It is still a road car, though. You could take the One grocery shopping, you can take it on a highway road trip, it has about a dozen miles of electric range so you should be able to take it through London’s ULEZ area no problem

I’m confused. How are car seats driving down birthrates?

I believe the thinking is that it’s yet another expense involved with raising a child.

lmfao, this is the epitome of the old george carlin bit about how republicans only care about you until you are born, and after that you can get fucked

This is the future Republicans want.

He and Trump aren’t even pretending that they don’t believe in the Great Replacement theory at this point.

If this is the case then that’s also crazy to me. You can have a couple year old minivan for less than a new Camry. So a car that can carry 3 kids (and their seats) is far from the highest costs of having 3 kids. Hell, childcare for the kids alone would surpass the cost of a car in less than a year. Average infant…

Sounds like NASCAR is following the TicketMaster/LiveNation method of acquiring all the venues so they can charge whatever they feel.

“American families aren’t having enough children.”

Ah, so he was trying to dogwhistle but accidentally foghorning even back then.

Dad gum it Lurlene, I was awantin another kid but them thar fancy Librul car seads done cost as much as couple of boxes of 9mm that I needs to by to keep us safe, we will hafta bee happy with the elebem we gots.

I don’t think a slight whiff of hypocrisy is a problem for them if it means even more money.

So he does or doesn’t want kids to have to be in car seats? I’m confused. Also, I hardly think that a car seat is even in the top 10 cost items people really think about when it comes to having kids.

No, but they like money and oil so that helps.

Pretty decent write up. Emphasis needs to be added that the charter agreement that 13 of the 15 teams signed not only include language waiving their right to sue for anti-trust, but also the fact that NASCAR would also own the likeness rights to the teams for the durations of the charters.

This is why I always think it’s weird when people on Jalop say letting Chinese cars free into the US car market would force US/Foreign OEM’s to figure out a way to make cheaper EV’s.

$2B is pocket change compared to the overall economy and what China has invested. It's almost a negligible amount considering what needs to be done.

That’s not even close to the conspiracies that Musk himself promotes.

CCP also doubled their incentives for people trading in ICE for EV... Tesla was a major recipient and helped with their boosted deliveries.

I was gonna say. Since when is $2B a “whole lot” of money to the U.S. government? Don’t we pay something like 10x that amount in fossil fuels subsidies?

Given Musk’s insanity and delusions of of grandeur, and his complete control of Tesla, I expect Tesla will continue to seem to be doing well until it’s finally discovered that Musk has been badly cooking the books and faking sales to keep the con going and the company tanks overnight. But not before Musk dumps as much…
