I read it and immediately thought “zero percent chance it will be sold in America”

It’s a trope not a parable :p

to be fair I didn’t hit crack pipe until i did the mental math on 1999 Subaru forester with 250K miles for $3500, which is probably still CP even if it was normal (its not normal)

Cadillac could have absolutely owned the luxury SUV market after the successful Escalade launch and somehow ceded that to the germans too...

It’s no different than people acting like banning auto racing will have a noticeable impact on global carbon footprint. It’s a peanut floating in the ocean

not gonna lie, I forgot that they weren’t already for sale in Europe. Does that include Scandinavia?

I agree with all these statements on why its not feasible, but dang it would be amazing. If somehow the contraption was removable or modular and the new up to date one could be purchased and swapped out as design and regulations change

do people on this website compromise on color? not that often. Do regular non car people compromise on color? Every single day. Its even worse than that. My mom wanted to buy a Red Audi A4 and she went to the dealer and the sales guy literally said that the A4 doesn’t come in red so she bought a grey one. She was…

I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as everyone says. If the officials rule he lost possession of the ball and then gained possession again, it’s not a double dribble. You could argue that he didn’t, sure. You could also argue he lost the handle because he got bumped. But in fast motion at the end of the game officials…

I still wonder how much of this is a self fulfilling prophecy of dealers only ordering and stocking grey black and white because they don’t want to be stuck with an oddball car, and everyone goes into the dealers and being told, sorry we only have grey on the lot let’s make a deal

cutting staff doesn’t usually mean hiring more staff. plus, the advisor that helped me with my issue was great. he told me that he used to be able to answer his phone but now he lets every call go to voicemail and gets back to them in several days because he has no chance of keeping up any other way. thats a problem.

I’ll address this argument anytime I see it: its false

Tesla desperately need to add more customer service reps, not cut. I hope customer service doesn’t get worse or I will be seriously concerned if I have any major issues with my car.

I took delivery of a model 3 in kentucky in October. Lots of them in Louisville, but can’t say much for the rest of the state. Also I had to drive to Indianapolis to pick it up because KY is dumb.

I couldn’t drive with the baby seat behind me because i’d be too far forward and my wife is 5'1". At least with my current car.

the safest position is actually in the center seat in the back. but no normal human does that because installing and uninstalling the seat is way more difficult and getting a 30 pound child out from the center of a sedan is a recipe for back problems. beyond that, it makes no difference whether you put it on one side…

i love the idea, but no manufacturer wants to probably because those child seat guidelines change so fast and any seat would be at least 3 years old by the time it hit the market. or its just straight up liability concern. No automotive crash test tests for infants or toddlers.

maybe i’m misunderstanding, but shouldn’t it be the opposite? Like the large opening with the seat down should be behind the driver, so that the car seat can be behind the passenger, and unaffected by the other down seat. I drive like this 90% of the time as a cellist with a baby.

Most of this stuff mentioned is waaay to obvious to be a miniscule feature.

this has all been decided the moment Demoltion Man came out in 1993:
