Fair point, but if he tried to suddenly could liquidate $30 billion worth of TSLA it would almost certainly crash the stock. He could probably pull it off and TSLA would likely recover but if he can find someone else to pony up the dough why wouldn’t he?

It’s like all these arguments depict Musk and Bezos as counting their money as it sits in some Scrooge McDuckian vault somewhere.

As of posting this comment there are 109 people who need to justify your NP. Ya’ll trolling right? If not then you might be to blame for the ridiculous used car market.

But a 3 speed transmission? This wasn’t the 60's.

Incorrect. Maybe the marketing department in the US wants you to believe otherwise but a GTI is just another trim level in the Golf range. Go to the VW site in the UK or Germany and they don’t differentiate. It’s all just options on the configurator.

Vaping off into the sunset...

If you don’t want to pay over sticker, can’t you just order a car rather than try to find one off the lot? You’ll have to wait longer but at least you wouldn’t be getting screwed.

Paying people not to work is a massive oversimplification of the labor shortage, and cancelling unemployment won’t immediately solve the problem. Yes that has contributed to it a little, but there are a lot of factors you are ignoring. The mass relocation of people fleeing cities (where a many of those jobs are…

Just a reminder, batteries are heavy. For an EV, this is actually pretty light.

In that case it should have a green and gold pearl coat over the blue so it changes.

The 110 is only 7 inches longer than your LR4. Big, but not a long as, say, the new Ford Maveric, and it is a foot shorter than a Chevy Tahoe. The 90 is actually quite small. Nearly a foot shorter than your LR4.

A wagon with an higher roof is a crossover.

Ever increasing crash safety requirements play a big part in the high belt lines and extra thick pillars. Endless aerodynamic efficiency efforts make things even worse.

Tilt settings can usually be disabled. On my car, when then mirror adjustment switch is set to the passenger side, that side mirror tilts. Any other positions and the auto tilt is disabled.

Yep. Volvo used to do a bunch of stunts like this to demonstrate their safety features. I’ve also seen them dangle a 240 from a crane by its own seatbelts, stack a Volvo truck on the roof of a 960, etc.

Not selling a certain trim in a particular market doesn’t really reinforce the notion that they are somehow different models.

You sound like every bro who tried convince his friends that his SRT-4 wasn’t a Neon.

Fair point on the charging network. With any luck the won’t be true forever.

Leans? More like dives head first.

You realize the GTI is not a base Golf right?
