Clearly this is something beyond simple theft. There is almost certainly a relationship between the owner and the forklift driver. Nobody is going to go to all that trouble to plan out a theft like this and then burn it when you could far more easily just steal another early 2000s Honda Civic, it’s not like they’re…

Telsa came around precisely because of that unfilled demand. Because automakers ignored consumer trends, a new company formed, entered the market, and became the most valuable* domestic car brand in just 15 years. This in an industry that is normally considered quite hard to enter.

I’d believe that except for the fact that consumers don’t seem to want non-Tesla electric cars. They want Tesla’s because of the brand cachet.

The electric car argument is a lot more complex than that, the EV1 documentary details why.

There are cheap cars out there. A base Spark is only slightly more expensive than a Yugo would be in 2018 dollars, and is a vastly better car in pretty much every way.

This is why, when looking for an explanation, your average engineer doesn’t go looking at Engineering Explained.

CD-ROM? Luxury! In my day, we browsed our cars on a floppy disk, and we liked it.

CEO should put his money where his mouth is and recreate this exact scenario. He can be the person walking with the bike.

Disagree. Everywhere else in the world, VW and trucks go hand in hand. It’s only here in the States that we’re so hidebound to such narrow notions of who builds what.

That’s because the Frontier hasn’t been redesigned in any significant way since the Bush Jr first came to office.

Oh look the exact car I want except with me least favorite transmission and not sold where I live, Yay! Good to know that the this I want is both ruined and unattainable, happy friday everyone!

If it makes you feel any better...it didn’t have the manual option.

I think you got your codes mixed up. It’s 2331 I believe you’re referencing:

Two $75k+ Italian/FCA sedans with Ferrari derived V6 engines? I’m sure plenty of them cross shop, then decide upon their brand of choosing.

...so a Chrysler dealership lot?

Well, that guy was arrested and may possibly lose his license or even car... so he’s been dealt with, I’d say.

Don’t pretend like cop training prepares you to out race a Hellcat in a shitty PPV.

my guess, in the context of battery pack longevity would be Active Thermal Management to keep things in the best operating range.

I haven’t seen those before! Awesome. Good way to get your car vandalized in the intolerant People’s State of Taxifornia.

And then they have the audacity to send you these obnoxious and pretentious little demons
