I know there are still reasons to harness an air intake even for electric platforms, but I can’t help but be confused by what exactly they are supplying with the massive roof scoop.....

Reminds me of what Genesis is doing, which seems to get shitted on a lot for some reason. I personally like it 🤷

1st gear: This is so depressing to me. I’m finally at a point in my life where I could afford what I want, but this market pushes me out again. 

Well, a lot of people right now are looking at their loan balance and realizing that for the first time in recorded history, their car is now worth more than they owe on it.

It’s all about that GT90

meanwhile, Rivian already has electric trucks on the road

It is an interesting question that got me to thinking about how I have made that decision with my cars and the answer for the most part is I haven’t. Here is the rundown of the fates of my cars:

Can someone post the most satisfying list? The pay wall is infuriating.

What does that have to do with the incredible importance of the Postal system and the absolutely triviality of $3 billion?

It is insane that we think $3 billion over 20 years for a service as essential the Postal System is somehow a lot of spending.

While the USPS will no doubt get shit on for the extra cost of going electric, creating a large fleet of electric vehicles like this would actually drive a more wholesale community infrastructure updates making adoption of electric vehicles faster and easier for the public in years to come.

For fuxsake, “Pay it forward” at place where moderately affluent people order overpriced coffee from the comfort of their large SUV sounds comically pretentious and tone deaf, even during a time where virtue signalling for sport is common place.

... and if you’re in a line of 36 pay-it-forwards, nobody except the last guy is getting anything for free. You’re just paying for a different order than your own. That’s not charity. But then I don’t understand the whole Starbucks culture. Sure, I’ll drink their mocha once in awhile, but no over-roasted, overpriced an…

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

I don’t think quality is measured the right way.

first we need to define what is a “luxury brand”? according to google:

Look at how the general public takes care of their cars.  A lot of the QC issues are paint quality and panel gap issues - things many buyers either don’t notice or don’t care about.  Tesla has QC issues that would bother buyers (shit not working or falling off the car), but my guess is the frequency of those issues is…

20 years ago, I used National to rent. National has luxury cars for the big spenders and not luxury cars for the peons. It sucked walking past Lexus, BMW, etc. to go to the row of Cobalts where the decision was what color you hated less.

Luxury car pricing does not a luxury car make.

1st Gear: I can’t help but feel like there’s a lot of “Emperor’s New Clothes” effect with Tesla. Their quality control is objectively worse than all of their major competitors, but here they are eating up the market. Shit’s weird.
