That’s why in Matrix, before the deal with Intel fell through, Machines were supposed to use us as CPUs (or cores thereof).

Well it’s a marvelous shitbox. You’re addressing a man who with full premeditation bought and drives a Lada Niva despite not being cut off from supply of western offroaders and rest of civilization every time it snows.

Also the big difference for EVs is length of the track, since the hard part is maintaining performance as the batteries heat up.

Just because Defenders are used as rich person toy in US, doesn’t say anything about the car. See also - Delica 4x4.

Wait a minute, did I already watch that episode...?

Followed by inserting themselves in the Koenigsegg vs Bugatti spat, since Tesla S holds the record for production car speed. 

1. It was not a production car (these are currently in 400mph+ ranges).

This is fascinating, a real life Mac from IASIP.

Nuh-uh, you’re anti-gun!
Also your simile is perfect, but not in the way you think.

Where did you come up with nationalizing?

Food for thought as this applies to wardrobe, smartphone, fish for aquarium and dining experiences of people this is marketed to (aka definitely not to self described Tahoe guys):

Compensation is such a factor in productivity, that for almost a century industrialists didn’t consider other factors worthy of mentioning.

Now we know that job security is even more important (hello there “right to “work” (or be sacked at any point for anything) and flexible hours), and I daresay self-fulfillment is…

While I agree with most of what you wrote, there is the aspect of consequences and desired outcome.
Tesla misrepresents the autopilot. It doesn’t mean the morons like this one are not at fault (similar to “gun going off by accident”. There’s no accidents when it comes to guns, only negligence).
But if the only…

Well Mr Fancypants: if they’re so smart, how come they don’t use below-costs insurance rates to bail out their companies as they’re running out of cash like a ponzi-scheme?

Collector Glasshead-grade Crack Pipe .

Voted NP, for anything else I’d need to turn in the Jalop card and gun. It’s beyond lovely, but at the same time rough enough you want to drive it. 

Aww come on, how did Kristen not get invited to this! She;d have just the thing:

Yup - that’s what I was driving at. Still silly amount of money for an 80's VW ... but at least it’s not a Jetta.
There’s a better way to make this mistake is what I’m sayin’ ;-)

Um... this might be Crack vs Meth kind of argument, but there are VW Rabbit GTIs around 8k on Bring a Trailer...

“As a rule, Mercedes-Benz does not track drivers.”

As an exception however... 
And Germans do love their exceptions...

Author in MC&L is just straight up lying. He even admits the other hot versions of Mustang can be bought here, albeit from specialty importers.
Ford just doesn’t want to do the work for a car that will not sell in high numbers. Like with Focus in US.
