He set a price so it wont sell and he can tell his wife “I tried to sell the car, but it didn’t sell. The market just isn’t good for this car. I guess I will wait and try again next spring and hope the market is better”

I don’t think this was a good way for Koenigsegg to correct the record. They should have tweeted, “Quick jump on this One:1 before Bonham’s figures out how much it’s really worth”... which would have alerted Koenigsegg’s Saudi clientele, that follow their Twitter page, this auction is coming up and they need to bid

$1 mil is all you need for driving perfection,

It’s probably a centrifugal supercharger, versus the Roots style that most people are familiar with - they look pretty much like a turbo, just with a belt drive on it. Doesn’t make the terminology correct, but probably the source of his confusion.

1st/Neutral: Mazda would be a top-tier brand tomorrow if they addressed the dealer experience nationwide.

Yup. My Mazda6 daily gives me better looks and a bit of zoom zoom for a 4-cylinder Honda Accord price. I wouldn’t have bought it against a luxury brand.

Neutral: I really enjoy Mazda. I drive a Miata as my daily, and I would absolutely consider buying something like a Mazda 3 down the road when I grow up and actually start driving a grown-up car, some day.

They called it the Mazda THREE - they knew what they were doing...

Just pointing out the disparity in Jalopnik’s reporting.

Because they’re not a new “sexy” brand that generates clicks on stories. Given pure volume of vehicles on the road, incidents with brands like Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, and so forth should top the news every day but they don’t because they’re boring stories. Tesla, on the other hand, is a relatively new player so it

Can’t say I’ve seen too many cars spontaneously combust while parked.

You’re acting like this is a mechanical problem.

The fact that you don’t know if users can delay updates makes me question your second assertion about rushed updates.

Neutral:

Neutral: Everyone willingly loads all their data up into the Cloud. Such a nice, friendly sounding name.

Not to argue with you as you might be right, however if you look what has happened to the price of batteries in the last ten years it won’t be long before electrics are cheaper to make / sell, at that tipping point the market will shift because nobody will want to buy a used ICE car 5 years beyond the tipping point.

The automakers are stuck between a rock and a hard place when consumer desire does not match the requirements of regulation.

Let’s sack everyone over 50” “oh all our   Experience and best practices are being lost? How did that happen?”

The fucking Takata airbag recall took over TWO years to get fixed on my wife’s car.  The dealers didn’t have anything to replace the airbags with.  Pass all the laws you want, they won’t fix that problem.
