I wonder when news and commentary outlets are going to stop highlighting only the absolute worst cases of humanity that a million video cameras can find in any given news cycle, and attempting to associate those behaviors to the millions upon millions of perfectly normal citizens within the mainstream on both sides,…

Should be fine as long as it doesn’t flip the script and decide that a bus is a washer and dryer.

Same form factor - fewer cells. The “standard range” pack incoming may or may not be more of the same.

The findings weren’t as dire as you’re implying. They said Tesla was losing out on some margin because some of the assemblies could have been designed to be manufactured more efficiently. But if anything, they complained that the car was overdesigned - not sloppily designed.

It has always been disclosed that the timelines are target dates based on the best case scenario rather than a firm deadline.

This a thousand times. I absolutely love my Focus ST, and was dead set on upgrading to an RS once I needed to replace it. Now I have to buy either a Golf R or an STi, both of which I consider to be inferior in either looks or performance (or both) to the Ford.

If you’re going to drop $30k+ on a third gen F-body, the only way to go is a 1989 Turbo TransAm. They took 1550 white on tan GTA’s that year, and stuffed the Grand National’s turbo six under the hood. $15k will get you a decent drivable example of the car, and $30k will get you a museum piece in similar condition to…

Particularly the criticism and Haterade towards both.

Whats hilarious is the people who laugh at Musk because Tesla hasn’t turned a profit, then scoff at him for being a billionaire on paper because of a bunch of stock he could never actually sell. Dude has put every penny he owns into the company to accomplish his goals, and people still call him a rich asshole who only…

A Ford Coyote V8 swap is also an acceptable answer to any question.

I have a 1990 Firebird I would very much like to do this to. I just moved to Reno.
