TIL I am “wealthy”

Remember that time on Jalopnik a few weeks ago when EV’s were doomed and auto makers were better off cancelling all of their EV programs?

All common services are in the center of each floor.  One mens, one womens, a janitor closet and a small kitchen.   The only thing not centralized is the elevator banks, which you can see from the outside of the building.

I wasn’t even thinking about the reliability honestly. The Wrangler is just LOUD, the seats are stiff, the technology in the vehicle is very meh. It’s just not meant to be a daily driver. It’s fantastic offroad where it belongs, but people who use them as mall crawlers just seem insane to me. Why submit yourself to a…

This is every Wrangler based product. I still can’t wrap my head around how so many people daily drive Wranglers.  It is an absolutely abysmal vehicle to drive on the road for any period of time.

Lol k. For 90% of the Bolt’s production run, it was pretty consistently hated for being “ugly” and sales were just OK. All GM was told at the time was “why can’t you build something as cool looking as Tesla!”.

Lyriq pricing is wild. You can get anything from mid 50s up to over 80k.  Will be even more strange when the Optiq comes in.

The 24MY started over 40k.  The 25MY includes the LT which is available for well under $40k.

They can afford to be lazy because they know they already have all the voters they’re going to get.  This election won’t be about the Trump campaign getting more people to vote for them, it will be about the Harris campaign turning out the vote.

The Equinox EV starts at $33.6k. Again, stop.

$5-$10k based on what? The lowest model Equinox EV starts at $33.6k with 319 miles of range, WELL below the average price of a vehicle in the US. Why is it 5-10k too expensive? Just because you want to pay less than that?

However, their presence was enough to lead Vance to call himself an “ally” of the auto industry while on stage, adding that, should Trump win in November, the administration will throw its support behind the American auto industry.

Looks are subjective. The Equinox EV looks great, has plenty of technology, and comes in well below $66k. Same for the Blazer EV. Hell you can even get Lyriqs below $66k.

Correct. In the case of the Ren Cen, all of the critical utilities as well as elevators and emergency stairwells run up the center of each tower. So not only would they have to figure out how to create apartments out of circular floors, but they’d also have to move utilities and emergency stair wells. It’s not…

The internal structure of the Ren Cen is such that it would be obscenely expensive to try to convert any of the towers to residential. It would be more cost effective to simply demolish the building and rebuild, which is what should be done.

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.

And the Blazer EV and the Lyriq EV which are selling well and qualify for the rebates.

We’ll never be able to calculate it, but I’d love to know how that $2b compares to the amount the CCP has dumped into it’s EV industry to help them dominate globally.

What would Elon have to do in order for you to sell your car? I’m always curious about this question.

I gotta ask.  Why, knowing everything you know about how big of a piece of shit Elon Musk is, do you still go buy a Model 3?  Especially when there are so many other options?
