I mean, it’s not THAT hard.

I will point out that, oddly enough, I saw my first Carolina Squat in person yesterday when an old Escalade passed me going the other way. My first though was ‘How the hell does he see out of that thing?’

“but that doesn’t negate that they may be on the right side of the argument just for the wrong reasons”

I agree.

Sorry, David; but pointing out that modern SUVs and trucks have visibility issues out of the factory cannot be a defense for making those issues worse with a modification. The motivations may be bigotry or general assholeness, but that doesn’t negate that they may be on the right side of the argument just for the…

That’s ugly as hell...a Volvo fucked a Civic and out popped a pug.

If you bought a brand new S Class, you made a piss poor decision, considering the depreciation is akin to a rock falling off a cliff.

Quick look at pricing for premium EVs:

buy american! sure america is tied to oil, but we tie ourselves to all corporate interests equally! no oppression of *cough*white*cough* women to be found, and we don’t kill journalists, only give tacit approval to those who do!

A base model 7 series is 86k, 103k for a 750i, all the way up to 157k for an M760. The base S class is 110k. A Tesla Model S starts at $69420, all the way up to a loaded up Plaid+ for 157k. All of those cars sell fairly well. I don’t think the price is unreasonable.

Perfect for holding your plastic bags of gasoline!

Because BLUE LIVES MATTER YOU MARXIST CRIMINAL LOVER.

The oak tree next to the fence or the one next to the road?

I don’t invest.

I kind of agree with you and love the silence of my Model Y (one of the few without the PWS and Boombox) but I’m actually thinking about retrofitting it because people simply just don’t hear you in parking lots and I feel like a dick creeping up behind someone and honking the horn. If I had the option to retrofit but…

Probably because it’s incredible dangerous to have 1 ton of steel flying around in complete silence?

It should just be The Jetsons’ sound, industry wide.

“Capitalism makes a better case for socialism than socialism ever could.”

This is like the anti-Supra. Understated instead of over-styled, distinct nods to its heritage. Give it the 400hp TT V6 and a stick, price it in the low-40s to compete with the Mustang GT and undercut the I6 Supra, and you’d have to win hearts and minds of enthusiasts everywhere, right?

Over the past 40 or so years, our country has deferred maintenance on the road system because taxes bad, gas must be cheap and freedom. We’ve also systematically cut almost all the strings to our safety nets, deregulated everything we could get away with and what we’ve ended up with is a world where honestly, Trucks…

Why don’t we just have headlights/taillights on anytime the engine’s on. I’m ok with a switch to disable (drive in movies, etc), but the “default” state should be “motor on = lights on”. No longer need DRL’s or automatic light sensors for that.

Only justification I’ve seen for having headlights “off” by default is to…
