How could I forget the Vics and Caprices! 

Solid points. 

Stupid friggin’ deer! 

Ha, that definitely is not an exhaustive list and Redblocks get props, too. The only cars I have seen with my own eyes rolling over 500k on a (supposedly) original drivetrain is them three and an old Mercedes SL v8. I’m also drawing from when I worked at Jiffy Lube in the 90s, so I’m probably leaving a few newer cars…

Your average household energy consumption is like 20-35 kwh per day. Driving the car will use approximately that much every 100 miles. A 60 kwh EV battery can keep a house going full-bore for two days or longer if you’re conserving energy in an emergency. I’m not seeing how a house is a high-load situation here—you…

What the hell did they fuck up so badly to have the same problem across five engine families?? 

Outside of the Mercedes 300D, Toyota Hilux, and some 4th-gen Civics, there aren’t a lot of cars out there that can survive 200K+ miles at all, let alone without major powertrain rebuilds and replacements. The three batteries ain’t bad at all, but I’m kind of surprised by the motor replacements. 

Think about it this way. In emergencies, you can use your EV battery to run your house. If you have rooftop solar, you can charge with the energy you generate and use the EV battery as a backup instead of paying $30k for solar storage batteries. It’s kinda two birds with one stone and you don’t have to use the car to…

I’m putting my money on some dumbass influencer jumping or otherwise destroying one off-road. 

Luckily it appears to be damaged right when it rolls out of the factory and all of the fingerprints and smudges will cover up all the dings. I’ve seen a few video “reviews” (in quotes because they appear to just be influencers servicing Musk) this week and the panels are warbly AF.

That’s a lot of angry bees!

I guess rich folks aren’t exactly buying bags crystal in the park, so that tracks.

The one true Vision.

This is excellent eye bleach after looking at the Cybertruck.

My 2019 VW Alltrack was recalled for flaking chrome on the shifter bezel. It was an absolute travesty. All joking aside, the real tragedy was the lack of recalls for all of the other shit that fell off of it in the two years I owned it.

...went days without sleep, mistreated the production team and actors, threw things at his wife and show co-creator, Gabriela Rosés Bentancor, accused her of plotting to assassinate him, and punched holes in walls.

They didn’t even buy a car, they just handed Tesla $250,000!

Absolutely no dice at any price. These cars were absolute garbage when they were new and they're garbage now. No amount of nostalgia can paper over just how awful the Granada is. 

Ha, true that!

While the influencer cookie is every bit as stupid as you would expect, this “controversy” is even stupider.
