My experience with run flats has been awful

I had a ‘92 Honda Civic VX that the factory claimed would get 55 mpg on the highway. I was able to get 58 on one tank of gas and became obsessed for a little while. I began inflating the tires (165 70R-13)to 40 psi, then 50, in an attempt to get to the magic 60 mpg. I made it and decided to keep pushing the envelope

You could see the problem with this driver right away. He's on the wrong side of the road. 

For the most part, run flats are garbage. More expensive, they often wear faster, and have a harsher ride.  Also, there are scenarios where even a run flat can get shredded beyond drivability.

I don’t know what the answer is here, but it certainly is not “run flat tires for all the cars”

They suspended his license for two years for that. Can you imagine what would happen in the US if laws were that harsh?

you could probably even find a decent one in a u-pull that matches the color.

Are you being contrarian or deliberately obtuse? Because given that you were spouting anti-union propaganda yesterday...

VinFast is not some scrappy underdog. VinGroup is the largest corporate conglomerate in Vietnam. Until recently, they made cell phones and TV’s. They have their own amusement park. THEY RUN THEIR OWN

read a little about the owner of vinfast, and you won't be feeling as much sympathy.

He’s already filed for an injunction, and I haven’t read the contract but presumably they’re already in breach.

Someone explain to me how we’re not looking at the dead eyes of a complete psychopath:

Man, I’m going to hate this. I can’t stand waiting. Being in some cheap tourist trap with overpriced shitty souvenirs, grease-laden food and the hubbub of dozens of people talking at once won’t make it any better. But from what I’ve read any system that could charge a large EV battery in a similar amount of time to

On a long road trip this summer I noticed the extinction of a treasured piece of American culture: the truck stop diner. I was desperately hoping to sit at a counter, drink coffee next to long haul truckers, and be served an omelet by a waitress who called me honey.
They simply don’t exist. Every truck stop has a

You presume that EV drivers have the ability and interest . . . 

*looks around* You mean...as opposed to now when everyone has to work until they’re in the grave?

I had him driving 3k a month also. Which, again, makes this a super bad choice for a daily.

Satire is wasted on some folks.

Get Elon to build a tunnel for it

Shit decisions as a result of a veritable cavalcade of previous shit decisions.  It’s like a shit decision tsunami.

The list of cars I would buy before spending $78k on this is very, very long.
