The liveries are the problem. I don’t mind if cops drive Explorers, but in my city their Explorers are black paint, wheels, and trim and then the city name is written in barely readable slightly different color black paint. And this is every car. You can’t even tell whether it’s a police vehicle or not until you are…

Not to mention (at least in my area), DoorDash and UberEats delivery people are the most entitled assholes on the planet. They’ll walk into a restaurant, go right to the front of the line and DEMAND their order be given to them immediately so they can get it to a customer.

I see people in my neighborhood getting McDonalds delivered, and all I can think is “why are you like this?”.

Customers and drivers arguing over who should pay what, meanwhile the actual services are sitting over here like “please don’t look this way”.

We’re doing nothing to make roads safer for pedestrians, but also nothing to make roads safer against road rage. I’m not sure how it is where anyone else lives, but it’s pretty hard to get pulled over in the Metro Detroit area for pretty much anything these days.

Because maaaan, they can like, relate to him maaaaan.

Don’t forget, it has to be used!  Because what kind of asshole wants to take the depreciation hit on a brand new car!

The other issue is that a lot of the “cool new tech” is going into EV’s, and people want cool new tech, but they don’t realize that shit is expensive to execute.

Welcome to recent Jalopnik, where commenters love cars, but writers would prefer cars be eliminated as part of society.

GM comes out with cheap BEV... “GM is stupid for trying cheap cars”

If you know anything about auto journalism, you know that GM hate drives clicks, which makes money. There will never be a shortage of people who want to tell you they will never buy a GM car because their baby sitters, mothers, hair stylists grandma got a flat tire in one of her GM cars back in the 1980s.

Yea OP just sounds like a Honda cheerleader.

Just because people have an education and money doesn’t mean that excludes them from being a “cousin”. My brother in law is a college educated high earning professional and he is the “cousin”.

This game, at least in early guesses, relies so much on luck. Yesterday my first word was explode at like 984 and then explodes, missile, missiles, and finally rocket. I was able to solve Semantle in 5 guesses. The day before that? 167 guesses, and I don’t think I got a top 1,000 word until maybe 120?

Wow.  Who shit in your Cheerios this morning?

Agree.  That’s why you keep the dealers for service/storage, but you don’t allow them to have any control over the sales process.  The single worst thing I’ve heard about Tesla is that when you DO need service, it’s a nightmare.

Why do you think major OEMs wouldn’t want to do direct sales?  It saves them significant money.

If your foot is just resting lightly, nothing will happen other than wearing your brake pads a bit. The problem is that you can never tell if these people are stopping or not.

The Lyriq has gotten pretty well rounded praise for it’s styling...  The EV Equinox seemed to get quite a bit a praise as well.  It’s a start?

I’ll be honest with you, I really don’t care about your momentum. I live in a neighborhood where LOTS of people walk. The amount of times I’ve seen near collisions between walkers and bicyclists because the bicyclists want to “keep their momentum” is way too damn high.
