It’s almost like Porsche ignored what made the Macan the big volume seller that it was in the first place.  

No marketing department can counteract the effects of a CEO, who has made himself the public face of the company, posting a continuous stream of inflammatory nonsense and garbage on social media. But it’s good to see that the self awareness is essentially zero, and that the narrative is that “marketing wasn’t doing…

Record profits, but we promised shareholders we’d cut some costs so… sorry Bob, you’re out a a job.

Yep. Given how most EVs are chewing through tires, that’s probably a pretty decent long term play.

Personally I’m a bit indifferent about the Macan. Sure, it drives really well, but I’m just not interested in a Porsche SUV (yes, I understand they are wildly popular). I don’t love what they’ve done with the split headlight design for this new generation, it feels a bit derivative of what everyone else is doing; just…

Correct. They don’t even have regulatory approval for autonomous driving, and it’s not like our government is known to move quickly on matters like new policy. Even if they unveil a fully functioning robo-taxi on August 8th, when will it actually be allowed to function on the nations roadways? A cheap EV would fill a…

Well, seeing as how the new LC and GX are only $1,005 apart, people would be stupid not to compare them to each other.

He did say “briefly” didn’t he? It could briefly serve as a boat.

They actually make those? I mean, I guess it shouldn’t surprise me, and yet it does. 

Earlier in January Elon threatened to “pursue AI” on his own if Tesla shareholders didn’t give him more control of the company. You know, the kind of technology that is central to FSD actually working at some point. Does that sound like a CEO who is acting in the interest of shareholders? Nobody sued him for that…

Who needs an eclipse when you have a prescription for ketamine?

Hey, to be fair he did say “bullet proof” not “water proof”.

The car looks like a C63 AMG, but it’s a bit hard to tell from the damage if it’s the 63 or a “lesser” AMG-lite trim. Either way, plenty powerful of a car for a person who has proven themselves to be irresponsible behind the wheel.

When has Musk ever let something like CA state law get in his way? They just pay the fine and call it “cost of doing business”. 

You’re right, it probably doesn’t stroke their ego enough to just have a “normal” $100k truck. They need it to be the one that everyone looks at and talks about. 

They really shouldn’t reinstate that compensation package; and I suspect that if they do some shareholders will sue again. Especially in light of what has happened so far this year with the stock and with the company. It’s clear that Elon is not actually “managing” anything at Tesla, and spends most of his time…

This is probably the truck that every Cybertruck buyer should have bought instead. It is very expensive, but the specs on paper are quite impressive. If the performance pans out in the real world with owners, then I think GM has a winner on their hands with this platform.

I think you hit the nail on the head. My thinking is that the previous Land Cruiser was not a big seller for Toyota at all, so they may not be expecting a sales marvel this time around either; and since there is so much shared between all of these vehicles, that doesn’t present a real issue for them if one of them…

But the GX isn’t $10,000 more…

Even the LC 1958 trim is only about $3k less than the base GX. So it still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
