Really? There are multiple charging lots in my city that are designed to work with a variety of brands. Currently, they have outputs for Tesla and GM but I’m sure they’ll add more. Couldn’t tell you where a Tesla owned station is, I only see the generic ones.

A bit pedantic. F and C existed long before that. I think those vehicles still exist.

No. Ten years or so is when you start with semi major repairs... radiator, altinator, nothing too serious.

No. The 2GR-FKS debuted in 2015 in the Lexus 350 GS. First used in a Toyota badge in the 2016 Taco.

They look at repairs per 1000 vehicles. Then break it down by drivetrain, electronics, suspension, etc. The new 3.5 engine was not ready for prime time and has the highest repair rate of any new vehicle (same goes for the 4Runner).

GM’s Colorado/Canyon depreciation is only slightly behind the Tacoma. The Silverado actually holds value better than the Tundra. Also, that new Tacoma was rated worst in class for reliability by CR.

Twice bitches!

Does it matter that the German government basically demands that we keep troops there as a deterance to Russia? Should they be a bit linient on the stupid crap since we basically double their defense capabilities—again something our treaty requires of us.

Meh. We are there because our NATO obligation to Germany requires it. If Germany’s treaties with the US require the stationing of US Soldiers inside Germany as a defense/deterance force, than the German government should respect our culture as well.

Uh, the US, Canada and Britain still use TOW missiles; however, the TOW IIB which is still in service isn’t the same as the ones from the 80's.

We are in Europe as part of our NATO obligation. We would need to renegotiate our NATO role in order to totally pull out.

Depends on the size of the bomb. A “small” nuclear bomb akin to the one used on Hiroshima would only have minor effects north of the DMZ. Mainly cross contamination though animal migration and possibly wind (unless they account for this in the attack) but nothing too serious. A larger, hydrogen bomb would certainly…

Canada did make nukes in partnership with the USA and U.K. In 1945.

No kidding. I’m looking forward to getting in early on “Alberta wine country.”

Humans are driving climate change. Coasts rise and kill off a whole lot of humans. Climate recovers over the next 300 years. Seems like a functoin of equilibrium.

They were on a base that had no US military.

What if you installed the secret compartment with the intent of hiding your wallet while you went jogging? Merely having the modification does not constitute intent.

I generally agree. GM is ahead of the entire industry (including Tesla) with the Bolt. $30,000 (after federal credit), 238 mile range, 0-60 in a respectable 6.5 seconds. Now, they are going to churn out just enough to meet demand, but if the EV shift happens on a large scale, they are already well ahead of Toyota,…

Italy, Greece, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Thailand, S. Korea, France... countries with similar laws. Are these tyrannical?

Spain, France, Thailand, India and about 50 other nations have anti religious defamation laws similiar to Russia. They make it illegal to hold demonstrations or commit acts of protest within a Mosque, Temple or Church. This is not uncommon. Let’s back off the “OMG Russia!” response.
