Tesla is by far and away the most established electric car company and should not be suffering losses that are similar to other companies that are still in the highly speculative start up phase. Comparing Tesla to Rivian is apples to oranges. Tesla has been publicly traded for 12 years.  Musks stock sales while the…

The model Y and model 3 are both direct competitors and outsell it 10-1.

I think the real world value of the SC network is massively overrated. It’s an excellent selling point for people with range anxiety. But the average American commute is 25 miles and we mostly drive close to home which is where we mostly charge our cars.

Comrade Брюки неудачника,

Sadly I didn’t make a pile of money, not even close.  But I was lucky enough to get out before the sky fell and I would have lost more than I could stomach. 

Most people might not care about the panel gaps, but most people who can afford an S sure do. It’s a luxury car, luxury matters. I drove my A7 to test drive an S. As much as I liked the electrification and power delivery of the S...I just couldn’t stomach such a significant downgrade in materials, fit, finish and…

I don’t watch cable anything. I don’t watch news period. I actually use the news bias chart to insure that I get balanced points of view and avoid any outlet that is too far from the center (Jalopnik sometimes excepted). Because I skew left, I read Wall Street Journal first every day so I can check myself. My anti…

I never said I hated Tesla and I owned their stock because I like their mission. At the end of the day they make cars, and I have driven the cars, I nearly bought one. The big problem is they are way behind everybody else on build quality and that matters. As far as autonomous driving is concerned, it is still…

I am aware of this.  But they are way ahead of Tesla was at the same point in production.  There is going to be growing pains with any new auto maker.  I sat in one last week, the fit in finish was beyond any of the Tesla’s I have been in.

Tesla is squandering their lead and I would not be surprised if they are a cautionary tale in 10-15 years.

The answer is always Ronin. 

Car seats are a short term issue...The kids are toddlers before you know what hit you and boosters take up no extra space. The same goes with strollers (which are stupid stupid stupid, just get a backpack baby carrier or a baby Bjorn when they’re smaller). AND...I’m 6'3" 250. It took my son 12 years to get to 5'10"…

“If you have even just 2 kids, a Prius isn’t likely a great fit for you as a primary vehicle.”

I hate to tell you this...But pretty much all new auto’s have some sort of riff on the stupid shifter.  It is infuriating and one in a Chrysler killed Chekov. 

OK Comrade

There are no tricks here. And if you think a Master Plumber and a waitress are the same class then you aren’t super sharp. A waitress is working class, just like a maid, a ditch digger and a fork lift operator. They all work for a living and in most cases do so for a wage, but they do not all share the same economic…

At least you don’t give up.

Why must everyone be lumped together? There is no universal take on addressing morbid obesity amongst progressives. In fact, some progressives can be darned mean about the overweight as they equate them, with wasteful consumption.  There is no progressive handbook.  Some arrive after studying climate science, others…

I’m not projecting my priorities. I am observing phenomena. I don’t think you know what “working class” means, and if you think 72 month financing and being underwater for most of the loan term is “affordable” then you probably don’t know what “affordable” means either.

Wow..You’re excitable aren’t you?
