Here’s my thing with that 1% scenario. What do I do in that situation? Do I plan the route to a compatible charger for an hour stop for every 3 hours of driving (for close to full charge.)? Do I pay$2k for 4+ plane tickets? Do I pay a few hundred dollars for a rental? These extra expenses are on top of the ~25% more…

You’re not the type of customer they want. They want to make your life hell so that more don’t do the same.

Seriously, it takes me years after each round of shopping for a vehicle before I can stomach the thought of entering a dealership. I cannot fathom doing it all year long.

Probably making sure that management is not allowed to fire those to blame. If people are fired, the UAW didn’t protect jobs. If people leave a toxic environment, well that’s a)their choice, b)management’s fault(see first sentence).

They’re doing their job. I don’t think it was wrong for them to pursue the best possible benefits. Not at all. I’m just commenting on the potential consequences, as I see it.

I’m happy for them, but still feel like it allows them to live apart from the reality of the rest of the country. Everyone else is shouldering more and more medical debt. It’s a major running point for the Dem candidates. Union workers keeping this nearly unmatched coverage means they still have that excuse to stick…

In comedy, timing is everything.

2nd Gear: If you extrapolate from the cost of their Vacuums, Fans, etc; The car would have probably started at $200k anyway.

From Bangle-Butt to Hooydonk-Face. Who wore it better?

These are cool and all, but I just want a Jimny.

I totally agree. I just wanted to lament the fact that we’re most likely to get two things:

Counterpoint:

Too bad it’ll cost triple-Jimny prices.

I drove a 34 footer with a trailered C/K Blazer from NM to MO. Even considering a gas stop was stressful. 

Or a solar setup. 

That combined with the desire to cast an image of success by getting more car than they can afford. They’re already at the upper limits of that desire vs income. Sub services are a step too far, like you said.
