I thought most of the articles I read about dealerships and electric vehicles was that they hated selling them, to the point they were sabotaging their own electric car sales. Now they’re mad that they’re being cut out of the process they cratered.  

Every single sane person wanting to buy a car : “NADA go fuck yourself.”

It’s simple it’s for fans, you are not a fan therefore it is not for you. That said Doc making a time machine out of a Delorean, which everyone knew back then was a shit car, WAS the whole joke, Marty even says as much to Doc when he’d like “You made a time machine out of a Delorean?!” line in the movie. He took a car…

Hi. Gen X here. This entire article is why Boomers say Millennials are dipshits.

I’ve been in Europe in the Summer. The French would tow the Queen Mary behind a 2CV. This particular picture is from the Netherlands I understand, but I’ve seen similar things.

I don’t understand this safety regulation stuff for cars when motorcycles are completely legal...What is this safety for? It’s so backwards, trucks and SUVs should be regulated out the ass simply because they have the potential to cause more external damage than smaller cars. Is my thinking incorrect?

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the…

Maybe the last two will help, but  I don’t think the development costs of selling dozens of us manual cars is going to help them at all.

Wait until you hear about the metric system in the U.S.

They are caught in a doom spiral that is the inevitable result of cost cutting. Cost cutting leads to less R&D and cheaper feeling vehicles, which leads to needing to tap subprime and fleet sales to move metal (upmarket buyers don’t want dated cheap-feeling vehicles). The subprime and fleet sales keep the cash coming…

Nissan is the next Mitsubishi. Boring, forgettable cars that will soon be nothing more than rental fleet fodder.

I think the feds should have sued Hyundai a while ago to force them to fix their cars.  They literally are primarily responsible for the current auto-theft crime wave. 

If you asked the question, “Who is Nissan?” or “Who is Ford?”, you would get confused looks. Maybe some people would name the CEO, if they even knew who it was.

Absolutely. Some of the lobotomies weren’t recent.

102k for that delivery experience is absolutely hilarious. Do they have anybody that works there that has not had a recent lobotomy? 

If Germany’s labor protections are so rife for abuse, why is the average sick day usage so much lower across the country than at this one plant?

First of all, I always take cost estimates like those with a large grain of salt. “3.8 billion dollars between now and 2030" parceled out over an estimated 85 million cars sold between 2025 and 2030 (17 million per year) is about $45 per car. Not the end of the world. Also not the use of the word “could,” not “would.”…

They want people to stop not aim for them.

These are the kind of stops cops should be making and charging people for, not “5 over in a 55.” I also think that any money collected for traffic stops should go into traffic safety programs, not law enforcement budgets. Make people pay for their own driver’s (re)education.

She’s not seeing that $30K refund. And she’s now informally blacklisted from these ventures, as surely her name’s on a do-not-invite list.
