My cousin said she swore of German luxury cars after leasing an A3. It wasn’t that reliable and the maintenance costs were astronomical in words. Of course, she moved up the job ladder and what do you know, she bought a used Porsche Macan. This time she went in eyes wide open knowing what the costs would be and she…

We'll need the kids once we lock up and deport all the people here working their asses off. 

Ah the Elon gambit, ramping any day now! It’s hard to find any coverage that doesn’t read like a PR press release. I'll believe it when I see actual volume production and sales. 

Four. Is the Tesla Semi still a thing?

It’s scuzzy to say they’re doing something to help with an emergency and then not really offer much in the way of delivering. StarLink hardware is expensive and it will be next to impossible to deliver the hardware to the areas most impacted. Thanks for nothing.

They made the mistake of letting the price creep up way too much. I bought a new Hybrid Ford Maverick for $25k MSRP. A new Miata has got to cost less than a more functional vehicle.

Of course and a dealership is no guarantee of great service. I was just joking because everybody hates on franchised dealerships and says every car company should do what Tesla is doing regarding selling and servicing cars. I think this story exemplifies why the dealership model, though loathed, does work. A…

The future of no dealerships! Your car isn't charged, is filthy, and has several errors on the screen. Enjoy! 

By more he means newer. And it will be beautiful because it was cheap when not by the sea and then it's expensive because the sea is there and all the people who were fleeing the sea need new homes. Really big stuff. 

While this is certainly helpful, at least for the ID.4 VW provides best practices for charging and preserving battery life. The standard setting is to not charge above 80% and they recommend not leaving the vehicle at full charge for extended periods of time and to only fully charge if truly needed. Given the…

They have one of these in their Boston showroom near the Hynes convention center. Totally makes sense to show a robot manequin when trying to sell cats. 

I love that we have so many generations of designs across the years too. There really isn’t a bad design across the whole lineup. I’m a big fan of Mazda design overall. 

First available ones are going to be crazy overpriced. There’s the whole boomer nostalgia thing combined with the younger influencer crowd that restores the old ones for insta/tik tok. Just like the dumb CyberTruck brings in the idiots with too much money to spend.

I finally feel like there's a motorcycle for me. Thanks woke! 

My assumption is Elon is facing significant legal issues and he's buttering up Trump to call off the dogs/pardon his ass. My other thought, though less likely, is Elon hopes Trump will have Uncle Sam buy fleets of made in the USA Teslas. 

Au Contraire! They love it when THE man in the Red Hat tells them what to think and do. 

I bought one, but decided against a second one as I managed to get a Hybrid Maverick at a great price. The Maverick is great for longer trips where charging might be tricky and for doing general truck stuff. If a Rivian were cheaper, maybe. The domestic truck EVs are way to big for my needs. 

How about a used EV? Let that depreciation work for you! 

It shows how desperate Twitter must be for money. This type of action would best be negotiated in meetings, not courtrooms. And all the advertisers will have to show in court is Elons dang tweets. Can't imagine a judge ruling in favor of Twitter here,though like you, I have no legal knowledge. 

It’s sadly the paradigm of justice that values the “economy” over prosecuting fraud. Elon’s corporate universe is far too big to bring down for fear that treating Tesla like Enron will have too many knock on effects on the economy that can’t be predicted. Unfortunately that dynamic lets malfeasance become so…
