The 6:29.090 that made the GT2 RS comparison useless
6:29.090: What AMG ONE Proved at the Nürburgring On 23 September 2024, Maro Engel drove a Mercedes-AMG ONE around the full 20.832-kilometre Nürburgring-Nordschleife in 6 minutes 29.090 seconds. The time was officially measured and notarised. It was the first road-legal production car to go below 6:30. Since then, that number has been used to support several claims that do not fit together: that AMG ONE is in a different league from a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, that the driver was holding back, that the car is wasted on this track, and that the result proves a hierarchy between two brands. The data supports the first claim. It does not support the other three.

The File Tesla Never Wanted You to Read: “Radar Saves Us”
In July, a regulatory letter reached Tesla. While investigating FSD crashes in low-visibility conditions, NHTSA specifically demanded a document titled “Radar Saves Us.” Emails, meeting minutes, and internal discussions were to be handed over as well. Tesla had already submitted the document privately earlier. The regulator now wants it because it may reflect Tesla’s own understanding of the shortcomings of a vision-only system: fog, glare, dust, the things cameras fear most.

I Make $20,000 a Month. I Still Can’t Afford to Fix My Electric Car.
We used to say, “It’s easy to buy a car, but hard to maintain it.” Now that sentence needs a rewrite: It’s easy to buy an electric car, but even harder to repair it.
