Maybe WhistlinDiesel will bid.

I can’t even FATHOM buying insurance on a Tesla from Tesla.  That’s just madness.  It’s not even “arm’s length” at that point.  Nope.  Not me.

It’s polarizing for sure - I predict it will actually help values stabilize long term since some folks like weird cars.

How many of these sales were to rental car companies?

And this also doesn’t take into account that the Escape is nowhere near as enjoyable to drive as the Mach-E, which is a very slick place to be.

Very fair point.  I wasn’t factoring that into my response.  I was just focused on the economics, and you’re right, if these cars are cheaper because of slave labor (or if the Chinese government can subsidize these cars because they are using slave labor for other things like farm production), then I can get on board…

Sweet.  So basically almost as much as I paid for my entire 1998 M3.

Yep. The practicality/value of a Tesla only goes so far...now that it’s become a dogwhistle, I’d imagine many early adopters/greenies that have been driving them will be looking to make a switch.

I agree with all the comments saying that we have a gun problem...but as a former firefighter, my only thought here was “why didn’t the BC just jump on the radio and call for assistance?”  Instead, they chose the weird path of walking onto rural private property and hoping that something didn’t go sideways in their…

Now I want them for my Volt.

Why not let Chinese companies setup shop here and let American workers (like yourself) turn the wrenches? When that suggestion comes up, people usually start talking about job-stealing and information hackery and all that jazz. Where does it end? Can you imagine how much surplus resources all countries would have if…

Is this how non-American countries responded when companies like Ford and GM were building world-beating cars in the earlier part of the 20th century?  I’m honestly curious. This all seems to me very counterproductive. If a better product is available somewhere else, let them sell it. And to those that say that China…

But keeping the lifters in their fully pressurized position and not asking them to cycle thousands of times over their lifespan is definitely good insurance in my opinion.  And plugging in a Range device is 1000x easier than doing the full DoD delete.  At that point, you might as well do a full top end refresh with…

The Model Y never looked right, and this is not an improvement.  They really need to go further than a LCI refresh and give us all some new looks.  I get that this might hurt profits by requiring some revisions to their stampings, but come on...it’s time.

This message is for Nemo: You can get a bluetooth dongle to plug into your OBD-II port and turn off DOD/AFM on your Escalade. I have the Range AFM Disabler in my 2012 Suburban and have been using it flawlessly for over 5 years.

If it’s a pig nose, it’s not a 91.  nevermind...it said *bought* in 91

There *should* be kill switches in cars that law enforcement can activate instead of engaging in chases.  And I know people will bark about privacy and whatnot...to that I say FIGURE IT OUT and let’s end high speed chases and general car theft.

Drifting is not actually that cool or interesting.  It gets old after like 2 minutes.

But would you actually buy one?  I mean, the Gladiator is such a strange thing.  I can’t imagine the rationale for choosing it over a “normal” 4-door pickup (and I’ve driven one for an extended rental and wasn’t impressed...Tacoma and Ranger were both better in all ways).

This is all the CyberTruck should’ve ever been.
