I generally agree, assuming you are actually moving back into the travel lane and out of the passing lane when you complete your pass.  The people that just hang out in the passing lane because they’ll eventually need to pass again, are part of the problem too.

National is worth it for the “Emerald Aisle” alone.

Bullshit.  Tons of people buying vehicles in the $30-40k range don’t make near enough to get a full $7.5k tax credit.

Assuming you pay enough taxes to get the full thing is a big assumption.

The ‘98 McLaren wasn’t “better aerodynamically” because it was longer. It was that Newey realize that if you make a car narrower (as was required by the regs that year) you have to make the wheelbase longer to maintain cornering stability (chassis/suspension wise, not aerodynamically). He even states as much in a…

But then you have to own a Tesla. Plus, the cheapest Model Y is $40k; a far cry from a $32k RAV4.

Dieses eine Mal traf ich auf einer Reise nach Amerika auf eine totale Karen.

The 18" wheels made outside visibility poor and car placement more difficult.

I mean, back to Tesla again, the Model 3 and Y are still selling well, despite that market space getting pretty crowded. And it’s not like the Lightning has been eating Rivian’s lunch. Sure, Rivian is going to be facing more competition, but I’m not that worried about it.

I’m meant lagging as in it’s worse than other automanufactuers. The Cybertruck being the perfect example: it’s taking so long to get to market because it’s a dumb design primarily being pushed through by the previously mentioned bonehead. And also, the dumb idea that Tesla wouldn’t follow typical model cycles; ie,…

Very few of us are driving over 150 miles on a daily basis which is the comfortable real world range for even the lowest range popular BEVs on the market.

SG&A along with R&D are readily available public numbers. That accounts for roughly $900M of their $1.4B total losses last quarter.

The more vehicles they sell, the more losses the company has.

It’s been going down pretty quickly.  -$412M this quarter, down from -$704M a year before that.  I’m not near as doom and gloom about them as some people are here.  Tesla was in an extremely similar position for nearly a decade and didn’t get out of it till their Model 3 was on the market for almost an entire year,…

Again, I’m guessing that $40k number isn’t real. It was something like, “We need to save $XXX per year” and then someone just divided that by the sales volume of the time.  I’m not saying it’s easy, but I don’t think they plan to reduce their actual unit build cost by $40k.

I’m wagering that a large part of it is simply scalability. I doubt they actually lose $33k every time they sell a truck. The $33k number likely just comes from their revenue minus expenditures divided by number of sales. Meaning, if they sold one additional truck, their expenditure would increase by $80k (or whatever…

No one is saying people shouldn’t be able to get art degrees. We are simply saying that they shouldn’t expect others to pay for it.

I know that.  You’d know I know that if you actually cared to digest what I read.  What I’m questioning is when does CR use a sample size of 50, and at what population have they done it?

Is there a special sticker/placard for vets that I don’t know about?

Concerns about parts availability? Regular cab trucks have been dying for 20+ years over here.
