THIS IS NOT ART I KNOW WHAT ART IS ART IS WHEN YOU PAINT A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF A BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE YOU COULD HAVE DONATED THESE CARS TO SOMEBODY I AM MAD 

Absolutely, but they still have the current regs for 2025, I don’t see Max leaving a dominant car before then and miss out on one more championship.

He’s turning into the Elon of this generation.  Edison was a Prick, Ford was one two.  Elon is blazing a new trail by being richer and more pricker than either.

In this case it seems like a sub-lease. Trump campaign is getting the suite and then charging more to allow more people in.  Verboten.

God is punishing the trains for going both ways...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Elon throw his weight behind cancelling a high-speed rail system in the LA area (or maybe California more generally) specifically so he could profit from The Boring Company’s attempts to create a Hyperloop? And then cancelled the Hyperloop project anyway? It’s insane that…

Yep, just missing all the body cladding. 

I think it looks rather good... But also can't deny there's some truth here 

I hope they have an adequate supply of gin and tonic.

So Tesla is selling the CyberCucks a worse version of this. Insert picture of the Pontiac Aztek tent since Kinja won't let me add a picture.

It is ok to think of your automobile as an appliance.  For most of the general driving public your car is a way to get from point A to point B.  We don’t all have to be enthusiasts.

• PHEVs are better than EVs

Hard agree. Which is a bit painful for me. I grew up in Lower Saxony, VW’s home state. They were always the home team (as in, lots of people in that region work for them or their suppliers, they’re a huge part of the economic and social fabric, etc.). I’ve been somewhat disillusioned with them for a while (the Piech…

Well now, it’s a good thing VW and it’s subsidiaries don’t have any historical cases of forced labor.  For example people being forced into work camps by an authoritarian government.

As a homeowner with one kid, as minivan would be better than our SUV, but not a necessity. But for a lot of other homeowner reasons a minivan would be much better I borrow my mother-in-law’s sienna all the time.
