Yea, this has to be one of the most useless, misinformation, narrow minded articles I’ve read so far. Utter garbage really. Is this what passes for journalism these days?

Sod, especially when damp, it adds up really fast.

Yeah, this was a fairly bad take. The off-road trims have a payload penalty, calling it the “top trim” and then making conclusions is bad.

I think I speak for most intelligent humans when I say "Stanced = Instant CP"

20 years from now? LOLOLOLOL It’s a Tesla, it might well fail 7 times under warranty and be subject to 7 revisions before they make one that lasts until it is JUST out of warranty. But it will be easy for the monkeys/machines to slap together on the assembly line in a tent.

I look at that and think “that is going to be really fucking expensive to replace WHEN it fails”. And it will fail. Oh, and of course you can only buy it from Tesla, if they deign to sell you one.

No fucking way.

Not sure how much time firefighters should spend saving 'stuff', no matter how valuable or how much it aligns with my hobby interests.  

I understand why the flares, just why spend so much time on the other pieces then go “F-it” on these?

There’s a lot of downside to going public. Besides all of the extra financial disclosure rules, you’re also at the mercy of investors who only care about stock price. If you see an investment opportunity that might take years before it starts paying off, and you can’t sell the stock buying public on that strategy you…

Eww that looks groß!

You don’t really get how this works, I get it. 

I actually prefer it that way.

modularity of parts is not a bad thing. It generally reduces the cost of parts and the vehicle as a whole. Additionally, more money can be spent on development because more units will be produced.

Me too. 20 year old me thought the Prius was a dumb and terrible idea which nobody could ever possibly want because it was so horribly uncool. 35 year old me owns a Prius as a DD, because saving a ton of money on fuel and having a comfortable way to get around is definitely pretty cool.

20 year old me wanted a stripped out race car.

Good to see you sipping that kool-aid yourself. He’s an asset that’s approaching the point of becoming a liability, and he’s going to deflate and/or explode at some time in the foreseeable future. The erratic behavior is getting worse.

The fact of the matter is he literally just cost his company an extra $20 million…

I will always have a soft spot for the 1.8t GLI

You know the TL has to be a Blue Type-S

I read the title and the first thought was the 04 to 08 TL. And then I saw the lead picture. Glad to see we’re on the same page Tom!
