Not going to lie, I’m pretty disappointed in the Jalop community on this one.

Another day another “The Tesla Cybertruck is not very good” story. Yawn. Did people really not know that putting ferrous iron on stainless steel out in the weather would result in rust? I feel like this is that Costco butter recall because they didn’t put that it contains milk on the package.

Yeah, I totally go make five-figure purchases specifically to tell the world I’m upset with a corporation’s CEO!

Screw the table man, the spare tire well is the much bigger news here. If it is plastic and has a drain hole, it is what SUV’s have been missing! How many times have you placed a gas can, used oil container, lasagna, or similar item onto the carpeted floor and worried about every bump? The ability to flip up a section…

As someone who’s had vinyl letters on the car before, this happens to normal cars too...

You are assuming that the housing market drops but your wealth and spending power isn’t similarly eroded?

It’s more than just the auto industry, though. Project 2025's environmental section is basically “let’s intentionally destroy as much nature as possible and purposefully make global warming worse.” Not even a “maximise shareholder value for a short while” kind of destruction, but “let’s commit environmental suicide”…

It’s ridiculous policy to allow car interest to be tax deductible.

A convicted felon / adjudicated rapist / 6-time-bankupt ‘businessman’ / seditionist / early-stage-dementia-patient / etc. has some thoughts...

Oh, great, so Rivian is the new Tesla. All warts, no lotion.

Yep.  Also, he clearly has no clue how tariffs work.  Not that he cares.  His tariff plan, if actually enacted, would be catastrophic, but it doesn’t even crack the top 20 of terrible things coming with another Trump presidency.

tRump is a nazi loving POS. Nothing he says about cars or anything else really matters. FUCK him and his idiot deplorables.

Remember that if you buy a Tesla, this is where your money is going. Some fascist lunatics may like that idea, but don’t delude yourself into thinking that’s not what buying a Tesla means.

I love how this reads like they’re talking about an invasive species.

It’s disappointing the BMW is sticking with its dual-use platform. The result is a compromised ICE setup and a compromised EV. I’d be interested in an EV M3, but not if it’s on a dual-use platform. 

I was gonna say. Since when is $2B a “whole lot” of money to the U.S. government? Don’t we pay something like 10x that amount in fossil fuels subsidies?

China has spent about $230 billion since 2009 or about $15 billion a year.

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.

Yeah, “big discount” in the title had me thinking in the $40k range at most. $63+k discounted is still too much.

$70-80k... and they wonder why nobody is buying them?
