64W if allowed to, per Intel ARK. That's on par with a mid-range AMD desktop CPU -- a Ryzen 5600X pulls 67.2W f

Ubiquitous 5K displays has been a wishlist of mine since 2009. Thankfully DisplayPort 2.0 compliant GPUs starting to surface (both the upcoming AMD and NVIDIA GPUs will do it) may finally see the start of their ubiquity in the coming years.
