Depends where you live. I used to live in NYC - and minivans are basically dead there. Only used by delivery drivers. But here in Silicon Valley - every third car is minivan.

Seems overpriced.. Crate engine with similiar specs is like 15k. Even considering conversion - don’t think that adds another 100k.

Love that Tesla is somehow doing ‘well’ despite being in the red every single year and every single quarter. Normal car companies can only make cars that make business sense. Does it make business sense to build your own supercharger network? Or does it make sense to add some range extender..

I dunno - glad its not my…

What?! Supernatural hasn’t been bad. Let’s talk about Vampire Diaries. Almost every year they impress with their twisty turn ridiculousness if you can hang in there.. Not this year.. Plus they sent Valerie away.. Boo.. It’s all slow painful awkward romances between characters with little on-screen chemistry..

We don’t have to start so big. A very good start would be to eliminate most street parking in NYC - you could build in permanent bike lanes then - or more streets without cars.

Google is likely right - but it won’t matter. They don’t make cars. Car makers will leave in steering wheels because pushy or drunk people will want to take over at moments notice. It’s about the market - not about what is best for people.

Human driven cars will get priced out - the car companies will pick up the insurance costs - provided you are in autonomous mode.. That will spell the end of human driven cars in the long run.

Hate articles with “We” in their headlines. Like why do “We” get fat? Or why do “We” hate Donald Trump etc. You don’t speak for me..

Don’t expect giant boats to return anytime soon. With autonomous cars will likely be a van shape.. Way more space efficient - and we have no need for giant engine sections..

I am not saying it doesn’t have useful abilities or isn’t a nice vehicle. I am saying that automakers believe that people will choose the trucks with more capabilities at lower prices over this one....even if they are not the perfect fit. Trucks are bought on potential not needs.

Current V8 is one of the best engines in the world and likely the last of a breed.. I’d pony up a little more to buy that - even if I lost out on a luxo option or two.

I call shenanigans on this. Market will choose against this. Book it.

Telsa fans LMAO. Sale price of a car does need to factor in R and D. So if they aren’t turning a profit - they are indeed selling below cost - assuming the volume is at reasonable levels.

Are they in the black yet? That seems to be the important point. Sales figures are totally arbitrary. Sell something below cost and you can ‘sell’ as many as you like..

Guys we need to stop holding one random drag as some kind of gospel. Reminds me of when Telsa beat the Hellcat.. Some cars take more skill then others to pilot. There is a some skill in drag racing.

Rolls doesn't cost anywhere near that much.. And it will hit 60mph no problem.. They top out like 78 MPH (not that its a good idea to go that fast). I bet its 0-30mph time is okay.. Only 50 HP - but at 7 liters probably doesn't take too long to rev to 3000 or whatever those things redlined at..

Taxis do not reduce the amount of cars on the road. Trains might - maybe buses but not taxis. Whenever driving has gotten easier - more people have driven and more people choose to drive.

I really like Chris Harris - but I think they should bring the other guys back instead..

No more traffic or speed limits. Now you are dreaming.. It’s an autonomous car- not magic. If you have alot of them on the road you still have traffic. This is an issue as the first thing people will buy is an autonomous 18 wheeler.. If the thing really can drive itself..why suffer?!

Yeah agree with big block.. even 15 years from now we will start seeing pressure.. All new cars with be autonomous - and insurance premiums will make them the attractive choice.
