I wondered about that... I think the assumption is that they’ll just get rid of the $7500 subsidy, but the other parts that help domestic companies may stay.  But then... I wouldn’t bet on them making smart choices.

Kinda love it.  So, easy NP for me.

Musk and Tesla are simply really confident that their margin advantage will survive the loss of the subsidy.  Maybe it will?  It’s potentially a huge loss to anyone that bundled in the subsidy to reduce lease costs.  The subsidy itself isn’t going to improve Ford’s and GM’s margins, but it does get money into the…

Definitely and completely. Fog, snow, rain... all of which will completely baffle it.

Can’t get the delicious, delicious clicks that way.

Yeah… I have no idea how often that happens.  Probably the police version of “I can’t buy an EV until they can go 600 miles on a charge - I might have a road trip one day!”

A 5+ year old boring VW for $30k? LOLND.

The thing I always find weird:  everyone who rides in my Model 3 opens the doors with the mechanical release first. I don’t have to point it out. I spend more time explaining how the electronic release works.

Kinda makes sense with the range the Air has. And it is much bigger... I was honestly surprised that a department would even consider the 3... it isn’t a big car.

In his first term, Trump rolled back over 100 environmental policies and regulations. Biden stepped in and restored many of them, but it looks like that work will be undone.

I don’t feel so bad about them being forced to be smaller companies with smaller cars.

So if ... the people start to buy that kind of vehicle, then that will let us make that vehicle

The decision is being made as Dodge responds to consumer demand for performance-oriented internal combustion-powered musince cars, according to Mopar Insiders.

They’ve also never had reinforcements for a battery tray before.  I suspect if they’re rethinking that much, the roof is just extra weight…granted, probably only a hundred pounds or so, but should bring the weight down…

That actually seems like a win…

Now take the weight of the roof off the Iconic… I assume the Miata will stay a convertible, maybe fabric top only to keep weight down. It would be interesting. What I’ve read still suggests 50:50 weight distribution.

As a small FYI for you, and this thread, many of my American work colleagues have been talking (some seriously, some less-so) about moving to Canada.

HW3, but I’ll never pay for FSD. I’ve had two trials, and both times proved that it had no idea what’s going on around it. It doesn’t like any weather that’s not sunny. It gets confused by road signs a lot. It hates it when roads are salt stained.  I don’t even use autopilot, and rarely use adaptive cruise - it’ll…

Canadian here! My winter routine used to be start car, scrape windows, go. If there’s a lot of snow, it usually gets cleaned off before I start the car (because snow in the car sucks). It has been a LONG time since a car needed to “warm up” (also haven’t used a block heater in decades and had remote start for a…

Most cars get to temperature while driving just fine.
