I will die on this hill.

Mark this date because I don’t say this often, but Orlove is 100% on the money here.

Wait for the GR Corolla. I know I am.

Its not the best looker imo but a new Golf R runs about $45k

No offense, but the buyer would almost certainly be best off buying out his lease and waiting until the inventory situation improves before replacing it. I’m also at the tail-end of a lease for a vehicle I don’t particularly love. I’m looking forward to driving something else, but I’m buying it out and waiting at…

Americans are a hell of a lot more likely to be on board with the whole Nazi camp than Germans are, my dude.

He’s committing fraud by manipulating the stock market. Dude’s a criminal.

Ah yes, those wholesome, God-fearing American companies would never— What’s that? Henry Ford published 4 volumes called “The International Jew: The World’s Problem”? And Hitler had Ford’s portrait in his office? And Ford Germany gave Hitler 35,000 marks as a little 50th birthday present in 1939? Oops. Oh there’s…

Hate to break it to ya about ol’ Henry...

Musk needs to be held accountable for manipulating the market, as well as his other many shitty, shitty actions.

3rd gear:
I will NEVER buy a product from Tesla. Not because of the product but because I don’t want one cent from my pocket going into their CEO’s pocket. Like what in the fuck is he doing? Doesn’t he not realize that probably 99% of the people buying his cars are super liberal, educated and so forth? Or is he trying…

“Elon Musk hates government regulation and yet his company keeps offering the best argument for it.”

The Dude’s 1973 Ford Gran Torino from The Big Lebowski.

The tragedy of commons is the achilles’ heel of the free market. It can only be solved through intervention.

A Telsa Model S weighs about as much as an F150 or an E-class, a Model 3 weighs about as much as your average CUV. So they’re really not heavier. Yes, they don’t use gas but using gasoline taxes an essential source of infrastructure funding is what lead the US to the mess it is in.

Convincing the public to adopt new tech is notoriously difficult, especially if it doesn’t offer anything particularly “new” they didn’t already have. Take just one recent example, DVDs for instance - they spent millions on PR campaigns AND gave’em away like crazy to get people to buy into the tech, and that’s just…

Not a big deal but gasoline taxes are mostly diverted to other non-road expenses already. And damage to roads is primarily a result of temperature cycling, poor initial foundations, and heavy trucks. Making a small change to passenger vehicle weight won’t make a difference.

I hit a small chunk of shredded tire in my Model S on the highway once, maybe 6"x6". No big deal, that’s what bumpers are for, worse case scenario I just replace the bumper, right? ...right?

I feel like my Bolt has just the right amount of hard controls. Do wish for a fire suppressor button though :)
