I’ve done both Seattle winter and Detroit winter. I’ll take Detroit, thankyouverymuch. That 40 degree weather plus incessant gray skies and drizzle is soul-crushing. I’d rather deal with snow. 

It’s a sizeable campaign contribution though...

How can it be called a coupe if it has 4 doors? Does not compute....

Well I guess it’s a good thing that almost all pickups are driven by one person at low speeds in gridlock.

5th: YES! you should totally hire a non japanese speaking canadian shit poster with no writing experience from your comment section so see how long i err. i mean he or she would last before being thrown in jail!

neoliberal - free market, individualism, and oh yeah, lip service to some vague notion of equality

It’s scary how detached from reality Trump is. The guy has the understanding of a 5-year old. He can’t grasp even the simplest notions of demand-driven economy and basic business. Small wonder almost every business he touched crashed and burned. (steaks, vodka, mortgages, magazines, universities, casinos, bottled…

4th gear: Two things, both well know for the industry that Tesla is learning the hard way.

The hard part about FP comments is engendering discussion while keeping it concise — when I mentioned options and trimlines, I should have clarified that more of that should be put on the dealers, specifically to avoid making the production planning too complex. But even at the factory level, it’s much more manageable…

It’s a little more nuanced than you’re making it sound.

Yeah, like with Ford. Say what you will about the customer base for the F-150 and Mustang, but I’m hard-pressed to disagree with them focusing in on the above two and letting their boring sedans die off.
