as mentioned in an above comment, it’s all relative to what your interests/hobbies are. Plenty of non car enthusiasts likely think there’s no reason for someone to have any car other than a base toyota camry because anything else for getting from point A to point B is excessive and pointless. Particularly when you’re…

The other V35 variations apparently have crankshafts that aren’t able to rotate. The whole engine has to spin.

Capitalism simps keep squawking that if a CEO was not payed that much companies would go under. I am sure that Stellantis would be doing as well or better if you paid a different CEO $1-5 million/year. A friend recently retired from corporate finance in Chicago and after a working life in corporate finance he said he…

Sounds like they gave him a glass of Kool-Aid too....

Fuck this clown. He is a puss-filled sore on America’s ass. If he had a heart attack today that would do us all a massive favor.

There will be some numptys commenting who will act like prohibiting the importation of Chinese EVs is being done for data protection or whatever (like it even matters any more), but it is 100% being done purely because the big 3 are scared absolutely to death. It’s the same exact rhetoric that was used back in the…

Everyone should read the TIME interview - he is unhinged - and dangerously self-(and money)absorbed.

Exactly. Maybe one day, after a long time and unimaginable amounts of time and money are wasted, they may be able to build a machine that can replace some people and even do the work faster, but they will never be able to beat the purpose-built machines we have today.

Dang no love for the Civic Si.  You can get them new for just over $30k.

Lexus IS350. V6, 4 doors, not boring, and will run forever.

But also, you CAN drive them that long. Some of us remember the days when 100,000 miles on a car (particularly domestic brands) meant the end of its useful service life. These days, even at 200k, a car can still be in good shape, running great, and not rusted into oblivion. 

I’m curious as well as to the maintenance costs. I’d imagine frequent tire replacement is one, but perhaps it’s just the service network.

You know, with Elon, the more I learn about the guy, the more I don’t like him. (paraphrasing Norm MacDonald)

Correct. This is a good example of “I know what I got”. Fine, then keep it.

Dear Elmo,

If I lay off everyone, I won’t have to pay any salaries at all.

Ha! Let’s kneecap the one thing (Superchargers) that set Tesla apart from anyone else at this point. 

Fuck self-driving tech that doesn’t work. Pay your fucking drivers, you greedy fucks.

Inquiring minds want to know...

So how long before the first one gets hacked and turned into a weapon of mass road-going destruction?
