Really? I was referring to the screen name of lackofsituationalawareness-again.  Who is triggered?

Really? My comment was agreeing with you and the name lackofsituationalawareness-again. Talk about triggered?!?

screen name checks out.

Would buy electric Mustang, especially if it looked like this.

At least they had the decency to not call it a Mustang.

But that is exactly what Porche is doing in their line up. Every model is rare; every model is highly targeted in spec. They can sell 30K 911s every year and everyone thinks they have a 1 in 1000 car.

Highly automated means way less jobs than people think. 10s or 20s not hundreds any more.  Ford will lay off thousands.  Net win according to our fearful leader.

I am strongly considering replacing my Xterra with a Ranger or Bronco, though. I cannot be the only person who feels this way.

But eating out of town in your analogy would required us to leave the country.  Who is ready for that?

Raising the price cost you $0, or infinite ROI. To increase market share, requires extra work to deliver the extra quantity. The math is quite simple.

Never seen one with a manual/AWD combo. Price is 20% high so it seem possible together a good deal.

There are already safety inspections in many states where rust and salt come together. The infrastructure exists for checking milage, the lines item on the bill needs to change.

Even if you pay rent, you pay property taxes. You don’t think the landlord is benevolent and pays them for you?

How can you get $2.5million without the dealer knowing? He must have been asking for 95% deposits on 10 GT3s. This doesn’t make sense. The average Porsche can’t be much more than $125K so that is at least 20 people suckered on 100% deposits. If they are 20% down deposits which might make more sense, that means…

Economics says that by keeping your price low, you will increase market share. But in the time frame of these tariffs, you can’t just turn a switch and double production. Since production is short term stagnant, prices have to go up because of the fixed supply in any 1 factory.

You cannot build a factory in 6 months. Cars, steel, would take years with the current infrastructure that exists. Electronic manufacturing will take years beyond that as there are no hubs for the local economy of scale effects.

The original Carbon Fiber!

The tariffs on Chinese metals have allowed American producers to jack up their prices for lack of competition.

At least they abandoned the plastic sneaker wrap styling of the old XC70.
