none of honda plants are unionized. also, they’re centered around ohio/indiana (MAGA!!!!!) so no worries about those brainwashed simpletons looking out for themselves

Honda has been quite desparate for EV partner to dance with. GM/Cruise. SONY. Now Nissan. The thirst is real

Look at the list. There’s basically three groups.

Roofline and rear end reminds me of v50

The thing is traditional OEMs will be less impacted by loss of EV credits. They make gas cars... unlike Tesla.
The only people really impacted are the likes of Rivian and Lucid. But was 7500 going to keep you from dropping 6 figures on a car in the first place?

Fake hoodscoop for posers that want to cosplay “ruggedness”

Actual benefit? none.
But rail is nearly 200 year old technology and these “pods” are new and “high tech”. These projects are all scams that exists purely to funnel public funds to scammers

Engine or transmission replacement have similar pricetag

Instead of gushing about competition, why isn’t he focused on improving his own offerings?

Honestly, i dont think they lied about the initial reservation numbers. The reservation was only $100 back in 2018/2019. The truck was supposed to be $40,000. There was a lot of interest back then.
Basically tesla got a 100~200 million dollar loan tax free from these “reservation holders” back when they had a huge cash…

Remember when you had to buy $400 worth of equipment to get 30-day free AOL service?

No?

Neither do I.

Also, everyone and their grandma should remember how predatory AOL was in making it shockingly difficult to actually end your service at the end of your free trial that it makes Amazon’s “End Prime Trial” page look…

and more recently, URANUS MAKES THE BEST FUDGE

even for war it seems like a terrible idea. Having night/thermal optics gives asymmetrical advantage. Why would you willingly give that up?

If the warranty is still good then I’d say the 1000 bucks isn’t price of extra performance, but the price of extended warranty.

OEM have often put safety margin on parts, and extra performance will mean lower safety margin/higher likelyhood parts will fail. So yeah 1000 bucks for extended warranty isn’t such a bad deal…

Polestar 1 was not a mass market car. it was a limited run production car. 1500 total made, not because of lack of demand, but because that’s what they planned to produce.

Tires are tested with water as well. Water doesn’t compress much so tires blowing out at 200psi of water isn’t quite as destructive as 200psi of air filled tire bursting 

lol yeah these jingoistic people don’t know how to properly display the flag they so love. My FIL also has the flag on his porch that’s hanging vertical with the stars to the right (which is backwards).

Get out of here. US had H1B system for STEM field work visa

the people who benefit from hiring”illegals” are the employers who can exploit these workers with low wages and harsh working conditions, not the “illegals”

these cars are not “safe” - they will not hold up to modern crash testing standards.

Plus the airbags are old, and we’ve all seen what happens to airbags gets old. Sure Takata had a design flaw, but I wouldn’t want to be in one of these when the airbags go off.

These aren’t some collectors car that will be driven to and…
