I am assuming the code name is a nod to the Bell X-1? Which if so, I like it. I am still not sure that supersonic commercial flight really makes a ton of sense though.

Yea, that 917 has a LONG way to go to beat out the 250 GTO market.

I love SX, but have never been. With a few in my area this year and my kids proably old enough, it just may happen. I also really want to hit a summer MX race.

If I remember correctly, the dirt stays at the venue in most places. They have like a dirt storage area near so the trucking and moving is more localized. 

If I do this, I will probably use an IPA solution as well, but that is for drinking while I work.

My garage is around the same temp, I could fire up the heaters. But no real need immediately, so I will wait it out.

Mine is three pronged. I need to replace the rear shock/struts, I have the replacements in the garage and already did the fronts. I’ll wait until it is warmer. Another is a broken bolts for my battery tie down. Just replaced the battery and when I went to undo one of the tie own bolts the head twisted off. I need to…

$28k and then if you replace all 36 batteries another $7,200 or so? Yea, no thanks.

And I am not saying that is definitively the reason, just the only thing that makes sense. Leases get reported at “transaction price” even though that is nowhere near the capitalized cost or the cash/finance price that people are paying. I could probably get more details on this but sounds like a lot of work for not…

It is most likely due to the 62-0 MPH slowdown requirement. They don’t feel confident that they can handle that situation. I am personally against all the mandated items in cars. Just feels like paying for things that I don’t need. Back up cams, AEB, rear seat warnings, TPMS and the list goes on. We are catering to…

Oh yea, I definitely believe that. I am just saying that since this is an “average” and if most transactions are leases recorded at or near MSRP then the average will be artificially higher than the finance or cash purchase price people would pay.

10% off on purchase? If so, I would bet it is due to most being leases and reported “transaction” prices being at or above MSRP with significant lease cash not being shown in that transaction data. I am not a lease person, but buying and EV right now is a wildly poor financial decision vs leasing in almost all cases. 

Lease transaction prices are usually based on some number around MSRP, then any lease cash or anything like that is taken off the estimated deprecation to come up with payments. Below is from a BZ4x, so the suggested retail price is $47k, which would be reported as the transaction price I think.  The below is for a…

Yes...

Would it even charge that fast if you just depleted it quickly on track? Like I said, this would be a sweet autox car, but $55k for an autox car that probably is in some weird class makes no sense. You could maybe make the case for a time attack car, which might be a better fit.

I have a feeling the bZ and Mach E are a function of leases and huge lease cash. The transaction price gets recorded as one thing, but the lease cash and payment terms say something else. But I could be wrong here, only thing that makes sense to me though.

Speaking of future, why not a three-way merger with Faraday Future?

The numbers above are for Nov only. But even if it is 12 by EoY, that isn’t good, lol.

I see it here in Bmore once in a while, usually looks like contractors.

Haha, “I just need blinker fluid!!!”
