People love to point to Amazon’s occasional losses.

Of course, what they always ignore is that Amazon has shown those losses when engaging in a massive expansion the scale of which Tesla has never seen.

In 1999, Amazon had about 2,000 employees. In 2009, they had 24,300 employees. They’ve been adding over 50,000 a year…

Nothing I said was incorrect

You CLEARLY haven’t driven one of those POS 4 cylinder Camrys.

Look up the complaints at NHTSA on the current generation of Camry. They’re dead on with the crap I got out of the rental one I had - acceleration might be fine one minute, then you have complete lack of power another. Getting on a highway with the…

I do love how the Elon fan club wants to ignore Tesla’s long history in excuse for their performance...

Sadly the one who has made the most about it has been Trump, in a desperation move to make it look like he’s doing something.

HAH!

Shows how little you know.  This company didn’t make $6000 in profit.  They made $6000 in revenue. :) They actually lost $36.9 million in the quarter.

Drive a new Camry and a new Fusion and come back and tell us what you think. The Fusion isn’t perfect, but its a damned good car. A hair dated now, but reliable, comfortable, fuel efficient, and cheap. Meanwhile the new Camry by comparison has lousy handling, horrendous problems with lack of power, etc.

If you were to…

Time to reconsider your position.

Say Chevy was bought by BYD (Chinese brand). And they built every vehicle in the US and had 3 times as many people working in product development and engineering here as any traditionally “foreign” maker (Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc). How would that not be a patriotic purchase? Because…

Not one bit of patriotism?

Seriously?

Find me a British make that doesn’t come with a premium price. The reason other cars do well is because they’re cheap (including the A class). Affordable British brands went the way of the dodo decades ago. Ford was adopted as a “british” car company a long time ago by their…

You won’t need an engine hoist for the new escape hybrid’s batteries.

Old escape hybrid battery is below - the upcoming generation is on top.

I have a good half dozen coworkers / family members who have had Prius batteries fail. Probably a near 50% failure rate, nominally around 10 years old, for those Prius owners I know.

Granted, that’s just anecdotal, but that is still uncomfortably high.

The good thing, though, is that Prius battery replacements aren’t…

Here’s a video of an deployment and actual rescue - guy ran out of fuel when a transfer system for an aux tank failed - and he had to ditch in the pacific. The Coast Guard got the entire thing on tape, from parachute deployment to cruise ship rescue...

No kidding.

I flew Chicago - Quebec not that long ago - and if you’re on the north side of the aircraft on that route, you realize pretty quickly its forests as far as the eye can see, with roads very few and very far between...

What’s that supposed to mean?

I’ve been to Quebec, and they’re some of the nicest people you could meet..

Oh, “so everyone you know” vs. stats from thousands of owners? Ok, then.

Try looking at the problem rates in Honda/Toyota infotainment systems.  Sync 3 looks like genius by comparison.

I’d still prefer chrome to the all-black so many use now that are only a marginal improvement over bare steel rims.

And its certainly better than the hideous aero wheels Tesla has.

1) First, they aren’t encouraging more people to come over. And second, we don’t need more beds to solve the problem. We had fewer beds under Obama. Instead of keeping people caged for months, we had programs to release many while awaiting their court date. And those programs worked. Nearly every last one showed up…

I agree we shouldn’t overemphasize quarterly results, and that one time bumps in either direction shouldn’t necessarily cause panic, but there is a good reason why maintaining or increasing profits matters: Companies operate on borrowed money. In their last annual report, Mazda owed 497.9 billion yen in debt. They…

If you look at CR’s reliability data, you’d see the 3, 6, MX-5, and CX-5 all come out looking pretty darned good. Only the CX-9 looks like a miss - though it showed marked improvement beginning in ‘14.

1) Arguing for humane treatment of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers is NOT the same as “loving illegal immigration.” In addition, cuts in illegal immigration have not been shown to improve wages in the US.

2) Donald Trump isn’t racist because “he wants jobs in America” (despite constantly outsourcing them himself)…
