It’s about a... wait for it... car.

As I understand it, Tesla and CCS communications protocols are very different.

1st Gear: Normally when prices are inflated, people move to the used car market, but dealerships are also buying up a lot of the used car stock at the moment. Because of the auto-centric design of most of the country, most people need cars, so they’re kind of force into paying these prices.

Found the California republican...

Oh I'm fully aware of dealers doing "market adjustments" and have in fact mentioned it in the next paragraph.

Alright, here’s the difference - other manufacturers use the MSRP as a ceiling. Car X costs $30,000. Can you get it for cheaper? Sure, depending on discounts. But a publication still treats it as though it’s $30,000. Even if nobody is paying that, it’s officially $30,000. And if the price changes, then they report on

From left to right; dad, passenger, driver. Driver and passenger are wearing matching work shirts. I bet driver works for dad’s business and they were “working” at the time of the accident. I can’t wait to find out who they are. 

Working in the chemical industry I’m curious why a seal leak would lead to a spill that lasts long enough to be captured on video by air. There should be an isolation valve between the tank and the pump(s), typically a valve on either side of the pump. 

The problem with “Just-in-time” is everyone only reads surface deep into it and doesn’t truly understand the philosophy of it. People just think that inventory=bad when that is not at all the case. Toyota had a chip shortage like 10 years ago (I think during the Japanese tsunami?) and so they adjusted chip inventory

Yeah, well, back when your grandfather was alive that may have been true but if the last 20 years have taught us anything is that there really are differences that we need to pay attention to.

It’s not what people do with trucks, it’s how those people perceive they’ll use the trucks. A buyer may never tow a damned thing, but they’re going to want a truck that can because ‘what if boat’ or ‘what if camper’. People have drawers full of shit that they don’t need, but they bought those things anyway because it

Most trucks don’t have this, and the ones that do are beat up shitty old trucks that will never be replaced because they owners are living off government money while screaming about how much they hate Socialism...

Every pickup driver that still has a Trump 2020 sticker on the bumper disagrees with you.

1. Dollars and sense will appeal to fleet buyers and that’s good.

It’s almost criminal how good those steelies look.

“No subsidies...if the product is as great as its defenders always claim, it should be able to stand on its own merits”

Agreed, also, 600 miles but when you factor in subfreezing temps its more like 500. Also is it really 600 miles or is it 600 Tesla miles? The ID 4 has about 250 mile range and the Model Y has a 300 mile range but both get about 250 miles in real world driving. Many Tesla owners say they never get the stated range in

Which makes me wonder who 600 miles of range is really for.

David, why did they downsize the pentastar for the KL?  its not physically smaller, and the transmission could handle the additional torque.  such a weird call.

The XLR could have and should have been so much more than a thinly-disguised C5 with middling fit/finish and a worse motor than the contemporary (and better) C6
