bruh, did you log into two separate accounts to make this comment twice?

The #1 thing the Pixel fold needs is a price drop. Google has proven that they can put together reasonably good hardware and great software into a compelling package at a lower price point than their competitors, but then they gave up on that and launched an $1800 phone

I agree. I don’t own another camera, so this is my only way to preserve family vacations, hikes, important moments, etc.

Good camera is one of the top things I look for

I know its cool on Jalopnik to hate on crew cab trucks, but we sure enjoy ours. Its real nice to have a vehicle that can haul my family while also hauling furniture from marketplace, an old fridge to my parents, 2 dirt bikes on a weekend, all of my wife’s trade show booth & inventory, and tow our small camper trailer

Thats fair, though spending an extra $4k on your upgrades just so you can pay 8% for it is rough...

Also I know a lot of dealers that will install aftermarket stuff and bake it into the loan cost.

Idk, doesn’t really seem like a good deal. $10k for shocks, tires, UCAs, sliders and a roof rack? Unless these are serious performance shocks, you can save a few grand going aftermarket.

Every time I see someone with that flashing 3rd brake light, I know they’re an absolute sucker

We just got a model 3, and I love the column shifter. easy to reach and out of the way.

Too bad they’re being stupid and putting it on the screen next 

For used cars, it probably depends.

For new cars, IMO it is absolutely worth a $200 plane ticket to save a few grand on the right car

Not Japanese, but this is the #1 performance car concept I’m most excited for

I’ve owned 5 Google phones, but I can’t help but be underwhelmed this year. Nothing really exciting, and a higher price point to boot!

I was going to say the same thing. You can buy it in Europe too:

maybe, but I own an EV and sometimes those charging stations start to feel reeeeeaaal lonely late at night, and the car won’t let you drive away in an emergency if you’re still plugged in.

Yep. There are millions of people flat towing behind RVs in this country!

Exactly. If I’m taking a trip along the interstate in my Tesla, its a fantastic experience. Going up into the Idaho panhandle on back roads? I’m taking my F-150. We need a LOT of infrastructure updates to make this work, but blanket statements don’t help on a nuanced issue. 

Differing opinions and discussion is great and welcome. You comment like boomer on FB    ;)

Go back to your room, the adults are having a real conversation. 

Totally. I think government efforts would be much better spent eliminating the downsides to EVs. Incentivizing DC fast charging locations, charging for multi-family housing, and grid improvements would go a lot further. 

Its a complex question. There are a lot of categories where EVs are clearly better, and with the right use case, they are fantastic. There are also a few major categories where they just can’t compete yet. Charge time, towing range, and charging for those without home chargers are definitely big ones

And their growth would show that most people don’t care...?
