The difference basically comes down to the distinction between profit and profiteering. If you, as an individual, buy a Corvette and then resell it for a profit, you assumed a risk in your original purchase that maybe you’re wrong about the market and you end up break even or even losing. Even if we’re all in…

Don’t ever think the rich are not petty cheapskates.

This is like when I used to use use Windows XP way after the date it was supposed to have been sunsetted, and every time I would restart the computer dozens of different warnings about various things not working would pop up, and I’d just have to click out of them repeatedly until they all went away, except that just…

When I see a Rivian, I see the future of the Honda Ridgeline.

At the very least they could put a few squirrel-cage-type fans along the upper corners of the cargo area and some ventilation louvers along the bottom edges, to maintain constant fresh air flow through the cabin. Fans of that type are highly efficient and wouldn’t draw that much power. Of course, we’re talking about a…

There are over-temp shipping indicators to alert recipients that the item has been cooked.

I think the biggest in 2019 (the last normal year of car production before everything that happened) was Toyota making about 11 million. Tesla would have to nearly double that.

“- must have little to no packaging”

Rivian’s product is better than the original Fiskar, they have more production capability, and I’ve actually seen Rivian products on the road routinely. I don’t think they’ll be Tesla and be able to go it alone, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they got snapped up in a few years by an automaker that wants a more modern…

Did I say it wasn’t a collision?  My point is about severity.  

I realize you are just picking up the headlines from other news sources, but to call this “Two Delta flights collided while taxiing at Miami International Airport” is a bit extreme.

A little of both.

Did you mean that literally or am I reading too much into your reply?

As long as I can get bulbs for those brake lights at O’Reilly, I’m in.

Exactly! And even down here where rust isn’t really a thing, they are all just GONE at this point. So when you see one it really stands out from the sea of modern two-box blobs.

2nd gear: We have an industry governing body that decides the standards to solve issues just like this. That body is the SAE.

Tesla was part of the SAE group that developed the combo CCS J1772 DC fast charging connector. Tesla uses it in Europe for that matter.

So no, they should get on board with everyone else in…

Reminds me of the old joke

In my experience GM has a pretty good history supporting their vehicles whether they were “100% in-house” or not.

Man…lots of negative Nannie’s in here today. I’m a little surprised that this is an ‘89, and not much older, but otherwise, I love it! If my garage was ten feet longer, I’d consider something like this. I’m not immediately turned off by the price either. It’s only somewhere around $500 per foot of car. Plus, I…

Really confused by the rear wheel misalignment in the wheel arch.
