...driven to neighbourhoods to carry out door-knocking expeditions in the back of a U-Haul van without seat beats....

We’re talking about canvassers that were flown or driven to Michigan from other states, and then abandoned there after they were unable to fulfill unrealistic work quotas.  Not having a driver’s licence would seriously impact their ability to get themselves home.

“As much as I want to say these people got what they deserved, I know that at least some of them were just doing whatever they could to earn a buck.”

This is the sign you’re not going to like the candidate that’s hiring you.

It’s important to note that they weren’t told which candidate they were campaigning for until after they were hired.

As much as I want to say these people got what they deserved, I know that at least some of them were just doing whatever they could to earn a buck.

I am going to assume the Hyundai EV team did not overlook such an obvious detail.

Even if Tesla ever does release a new Roadster, it won’t be the successor to the original Roadster that I want. The original was still fairly light, small, fast, simple and fun as hell. There is no timeline where the new Roadster isn’t just a two-door Model S with fart cans. Sorry, “cold gas thrusters” or whatever…

How have people not figured out that Tesla deposits are just interest free loans for Elon. Sure, he’ll give you your principle back, years later after collecting the interest on the money he’s been sitting on. Want a Tesla product? Put your deposit in a mutual fund and wait it out.  It’s not like its going to be the…

this is great, need to get some fire stations here to test these out and see if it works on the other brands of EVs.

Once again, I would like to remind us all about how Singapore gained it’s independence, because it’s wild. After the British gave up their holdings in the region, Singapore became part of Malaysia. But they were so violent and racist that Malaysia was forced to kick Singapore out of the country, making Singapore…

He knows a guy that builds auto plants. Name is John. No last name. All he does is build auto plants. No other buildings. He’s got a PhD in auto plant building. Not many people know you can get a degree in that. Too specific they say. I don’t know about that. But I do know John is very smart. Not as smart as me.…

I’ve said it in other posts, but I’ll say it here again.  Trump gives auto workers the ability to express their racism out loud.  That’s the only issue they care about.

I’m willing to believe that the number was somewhere between 1M and 2M, for three reasons:
1) They promised a base price of $40k, making it competitive to other trucks, which are the best-selling market segment in the US
2) Reservations were open world wide, so it certainly includes Canadians and Europeans as well
3)…

They wouldn’t last 10 minutes. He wouldn’t last 5. 

Did I misread this, or is he really dogging on Mercedes — a German company — for doing their manufacturing in Germany?

Dear god what I wouldn’t give to see his children work on an assembly line for a couple of days 🤣

You’re all missing the point. It’s not “so easy a child could do it,” he’s laying the groundwork for his child labor initiatives...

the numbers become more plausible if buyers believed that they could get one for $40k, which is less than the current average new car price. but at 2 1/2 times that, most people obviously ran for the hills

Also highly possible that people made a reservation planning to buy one and flip it, then backed out when they realized that wasn’t going to work out in their favor
