Nothing whatsoever to gain from defying the executive order, and plenty to lose. It’s a no-brainer.

Because the cars are only kept for a few years and they don’t really bother with maintenance, the majority of rental fleet expenses are from repairing damage. If the anecdotes are to be believed, a Tesla fender bender is terribly expensive and takes months to repair. Maybe part shortages kept EV fleet cars out of the…

I agree with all of this, plus it’s stressful to people that have never driven an EV to be wondering if they are going to need to spend an hour or whatever recharging the vehicle somewhere they’ve never been with something they’ve never used when they just want to make their flight.

What do you mean by outa your way? There is a gas station on the way to anything and everything, its a 10 minute stop.

The sensors in the door handles cost more money. I know that isn’t technically part of the push button start, but I never saw the point of it if I have to take my fob out of my pocket to unlock the doors anyway.

Google says TX requires it, but I don’t know how well-enforced the law is. There’s a pic of the undercarriage in the craigslist ad, and looking at that I really don’t think this thing has been under water.

I read something just two days ago that said that nobody really believes this is where the brass monkey phrase came from. It said an awful lot of etymology attributed to navy stuff isn’t backed up by evidence. It’s weird that this blog post dropped this week too.

I assume I’ll be a little disappointed that the R3X will turn out to be bigger than I really want but then still buy one. If Rivian has a better reliability reputation by the time it comes out. Apparently, they are kind of heaps of shit?

F Type tho.

Here’s another oversimplification. A Hershey bar cost 25 cents when I was a kid. Now it’s 2 dollars. Is it because there is a chocolate shortage? No. Inflation operates outside of supply and demand. That’s why there’s a different word for it. Gouging is not the same thing as inflation. Supply/Demand is not the same…

Gouging is not the same thing as inflation. 

Inflation operates outside of supply and demand of products. That’s why it’s called inflation instead of supply and demand. Educate yourself, moron. When money is given away without price controls, suppliers simply raise their prices, whether there are shortages or not. 

Of course it was. Giving away money without price controls will always result in inflation, and always has.

Are you sure you know what inflation is? it’s not the same as shortages.

Do headliners still fall down from smoking cigarettes in the car?

Either way, ND because I don’t want to do business with this asscrack.

Well about half of the US used to think EVs were hippie bullshit but suddenly thinks buying a Tesla is the best way to show loyalty to our Dear Leader. Musk should call the price increase The Orange-Noser Tax.

eh, the last bout of inflation was caused by all of the money that was given away during the covid pandemic.

100% with you on this. I would bet the Integra S will be offered with an automatic in a couple of years. But I’m leaving the west coast for a road salt ice and snow kind of area and that makes me want both a different type of vehicle and one that costs less.
