I was thinking about the exact same thing!  He is such a garbage snake oil salesman.  No wonder he gets along with Trump

So when are we just installing a generator in the bed?

Yes, exactly this.  Couldn’t remember the name, so thank you.  Anyway, they are perfect because they are NOT designed to be “sexy” or “cool” or anything Elon would awkwardly say at a marketing event.  They were designed to be efficiently packaged means of transporting people and things of all shapes and sizes.

The fact that this van, which has a history in America of getting people out and about all over the place doesn’t have a hybrid option, or even a small range extender is a huge miss in my opinion.  There are TONS of places in this huge country that have near-zero options for charging, and for something that is…

Personally, I think BMW had the right idea with the i3 with the range extender. Someone needs to refresh that idea with a small motor capable of taking advantage of the new 400- and 800-volt packs.  Then, you could end up with the benefits of an EV, and you’d just be hauling around a small generator...not a full ICE…

Frankly, why a “cab” would look like anything other than a London cab, or one of those NV things is beyond me.  This vehicle should be 100% focused on cabin space, comfort, cargo, etc.  Not vanity.  But Elon doesn’t get that.

I’m not normally a litigious person, but I would absolutely sue the dealership for this.  If I’m test driving a car, I’m obviously assuming the dealer has complied with license plate rules.  You’re telling me I’m supposed to verify they’ve put the plate on the car and the registration is current and all that?  I’m…

I was going to say the same thing.  This must’ve been conceived in 2004 and it just took 20 years to finish and he didn’t want to get new lights off eBay.

Double floor mats tells me no go.

For $15k that engine bay better be fuckin mint.

So the design was made by telling Adobe’s AI to make a car that looks like a mashup of a Model 3 and a Cybertruck?  Cool.  Cool cool cool.

Why not under a flip-up license plate at the middle of the rear bumper like ye olden tymes?

Better not scratch it!  If ever there was a car to buy and park in a hermetically sealed garage....this is it.  lol

Cool. Another completely irrelevant (to me) car announcement. But I’ll still pay attention

Did he die from radiation poisoning?  <tin hat mode on>

This isn’t even a GOOD Jeep...why would anyone do this?

I’m on the fence with this one.  I see the rationale for keeping AM radio alive, but I don’t think it needs to be MANDATED in every new car.  Let people decide if they want that feature.  For me, I would opt out of the satellite radio receiver, as I’ve never subscribed, nor do I plan to.  It’s terrestrial FM and…

Disagree on the F10 M5.  It’s probably the best BMW design *since* the E39 M5.

Instead of just fixing the 318ti...while you’re in there, spend the money to drop in a refreshed 6-cylinder (M52 perhaps) and a lower mileage 5-speed and renew your love for the E36/5.

Can someone explain why enjoyment of cars/car culture is a presumption of GOP status?  I am a democrat - all my voting years - but I’ve also loved cars since I can remember lining up Matchbox and Hot Wheels on my parents’ TV console when I was maybe 3-4 years old.  I am into all kinds of vehicles too; I don’t hate EVs…
