I keep forgetting the Model 3 is rare outside of Palo Alto, I almost tboned one doing a u turn on a blind corner this morning. Looked like he was picking up his buddy who was walking with parts to a Model 3 that had been crashed the corner before. I didn’t get a good look at the crashed one but it was on the side of…

Had he not tried to make a profit off it he might have gotten away with it.

Did comcast finally get internet to your rock? /S Anyways 42k is just MSRP, a lot of dealers still have 10-30k markup on a car you can get your hands on really easily.

Tell that to my wives Sonic. We were constantly tracking down coolant issues with that thing right up until the outlet pipe cracked in half at the mold lines. By the time we got pulled over the head had already warped.

There was no replacing that powershift trans to fix the problem. Unless it gets a completely redesigned box or a regular automatic its still going to be the same crap.

Didn’t they drive off the lot “broken already”?

Just the modern traction control systems alone are more impressive to me than a iPad. Cars also have to be real time operating systems, iPads don’t. You should show them the Nissan Rouge with surround cameras and the Corvette which has the option to take video for track days. Sure its not one car but I am sure there…

One of the services my friend offers his clients is to take their Tesla to the shop to get the required number of times for the lemon law to apply and then gets Tesla to buy it back. So far he is 15 for 15 because they can’t seem to fix the issues before sending the car back to the owner. He started this service after…

Sunnyvale Ford might be the exception to that rule. 3k markup on a base model Focus. You can generally knock off that markup but that brings it down to MSRP and the unassuming buyer thinks they won.

I have never seen a Eagle outside the talon. I thought that was a one model brand. Let me tell you, you haven’t lived until you have done 130mph in the snow in a 1991 eclipse. By 130mph I mean sitting on the side of I80 in the snow shifting through each gear floored with the ebrake on not moving an inch. That car was…

It seems this is to be expected on the Civic X platform. Both coworkers with this gen civic are on their second transmission, one a manual and the other with a CVT. They have had some various continual issues that prompted a replacement by Honda. Those issues are still continuing though to a lesser extent.

Well you can’t overcome the cryo fuel problems, physics as we know it currently won’t allow it. You have one of those three options, maybe a fourth if you put a solar array on top but its not always sunny.

There are a lot of kinks to work out still. Hydrogen is a cryo fuel so my car either needs to burn fuel while parked to keep it cool, be plugged into a wall, or vent my fuel to atmosphere while parked. Infrastructure aside this is the one of the other issues that seems to be one of the most overlooked issues.

This car right here is why Ford is doing such a in depth job of deciding who gets to buy the new GT.

Have you bought painters tape recently? Its not just 20 cents more for the good stuff.

To be fair you likely can pay 3000 dollars to turn on the middle speeds as well as the intermittent wipers setting. If you pay just 4500 you get rain sensing wipers.

I think it just doesn’t fit with their design style. Or it’s just so slightly off a shade compared to other brands similar red that it looks fine on those cars but it looks way worse on the Teslas.

He could have just parked it in a parking lot in Palo Alto with a for sale sign and his number and gotten just as much traffic without publicly advertising a price.

I am seeing these cars multiple times a day now and that front just gets worse the more I see it. Red is the worst offender. It looks even worse on the…

Might be, but he lives 10 minutes from the firm. I asked him today about it and he said that it just felt numb to him. I’m not sure what he was expecting with a luxury brand. His reasoning for the Model X was his wives doing. As for looks it’s not hideous like other Toyota products but it’s just bland. It’s like…

I have, one of the partners at my firm had the black one for a few weeks before selling it and buying a Model X. He didn’t give much of a reason for getting rid of it other than he just didn’t like it like he did during the test drive. These guys do some weird shit, another partner sold his Model X for the first Bolt…
