Indeed, it sounds like he’s answering two separate questions - Will it have a manual? (A: we built it, depends on whether you people will buy it) and Will it come in right hand drive? (A: Of course you morons it’s a Japanese car company and Japan is a RHD country)

Why wouldn't the concept headlights pass safety regulations?

Indeed, you cannot unsee this:

Hell yeah suicide doors! I had no hope of those making it to production but they are sweet nonetheless.

Yeah... even with all the fancy off-road bits, it’s still disappointing compared to the concept. The sharp, boxy styling, narrower grille and horizontal rectangular headlights of the concept look A LOT better:

Fair point, although I think a lot of investor interest in Tesla and its valuation is based on the potential that, as their technology evolves, they may one day become more than just a car company. Otherwise, I doubt they’d be able to raise enough capital to sustain the business and do the things they’re doing.

I don’t give two fucks about Ford’s attempts at electric/autonomous vehicles, because I’m never going to buy one. Ford is not Tesla. And regardless of the amount of bloviating coming from the C-suite, Ford stock is never going to be valued like a tech company, because Ford is not a tech company.

Goddammit, Audi... seriously?

Thanks Volvo!

But you couldn’t get it with AWD. This is significant.

Yes.
