Looking at the political map... And how many of those Ohioans would be willing to move to CA? Probably less than 1%. Plenty of people in CA needing jobs. Problem is how willing is Tesla to train.

Very true.

Gout is not fun.

I’ve worked on two Japanese manufacturers (three separate brands) and one Korean. That is the sample size of my general statement.

Never said the special cases would go away.

Oh look, I just found one of those Trump-voting idiots.

Plus, small company with limited funds. Probably cheaper to use humans than the high up front cost of robots. Even by 2003, automation wasn’t exactly cheap.

And? what’s your point?

Maybe they should make a Ford Fudge.

That’s like Donald Trump starting a statement with “I’m not racist”.

Those are special cases. They are bound to their boxy shape due to history and tradition. The same reason you would not dare to propose a 4-door Mustang with FWD and anything less than a V8.

The multinational car business is pretty strange indeed. In China, anything foreign is deemed more legit than ones that are homegrown. See Vice video on how westerns are often hired as window dressing at Chinese companies (for no purpose other than appearances). In Japan, because of national pride, things are a bit…

Oh, look, it has door handles and headlights. Therefore, it’ must be a rip-off of another car. /s

Edge starts with an F? Learn something new everyday...

Yah that strategy worked really well for Hummer.

I think the point is when you have to eat shrimp and steak flavored shit day-in and day-out, you’d be musing what it’d be like to be eating gold dusted, caviar flavored shit and washing it down with 100 year old Dom. Human nature, man. In the end, same shit different address.

Perfect! and bring back chameleon paint!

I can relate. Made many trips to the Goodwill donation center due to gifts I never asked for, doesn’t fit and would never use/wear.

This is why people need to grow up, appreciate the fine art of critical thinking, look past the dogma and stop voting along party lines. Year after year of reading political news stories, I’m constantly amazed by the number of people who vote against their own good... and trash talk those who would be their champions.…

I’ll go one step further... Welcome to adulthood.
