Have you seen the last Pacifica? People were lining up not to buy that thing.

Thanks for the clarification (I un-greyed your comment)

The stop sale affects new and used cars, and undoubtedly the language for used vehicle stop sales is in the dealer franchise agreement.

The Spring Hill plant was a union UAW plant with its’ own unique standalone labor agreement that empowered labor to work with management to build better cars (and actually have their concerns and suggestions listened to, and vice versa).

The pricing model was a huge success for Saturn. So was the high level of customer service and the buying experience.

The misbegotten second gen Xb killed Scion.

Hamas shoulda built this:

Bubbling rust? Probably not - they’re aluminum bodied. There's always the undercarriage to get rusty, though

It was in “the need to completely restore them age.” as soon as the warranty was up

If you throw a rod and punch a hole in the engine block you can easily lose a nearby engine mount too.

That was hot

How did you not bring a shovel?

I’ve driven a 6.2 ‘13 escalade platinum on some road trips, and the mileage is decent for a big truck with that kind of power, performance, capability and space. It’s also a supremely pleasant, comfortable and handsome place so spend time behind the wheel or as a passenger - the Platinum level trim is no joke.

No.

Why should other customers pay more because some customers bring in the wrong part?

So what?

Spot on. Smarter companies leave this stuff on the concept cars.

Tesla is supposed to be the intelligent car company, right? The smartest guys in the room?

As both a master tech and a dealership service manager, I have to wonder why they put such a complex, expensive, finicky, heavy, unreliable and totally unnecessary system on a lower-priced (meaning not $200,000-level super car ) model.

Kudos, Torch. A great article marred only slightly by a typical Jalopnik crappy click bait headline.
