When was the last time the UAW made an argument in good faith?

GM is spending $9B on US battery manufacturing facilities and are spending $1B to update their existing Ramos plant for electric vehicles. The UAW is just playing political games, they won’t be happy unless GM builds everything exclusively in the US which will never happen again.

That was 13 years ago. The loans were paid back early and in full. Get over it.

This is an Erik post, after all. Shitty journalism is his brand.

So. Like. One night we have an article about how amazing the Mk7 GTi is and then the next night we have an article shitting on a new small crossover from VW. Without even, in any capacity, reviewing the car or what it’s like inside or even what benefits it may have.

They also have a habit of unilaterally murdering people, sometimes with little to no provocation.

Which is the killer. If you spend all your (very significant) commuting/business time in a saddle, it makes sense, 110%. Some electrons, a little schmoo squirted into the various fittings now and then, new meats and pads, plus a barely necessary inspection sound about right for the yearly costs?

Us casuals, who…

I would argue that it DOES work as advertised. If the driver is doing what Tesla says is their responsibility, like staying in the seat with your seatbelt on, watching the road, and keeping your hands on the wheel, it works as intended.

I’m going to preface this with: I’m not a Tesla owner or a fanboy.

I guess I’m alone here in thinking that $35k is actually a good price for a nice looking 300hp, 6 speed manual, widebody, hatchback, homologation, rwd biased-capable AWD, brand new car.... with a warranty. 

Batteries, particularly the explode in fire kind, are already regulated. Whether they are effectively regulated, or regulated for the correct things, is a different issue.

Implying you’re more likely to die in a Tesla than in other cars? I’m pretty sure that’s false.. how about looking up some actual data instead of just spouting old opinions over and over every time somebody wrecks a Tesla?

Really, a *third* article on this subject when there’s still essentially no facts available to discuss?

The only thing worse than 80s muscle cars were 70s (post 71) muscle cars.

Agree all around. The optional bigger engine tows more than enough for most ppl and the bed could be useful. I mean not for ppl who populate this forum and seem to move plywood and build homes from scratch every weekend but for normal ppl itll be handy to dump some shit into and drive off.

If they sold this here for $5,000 I would buy one.  90% of my trips are under 20 miles and all side streets.  I would keep my truck for longer journeys, but day to day this thing would be perfect for my actual use.  It would probably pay for itself in fuel and maintenance on my truck in a few years.  

wtf kinda lawnmower do you have? the grom will do 62 on flat ground with much worse aero putting 8hp to the wheel. 

Interesting feature in a car. Terrible feature on a web site.

My Viper has extra wiring from the factory in the rearview mirror specifically designed to connect a radar detector.
