I wouldn’t have given even 5 minutes before calling the cops...

And, no, I wouldn’t have let them get away for free.  If they had knocked on my door and asked for help, it would have been free.  But act like an ass?  Nope... not free anymore...

On the other hand, I don’t even see a story about Tesla’s latest massive loss...

I don’t disagree with most of what you’ve said, but the concept that somehow they’re prone to lying about fuel economy when most people that will post their fuel economy in general are doing so to gripe, unless they’re the tree-hugger type, looking to brag, but the intersection of that set with f-150 buyers is…

You seriously think that Honda/Toyota/insert other manufacturer name here don’t have the exact same thing?  Give me a break.

The most recent Toyota Camry I drove felt like a bad copy of a 2012 Fusion

The APEAL ratings are based on owner surveys evaluating vehicle attributes. It’s supposed to semi filter out blind brand equity, though it certainly is impacted by it, since only people that buy that brand’s vehicles rate that brand.

But realistically, when you look at that criteria, it is perfectly reasonable to…

I can’t wait for the tweetstorm after Mueller stated that the only reason he didn’t move to indict Trump was because the AG told him he couldn’t.

If you knew how consumer feedback worked, you’d know you’re pretty much always biased towards people who are upset with the product, NOT people who are going to praise it or lie about it to make themselves feel good.

But it isn’t just driving “too fast”. It’s also dumb behavior like flooring it from every stoplight (hell, most people seem to accelerate like a bat out of hell nowadays) only to find yourself stopped at the next light. Accelerate at a reasonable rate and you hit the green on the next light and don’t waste gas…

Well, if you look at owner reports on the 3.5, there are a lot of them that are meeting and exceeding EPA numbers, so I’d wager a lot of this is purely the idiotic way most people seem to drive nowadays.

1) Snark is not restricted to sarcastic comments where you don’t mean what you say

2) The logical conclusion was that “cool” would be the sarcastic bit, not that you actually understood panels are relatively unaffected by hail.

3) Unless you have evidence otherwise, it would be safe to assume the fragile silicon cells…

Hail will total the car?

NOT BLOODY LIKELY.

The solar panels on my roof are rated to withstand impact of 1 1/2" diameter hailstones impacting it at terminal velocity without suffering any damage at all.

Show me the car that doesn’t get blasted to hell by hail that large. Hell, my parents had a 2 year old camry get hit by…

So a big touchscreen, and almost all the physical buttons are in a single strip down the right side of the console?  Looks like an ergonomic nightmare to me...

My thoughts exactly. I’m in favor of giving a path to citizenship to DACA recipients, but I can’t blame Wells Fargo at all in this case.  Trump simply puts too much risk into the equation.

I’m sure they get it. The question would be how much money can reasonably be made in that time frame?

The car could be in operation more often, but that means the car also wears out faster. Musk’s claims clearly imply that your new revenue would come at virtually no cost. That’s insane. If you drive a car 5 times as…

No one has said that this wouldn’t be available in AWD....

In reality, I’d bet it will be available in AWD - the only Ford vehicles that currently don’t have an AWD or 4WD option are the Fiesta, Mustang, Transit Connect, and Transit - and the Transit is getting AWD for 2020.

If they’re targeting the Outback, you can be…

It had a list price of $39,000 back when getting a car with more range meant buying a $90,000 Tesla.

And it rarely sold at list price. Hell, in 2015 they were selling for under $20k after rebates and tax credits in many states. For awhile in Georgia, you could get one off the lot for $13k.

And all that was STILL at a…

Walmarts around me (in Ohio, not CA) are already getting DC fast charging stations.

Yeah, but inflation means our costs are effectively even higher - and on top of that, we get to pay for a separate soccer stadium.  You at least got a two-fer there.

6'7", 350 lb and you recommend a Vibe?

You have no clue - there is NO way that car fits him.
