Meanwhile, $17 million would get you what, 200 square feet in Manhattan?

I’m honestly astonished anyone believed him, especially to the point of turning the plane around.

I’ve never really understood Escalades. SUVs have a huge ‘cheaply built trucks with more seats’ reputation which makes them really hard to take seriously as a luxury vehicle. It kind of works for Porsche/Lamborghini/Bentley because they don’t actually produce a truck that their SUVs are based on. But seeing an…

Well, if emissions are rolled back far enough, Mazda could sell rotaries again, so there’s that.

Big difference between driving 35 because that’s the speed limit and driving 5 because you’re a jerk who doesn’t want people using the road legally.

Roads exist to be driven on. You don’t own the road you live on (with the exception of certain gated communities that DO own the roads they’re built on).

Well, Maserati at least still has this one covered.

The thing is, even if this car is a total nightmare, you have about $70k to spend on repairs before you approach the cost of a new one. Sure, some of the cost of a depreciated used car is hidden, but it’s still nowhere near the price of a new one.

I live in central Ohio. There are a grand total of four superchargers in the city. I am not limiting my meals to the one restaurant in the entire city that’s within walking distance of one.

They’re not usable as an only car because a 300 mile range still means you’ll have to recharge at least once for even a relatively small trip (~100 miles both ways).

Hence “set the limits at speeds people will actually drive”. If anyone is routinely 20 under the limit, it’s probably too high. Minimum and maximum limits should be enforced if they’re set properly.

They’re all over cities. They’re nowhere to be found in most rural areas.

I think the point is that no EV is truly usable as an only car for most people, so as long as the range covers the commute, which is all the car will be used for, it’s enough.

We still have a lot of “Through Traffic Keep LEFT” signs in Ohio too, mostly on highways that run alongside larger towns.

If no one went over the speed limit, it wouldn’t matter what lane they were in.

I’ve always wondered about inspections for an out of state purchase. What keeps the dealer/seller from selling the car out from under me while I schedule that PPI and travel?

Every once in a while I think ‘maybe I’m missing something with all this social media stuff I ignore’.

Two seater cars typically have a lot more legroom that four seaters.  A sedan or SUV typically has a fairly elevated seat so you can’t stretch your legs out as much.  I’d much rather have more legroom.

This isn’t new, either.

People still have disdain for wagons and minivans as family cars. All of your points can more accurately be written as:
