Agreed. The Bolt is the second-most affordable EV behind the Leaf, and only by a few $k. Sure, that’s not nothing money for most people, but pointing out the two most expensive EVs that GM makes and then claiming they don’t make inexpensive EVs is just willful ignorance.

I feel like Kia and Hyundai both make relatively affordable EVs as well with the Soul and Kona EVs. Even the ID.4 isn’t that expensive. The Bolt and Leaf are the cheaper options but these days I feel like anything sub $40K USD is “affordable” considering the average new car sold right now is around $47K.

Right. And the Commander was Jeep’s very first three-row. The SJ Grand Cherokee never had a third row unless there’s some special version somewhere.

True, but Apple can take credit for iTunes. That was the really revolutionary thing about the iPod—the marketplace that went with it.

Young man, there was a time before phones had the capability of holding music.

Probably fine assuming you aren’t driving around, much the same way that roof top tents (with people inside) vastly exceed what roof racks are rated for.

You can get a tach to display on the Sniper screen I’m pretty sure. It’d be lots of extra work, but I’d seriously consider rigging up a sleek mounting system I could stick the Sniper screen when I wanted it out, but also have a little hidey-hole I could stick it for most cases when I want it hidden.

It’s not even remotely true! The history of F1 is the history of teams giving zero fucks about the safety of their drivers. Just look at Lotus’s recurring cycle: “oh wow, our driver is amazingly talented! What’s that, build a car that won’t fall apart in a slight breeze? No no, it’s much cheaper and faster to build a…

If god didn’t want me to clean out my ears with a qtip why did he put a button in there that feels oh so so good when I hit it?

No flights are prioritized over any other. All aircraft operating within an airspace need to be allocated takeoff slots, based partly on the limited number of runways. Furthermore, IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) takeoffs are sometimes held on the ground (a ground hold) until the destination airport has a landing slot…

Another question is who foots the bill if the ship has to unload somewhere else? Who pays for the ship’s fuel and operating costs?

Your KBB is trade in value....

My understanding is that Disney Cast Members don’t point with one finger because it is considered rude in some cultures and they want to be welcoming to all peoples.

Bro, this is the issue. It’s possible to have varying levels of bad and both sides still be called out. Just being less wrong doesn’t justify being wrong. Those kids are idiotic dicks.  The convoy is just filled with more-idiotic dicks. 

“I love how this is the line all the way up to and beyond them actually storming the Capital. Just ignore them, they’ll just grow in fervor until there’s an unorganized outburst of political violence, nbd.”

“A bunch of kids chased the People’s Convoy out of the Berkeley-Oakland area of San Francisco late last month by pelting vehicles stuck in traffic with armfuls of Safeway eggs, SFGate reports. Drivers were surprised at the reaction of Bay area residents and pissed they had to scrub their vehicles...Maybe they were…

Totally agree and very insightful. I believe we are headed to a direct distribution-type model either in a “direct” way (i.e. Tesla model) or indirectly as you described.

Agree that corporately owned dealerships are much more likely to respond to unflattering press and social media. I think they may also be much more interested in automating the buying process. Or I’d think they would. Potentially.

Yeah, unless you’re retired, you’ll never use it enough to justify its huge price.
