“After everything I’ve been put through, I am still a huge believer in Tesla, Elon Musk and electric cars,” he said.

Pay the money, get in the tank and drive it through the dealership.

Still a shame they killed it off. I’ve been considering trading my Cruze for one. I was actually looking for one befor eI bought my Cruze but couldn’t find what I wanted

I still do not understand how the Volt did not become a more popular solution. Maybe the method should have been applied to an SUV. Most daily range , all electric. add fuel to go on a long trip in the same vehicle.

Realtors in 2004: High prices are here to stay.

National is the best.  No hassles, good cars, good service.

Um, the US is a third world country.

The overall tone of the ad, the wording makes me hesitate. On the face of it, seems like it should be a NP, but the seller comes across as a dickhead and $6200 is too much to put up with the hassle! So No Dice because I wouldn’t want to deal with this guy and his boy-racer modifications.

That’s nuts, even for Lexus. The one near me looks like a high end airport lounge. No massages, but there are other rather over the top amenities. There’s a childcare center and beauty salon in the one in my town.

Yes, but boomer-minded folks will defend the dealer model forever. 

Because the establishment hates change.

Wait a minute: that can’t be right. An EV that does not weigh three tons, that does not have 600hp, that does not reach 60mph in 3.6 seconds, and is not a dick-length comparison fetish object. Say whut?

You are mischaracterizing the facts.

You do not know how to interpret literally any of the articles you cited, and posting tweets from Eric Feigl-Ding and a guy who litigates “civil rights involving mandated medicine” is immediately disqualifying.
