These haven’t gotten any better looking over the last couple decades. The mind knows the performance is there but looking like an oversized Cavalier does it no favors. I’ll take my $18K and go shopping for a used Hemi Challenger instead, so I can turn around when I leave it and admire it rather that tolerate it.

Elon / Tesla’s plan to hire nothing but white men and immigrate slave labor from India is coming to fruition. Exciting times...

Welcome to the new world.....EVERYTHING you say and do WILL be used AGAINST you.

And fresh limes no doubt.

Lime probably loved showing that no one is above its terms and conditions.

I actually spotted a barely-camouflaged one driving on I-94 near the Detroit Airport a couple of days ago. I wish I had taken a picture, but I didn’t recognize it at first. It looked so plain and nondescript, you could have put any badge on it and I would’ve believed you. I was most surprised by how big it was - I’d

The 10s of people waiting for this will be psyched.

We’ll now be waiting with bated breath to see if Stellantis has the guts to roll out the Recon with battery power and nothing more.”

Exactly. $35K and 300 mile range — hell yea. $50K and 200 mile range? Hell no. Somewhere in between? Let’s see what offers Jeep puts on the hood.

Given the state of Stellantis EV technology being LITERAL DOG SHIT... (see daytona EV)

That Cayenne may be a nice ride, and probably has more bells and whistles than anyone knows how to use - but are we overlooking the glaring red flag this is “Reconstructed Title”??

At least around here, good luck getting it registered without jumping through a bunch of hoops, and then enjoy dealing with insurance...

Economist Simon Johnson dubbed the fallout from 2008 a quiet coup. He was spot on. 

Except the super rich. An economic collapse is the fastest and most efficient way to take away wealth from the working class give it to the billionaire class.

No no no! My MAGA colleague said Canada would be paying Minnesota mega-loonies and North Dakota kilo-toonies when we tariff them. Because that’s how his tariffs work, of course.

“What are we gonna do tonight, Brain?”

Gonna bet you that’s why he’s selling it. Came out the other end of this project with something far less impressive than it appears to be. 

See my other reply. This battery pack can not supply 400 kW at all. Highest output value for the 16 kWh pack is 136 kW. Other sources put it at 110 or 120 kW only. That Tesla motor has to sip through a straw.

I hate to break it to everyone who’s drooling over this, but erhh... A 16 kWh battery pack from a Volt is never going to be able to supply 400 kW of power to the motor.
