That’s been the right-wing plan all along, at least since Reagan. And it’s been working tremendously well.

I love all these companies complaining they ‘can’t find people’ when they’re still trying to pay the same wages they were paying 30 years ago.

That’s not far fetched, restrictive regulations help giant mega corporations and hurt small ones. That’s been known for a long time and why giant megacorps support regulation, so they don’t lose market share from a new competitor.

Just take away the right to drive for 3-4 years. That would be a world ender for most of them.

So basically Cadillac can trade in their showroom models?

If you buying an M3 to take to the drag strip youre doing it wrong.

There’s plenty of cobalt left, the real issue that production has become concentrated in the DRC. With the DRC being an ongoing catastrophe, this is causing worries in the supply chain with everything from uncertainties of continued production because of the constant conflict to the appalling working conditions in…

It’s kind of amusing to see the Model 3 hype die down. A few people at work pre-ordered them, and at the time I told them it’ll be $50k+ to get range, AWD, and even basic options. They didn’t believe me and kept quoting that $35k price. And here we are... and none of them have said a word about the car since full…

That 4cyl engine makes more torque than many older V8s as well. For example the 5.3l you’ll find in the older model Silverados many people will trade in for these trucks made 325lb-ft.

As if most truck owners actually use it as a truck.

Are ride-sharing companies all going to screw themselves out of business and we’ll all go back to cabs

It used to be $0.20 more per gallon. When Katrina hit and we ran out of gas, it went to $0.30 more per gallon. After gas started flowing it stayed at $0.30 more and people kept paying, so they raised it to $0.40 more after a year or two. People kept paying that, so now it’s $0.50 more and has been for the last couple…

Since it’s a rate and not an absolute count, the math issue with Elon’s comment isn’t that Teslas haven’t racked up the miles, is that the situations involved with “all cars” and “Teslas while using autopilot” are very different.

Tesla should not have been allowed to name their system “Auto Pilot”. At this point in automated driving, no commercial product should be allowed to be named such that it may be construed that no input is required from the driver.

FUCK! I feel so duped! I can’t believe I ended up with this crappy sub-par and cheap Golf R. If only I had purchased a kwality american car instead! Oh, wait, the only american equivalent is a Focus RS? OK! I’ll buy that!

EPA v. CARB:

california should win if republicans bullshit states rights chants mean anything. they wanna bitch and moan that states should get the right to set their own rules on obamacare and such should extend to legal pot and emissions rules.

I’d think anyone who can afford the payments on a $60k truck/SUV should be able to afford a 20-30% increase in gas prices. In reality, anyone who this will affect likely couldn’t really afford their new gas guzzler in the first place, so I don’t feel sorry for them.

Wait, you’re saying this wasn’t the work of Catalan separatists?
