1/3 of Wrangler sales would ~80,000 per year.

At least this one has removable doors and top which will make it an outstanding cruiser in town.  Sure, it will be one of the best trucks off road, right out of the box, but we all know that only 10% of buyers are going off road...

Jeep will sell the hell out of them for 6 months, then they will consistently sell them at about 1/3 of the rate of regular Wranglers. Ultimately, this will prove to be an excellent business decision as they’ll move close to 100,000 units a year with relatively minor development costs to make it happen.

Agreed...and again, who cares if a hacker can access your contacts or call log?  

It is possible for any computer to be hacked - that should not be news.  What should be news is how easy it is to hack (remotely?  anonymously?  wirelessly?) and what capabilities/functions can be accessed.

I’m going to set the odds of a future film featuring the rise and fall of Tesla and Elon Musk at 5:1

Spoiler: It won’t.

Can this even be patented?

What is going on is Telsa scrambling to reduce its costs and to move more cars via those reduced costs before it has to go back to the bond market to request more money.

I am unsure exactly where this fits on the “horrible badge engineering” scale.

Some of those trailers would make for really nice traveling.

Used VWs: All of the pain of German ownership costs with none of the benefits of German ownership joy.

They aren’t selling it, they’re using it for testing.  THey’re not using it for promotions, they’re using it for testing.

If they bought the truck, they can modify it how they see fit. If they were selling rebadged F150s, that might create an issue if Ford wasn’t on board.

My only beef with CR’s ratings are that you get dinged for the infotainment as though it was a faulty part of the car. This means that Cadillac, with its older buyers, is getting killed because they can’t figure out how to use the infotainment.

“Ran when parked”

Adjusted for inflation, has the price of a Volvo risen much over the decades?

Is any brand, as a whole, making better looking exteriors or interiors than Volvo? I doubt it. They are simply gorgeous all across the lineup and the wagons may be the best of all.

The success of this mission, and many other Western (I’m including Israel in that term) raids has been the unpreparedness of the arab militaries.  There are a host of reasons, but the primary reason is the use of connections based promotions which not only put incompetent people in charge, but also demoralize those…
