The agressive launch of the charging infrastructure is the key. Without it, Tesla would not be where it is today. They would be more like VW-based electric vehicles struggling to find customers.

This!

He said “most everyone”, which is true. Not many people put enough down to not be underwater on their car loan.

Came here to say pretty much the same thing. I don’t understand why this can even be a story. The bigger story was how anyone who purchased a new car just prior to the pandemic suddenly, and very likely, had positive equity in their purchase. I’m not sure that I can point to any other time in automotive history when…

I’ve never met a Nissan Titan that I couldn’t refer to ugly. From the first generation until now. Bonus points for the ugly as hell full size van too that’s based on the ugly as hell Titan.

Aside from working in a few small independent shops after high school, my work for the auto industry truly began in 1996. I began work for GM the same year this van came out. Your post made me math and I didn’t like the result of 28. I’ve held various positions direct positions and consulting work for the industry for…

My weird thing I do is twist and tip the nozzle into the filler before pulling it out away from the car. I do this solely for the purpose of not having gas drip on the side of my car. Especially after I just washed it.

I recently took the 401 (again) on a road trip from Detroit to Quebec. Traffic in eastern Ontario has been nothing short of a nightmare since at least the 90s and keeps getting worse with every decade. However, knowing this, I decided to leave home on a Thursday after coming home from work, which put me on the road by…

Umm... student loan payments are supposed to be less than a car payment, but here we are talking about it like it’s weird.

Everyone who wants one will get one, then sales will plummet.

The only answer is a bigger garage.

“Maybe it’s for the best, then, that “Top Gear” has come to an end and “The Grand Tour” will soon follow suit.”

As it turns out, comprehension of sarcasm is still pretty light north of the 49th parallel.

It’s still no BMW.

While I do understand the idea of wanting to avoid “polarizing issues”, but you can’t straddle both sides of the fence when it comes to human rights. You’re either on the correct side of history or you become an accomplice to its atrocities (Henry Ford, ehem!). While it’s one thing to hold no position, it another to…

Not a single story, but the origin of #becauseracecar and “Miata is always the answer”, along with many other memes, statements, and phrases that originated right here and are repeated or shared almost daily.

I’ll bet the neighbors that are complaining see no problem with running loud two-stroke weed trimmers and leaf blowers all goddamn day though.

Just to clarify, assuming he was single with no children, his total benefits would have been less than $20,000 (AU) per year for a total of about $100,000 (AU) over the five years. While I’m sure some of that money contributed to the Lamborghini, motorcycle, watches, and whatever else he purchased, I wouldn’t say it…
