Heels are as silly as ties, although heels are clearly more detrimental to your health.

Cubs win the World Series

This is a foolish move. One of Tesla’s primary market advantages was the Supercharger network. Now they’ve given up that competitive advantage.

My vehicle, partly due to a short commute, goes through a battery every oil change.

That sounds so much farther away than it really is...

Elon Musk has two big advantages - he started Tesla when he was filthy rich and after he’d become filthy rich while making a bunch of venture capitalists filthy rich.

Doesn’t work that way. Vehicles are classed by their base offerings, not their best offerings.

I’m all for more power, but I also like noise. Specifically, the noise of 8, 10, or 12 cylinders. A proper substitute can be smaller engines revving at or above 10,000RPM.

It is difficult for me to imagine the 8 series selling well at $100,000, let alone $165,000. When you’re spending that type of dough on a coupe, you are doing it for status or performance. The 8 series will offer neither incredible performance in that price range nor incredible status.

Bob Lutz is the Rush Limbaugh of the auto industry: standing on the side lines and cheering for failure.

It looks like a car with 85% Aztec, 10% Tesla, and 5% DeLorean DNA.

Rookie investors and Tesla junkies will eat it up and keep plowing money into Tesla.

Q3 was a gimmick designed to stabilize Tesla pre-merger. They need to raise more cash and are using the Q3 profit gimmick to do so. Musk himself said this in an email:

Excellent point. Lotus could probably be purchased inexpensively and the brand’s focus on simplicity and efficiency would work well with Apple’s (assumed) vision for a car.

Apple should make a strong investment into Volvo (Geely) - it is probably the brand that most closely matches the Apple ethos.

Are there really still CUVs with rollover problems ? The first waves did because they were built on retro fit frames but I thought that had been rectified .

They’re “old person cars” and she’s 32 and not an old person.

It looks very much like a MB sedan, which is a wonderful thing if you want to convert Euro-brand buyers who need a pickup. The problem is that very few consumers really need a pickup. This fact doesn’t hurt domestic manufacturers (Big 3) because their pickups come with an image that a lot of folks like. Just like…

Having been trying to convince my wife that a station wagon or a minivan is a way better option than a CUV for when we have kids. She is not having it.

There is only ONE single minivan built that is cooler than a turbo’d and manual minivan:
