Unfortunately, that isn’t a new issue for expensive Toyotas. I remember sitting in a previous generation top trim level Sequoia at a car show years ago, and thinking to myself: “$80k for this interior? It’s looks and feels exactly like that $20k Corolla over there.” And it’s not like Toyota doesn’t know how to make a…

The interior materials are awful is for a vehicle at this price point. 

Well, in some cases it’s also just the dealers being greedy. Just look at what is still happening with the C8 Z06; despite GMs “best effort” to stop dealers from adding ADMs.

Rated for 291 crank power. 

Just like the safety systems (pedestrian detection, automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, etc.) some work better than others. There are a few brands whose systems are much too intrusive in my opinion. I tend not to trust the systems in rental cars because many times previous renters have messed with the software se…

It’s certainly impressive; that being said I strongly suspect that Porsche is underrating their turbocharged engines.

Any predictive model always comes down to the assumptions… when the assumption is: “if I tell Elon the Porsche wins, I will get fired.” then you end up with results like this.

I’m the “car guy” in my group of friends; and like most folks around here, someone who likes driving. On a longer trip, radar cruise control is great to have; but I don’t need any more autonomy than that. If I want the “passenger experience” then I will fly. 

Well that right there is the problem then isn’t it? The system is not very consistent in how it performs; and until it can perform safely consistently it has no business being in the hands of the general public.

The guy who was there to show him the car and explain how it works. Call him whatever you want. 

Friend test drove a Tesla with FSD a few weeks ago. The system needed multiple interventions during the 15-minute test drive. At one point the Tesla salesman even suggested “turn it off and just enjoy the feeling of driving”.

Yes, and depending on how you classify the “business use” of the vehicle you can write off expenses for:

The best part is that people will spend insane amounts of money on a car like this…. and then not even drive it.

I all likelihood he probably gets to write it off as a business expense. 

The EPA isn’t stopping Lamborghini from selling a 500 hp car for $150k.

Or…. reality needs to set in and the PE ratio needs to return to “normal”.

I like the idea, but your pricing is way too optimistic.

Yeah, you said it. Yikes! 

Who handed RR the ugly stick?

Shhhhh! Don’t let Elon see this! Do you want half of SpaceX fired overnight?
