Yeah I’ve been driving Evos and Subarus since my 20s and I’ve never once thought of them as being more economical than say a V6 Accord.

It actually is. For an audience not aware of our dear author’s previous comments on big SUVs, Been there’s comments are plain SUV bashing.

Easy! Drive in reverse.

Irony. Everything this guy is saying is just stuff that the author has said before about big trucks and SUVs.

And of course I forgot to paste the link

Lucky for me Autocar already made a list of the interesting cars from my birth year so I don’t have to.

A huge ditto on this. Any regular car feels incredibly numb after coming out from a go-kart that your sense of speed is really thrown out of whack.

The Brits have been using names like “Meteor” since WW2. Remember the Rolls-Royce tank engine?

Like I said that’s been incorrect for a while now. As your own link says:

Yeah the mask phobia is really weird. Studies have shown that it’s ok to gather even with minimal distancing so long as people are masked up and the place is outdoors or well ventilated.

I don’t think that’s been true for a while. Strictly comparing the cost to build vs the price the cars sell for Teslas have been profitable for quite a while, and not to forget that each car they sell also nets them a significant amount of carbon credits that they sell to other manufacturers.

The gear shift not being on the fucking touchscreen is a huge advantage over Tesla

Honestly? A regular bloke in the same circumstances probably wouldn’t even make the news. It was a single car accident and no one was hurt besides the driver himself. Not exactly newsworthy.

And mass production is exactly what a small botique operation doesn’t have. They probably don’t want to invest in new factories either only to find later that demand didn’t quite scale up as much as commenters on Jalopnik had predicted.

All I’m saying is the unlimited price tag on the car also affords with it higher quality materials that balance out the complexity in its engineering.

Someone actually used a Veyron as a daily.

So how come this was so bad while we’ve never really heard of the W16 in the Veyron/Chiron being prone to breakdown?

Yeah if it was D.C. Shoes marketing money that funded those purchases then he likely co-owns the cars along with his shareholders, who may be less interested than he is about hanging onto them.

Cost of development probably figures into that number, as they build (or expect to) very low numbers of these.
