Right, so the stock is not currently a good long term bet.  There’s no other material way to buy into the company.

The article is poorly written in typical Jalopnik fashion, but Tesla’s current valuation makes zero sense. They would have to ramp up production to 40M cars a year, which is about half the world’s output of cars, and 4-5x what the biggest car companies in the world do. With conventional ICEvs that aren’t constrained…

If I’m understanding the numbers right, they’d have to grow a hundredfold in a short period of time to justify these valuations.

These two sentiments are contradictory. 

I haven’t used Logitech but I’ve been a Fanatec customer for like 5 years. I agree. If you can stretch to get the entry level wheelbase with a load cell brake pedal it’s 100% worth it.

It’s cheaper to put power everything in everything than to have manual stuff in some cars and power stuff in others. Same door cards, same switches, same motors/regulators etc.

Really? Only a year away from a fully built fast charging network? EVs in all the different form factors available (I just bought a minivan), at prices comparable to ICE equivalents?

I think the paint matches, but the panel contours are so disjointed the light hits them differently. Like if you have a front door closed and a rear door open, they are going to look like different colors even if they have the same paint. 

Because some people don’t want to pay more money for less convenience?

Yea context always matters. It’s like news stories that say “there was a 1000% increase in deaths”.... and it goes from 1 to 10, because 20x more people were using said product etc. As a data dude shit like this drives me nuts.

This is back when mileage actually mattered too. I feel like the average car back then was lucky to break 100K miles.

These “OMG look how dangerous these cheap car” posts are becoming a bit formulaic and lacking in value. Would it be great if cars sold in the 3rd world were as safe as cars in the 1st world? Absolutely. But ultimately safety costs money.

Reminds me of the “dry weight” spec. Are they going to separate out assembly and QC checks next? Lol.

I will have to reserve judgment until we can confirm that this driving was or wasn’t part of a Cannonball run.

1st gen Z4s are seeing a big price hike, much to my dismay.

And those Daewoos probably became good at least in part through the partnership with GM! 

I promise you the folks in these emerging markets don’t care lol. The Chevy brand on its own has above average equity there and GM can elevate the quality and engineering of these brands without GM having to take on all the risk of launching new product in such low margin segments. This method is a win win for…

You have to consider the differences of those markets. They don’t have the purchasing power to buy GM’s best.

It’s not nostalgia, it’s spewing the most ridiculous hive mind takes for clicks and stars.

I admire your diplomacy. I’m gonna be more blunt- proclaiming this ugly “developing market” monstrosity over the totally decent and nice driving Blazer is peak brainless Jalopnik contrarianism. I’m sure this thing is fine for its intended market but the Blazer is one of the better 2 row mainstream crossovers.
