That’s entirely dependent on whether or not you qualify for the $7500 and what is your alternative. I would not qualify for the $7500 either but I’m pushing for a Model 3 instead of the upcoming CLE that the Mrs wants. If you want to talk useless resale, German cars make Teslas look like a bargain.

“worthless” is always a weird word to use for automotive value. even if the resale value drops it’s still a car and does everything it did before.

*sigh* the burden of being rich.

BuT yOu aRe ANTI ev .  LOL  kudos for a rational take.

I mean... I, the armchair auto-enthusiast, think that Toyota is picking the right path here. Hybrids and PHEVs in the short term and let everyone else eat massive R&D costs into some technological dead ends. Solid state batteries (soon) and super caps (further out) were always going to be the long term solution. Both…

...isn’t highly regulated.

Sorry, that won’t stop any thief from stealing your catalytic converter.  It will just mean that they’ll have to steal more of them to make the same amount of money since they’ll now have to deal with someone who’s sending them by container to overseas locations.

Anyone trying to win the 24hrs of Le Mans in the first corners during the first lap is a massive crétin.

If this whole Garage 56 Nascar thing has taught us anything, it’s that Nascar should bring back functional headlights.  Simply replacing the stickers with actual housings makes the car look better.  Having them actually work (obvious with this race) would be the cherry on top.

Would be interested to see how many of the roads under these low bridges lead to a recreational or residential area that was very popular pre-1980. The type of places where certain well known city planners intentionally designed bridges to keep buses from moving certain people into those areas...

It was designed that way by Robert Moses to keep busses off of the parkways. Busses of poor non-white people.

isn’t the Lightning’s towing capacity like 2 tons lower than the regular F150?

That’s a Ute and you know it.  

You mock now, but you’ll be wiping egg off your face while eating crow out of the other side of your mouth when the Cybertruck comes out in 2077!

Of the probably hundreds that GM have done, this is the only “special commemorative collector’s edition special” I’ve ever kind of wanted. 

Sure, but if it runs the full 24 hrs AND tops the entire GTE field, that would be an INSANE achievement for this team.

I’m an old guy who grew up when open homophobia was not just the norm, it was literally considered a moral imperative. To be called “gay” or “fag” were among the worst insults.

The rainbow motif as executed here may be a bit much for my personal taste, mostly as I don’t really like any decals or even bumper stickers on a car (not even when talking iconic decals), but I absolutely friggin love the sparkly gold. If I were designing it I’d have done the rainbow as a gradient transitioning along…
