You could pay that much for a 24 year old Miata these days.

That would be called Drive To Survive ;)

To be fair, the Waymo didn’t go berserk with road-rage and run down the swarm of offending dorks riding their unlicensed and uninsured unicycles down the middle of the roadway... A human may very well have.

Something’s not right here. Who picks up a brand new vehicle and stops to refuel/charge after 35 miles?   If the vehicle wasn’t fully charged at delivery, then that’s a whole other story.

Brakes, engine parts, suspension... all likely available in the aftermarket, which should ease things.

I love WRC. The locale’s are beautiful, TV coverage is great, the cars are cool and the action pretty thrilling.

Pretty good written version.

“BrrrrrrrGUGUGUGUG-klonk-wshhhhhhhaaaaaawwwww-awwwwww-eeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr-neeooooooooooooowwwwwm-SHOOWOOOWOO.”

I’ll save the outrage. For the sake of my sanity, I’m going to assume those prices for a box suite, for 10-12 people. In that context, the prices are not far off any arena concession.

“the Energy Department’s Automotive Conversion Grant program will receive $50 million to help small and medium-size suppliers convert from manufacturing parts for internal combustion engine vehicles to manufacturing parts for the EV supply chain.”

All good questions and points. I know they’re outsourcing assembly, but not sure how much engineering is purchased. Mazda seems to need help with their EV program, so it couldn’t hurt.

I just checked Fisker Canada, and they’re offering $31K discount (off an $80K MSRP) on new in stock 2023 Oceans, available for delivery in 4 days! Almost 40% discount!

This is where governments need to ensure that AFFORDABLE repair and recycling is built into every new vehicle battery operation.

This look does not elevate the Ferrari brand.

2nd Gear:

I don’t think its too ludicrous. Better it sticks to the asphalt, where owners are most likely to drive them.

Hey, I’d pay to watch fast drying paint, if it meant I could do 2 coats in a morning.

Just checking, did this guy have a job? I’m guessing not, as he was likely living off the land, hunting, gathering etc., Just like his forefathers did... /S

I totally get that.

No mention of exclusivity for M-B vehicles.
