The simulation is getting weird AF

Stellantis wants to get it dealers ready for EVs? Funny - maybe they should start by getting them ready for the very traditional stuff they’re already selling.

I doesn’t really matter. The big thing we have to realize is that America needs an effective 3rd party. Doesn’t matter which one.

I’ve also sold three Cars to Carvana and all the sales were flawless as well.

I didn’t see the part of your comment about Adesa, go look at how they financed that deal and you will see how terrible an idea that move was. Best part is, Apollo bought most of those bonds. Adesa is a good as Apollo’s at this point and they will get it for $1.5bn or $700mm less than the $2.2bn sale price.

Property values so high, and you’re scamming like, I don’t know, $8,000 car.

Please explain how they went “ bonkers”. Biden is pretty much the equivalent of what a Republican president used to be. He’s a moderate Democrat. That is why he was chosen: to peel off a few of the Republican voters disgusted by Trump but not willing to vote for someone more liberal. Given the circumstances we’re in-…

The reason for the shift right is that when the left got its chance to govern they went bonkers....Whichever party realizes that the best approach is to be more to the center will be able to win most elections. The extremists on both sides need to be silenced.

It’s especially hilarious that the hypocritical bastards ADMIT that they don’t really give a shit about the issues they use to gin up voters. Does this double hypocrisy, of not only doing the thing they claim to not want and then admitting they really don’t care about it, affect the vote? Nope, a bunch of racist,…

4th Gear: absolutely right. Over-throw the government, deny reality? Get rewarded with a majority.

First gear: I don’t believe a single word that comes out of that dude’s mouth. Musk is a perfect example of why CEOs need to keep their mouths shut when it comes to anything other than legitimate business discussions. He is the primary reason I will never buy a Tesla.

Fourth gear:
Too little, too late. People have…

There is probably a minimum of $100k in service upgrades, and often much more than this amount, to allow several 150 Kw or 350 Kw chargers.

The Ikea use case is sort of ridiculous overall. How many times a year does the average person go furniture shopping? Casual dining & supermarket chains are a far more logical locations for charging infrastructure. Unfortunately, that also means your server/checker is going to be required to become an EV charging…

It’s not common now, but back in the 19th century and into the early 20th century, to be “shangaied” was to be kidnapped and put on board a ship and forced to work on it. The American version of why they declared war in 1812 against England was because the Brits were shangai-ing US fishermen from New England and press…

The biggest problem with self- driving cars (and why its taking so long) is not the cars or even the tech and roads.. but rather the relatively slow adoption with other humans still on the road and doing completely unexpected and quite frankly confusing things (even to other humans, let alone software)

I sort of liken…

Yeah, same here.  If I can someday buy a car that does full actual does-not-need-any-human-involvement “self driving,” I’m all in and will be napping or reading my book ASAP.  Until then, adaptive cruise control is as far as I’ll go.

My 80 Malibu was self-driving. If you floored it, the throttle would stick to the floor because of the floor mat, and it was common for the lock cylinder to fall out of the steering column when you hit a bump so that the steering wheel would lock into position.

Musk is about as believable as George R. R. Martin.

Ford is laying off 8,000 people and you want me to believe that they’re going to be the ones to topple Tesla?

Look, only one person is winning the “arms” race, and it’s me.
