I follow their production numbers closely because I just took delivery. I don’t have any position in their stock. Based on VIN assignments, including my own, they’re going to deliver under 10k cars in Q1, or about 750 per week. They will probably trot out an extrapolated run rate for the last few days like they did…

The reason they’re only converting 30% of reservations to sales is because they only offer the $50k+ version right now. I’m sure a lot of people are waiting for the $35k version they were promised 2 years ago.

Over-steer, mostly due to RWD with tires that are just on the narrow side. I will definitely be changing from the OEM tires to Continental DWS +10mm since I live in a rainy climate.

I’m 6'4" tall and can sit in the passenger seat with a rear-facing car seat behind me. Fits the big stroller in the trunk just fine and the roof line is acceptable for loading baby in the car seat. She really likes the pano roof in the rear. And since you can pre-heat or cool the interior, it’s always nice inside when…

You know what really, really sucks? I watched the full replay on the ESPN app, and you have to scroll past the highlights to get to it. So I got to see Vettel standing on the podium before watching the race. I guess I’ll have to go back to the old method of having my wife turn the race on for me so it doesn’t get…

Yeah, I took the wheel covers off before I left the building. I was planning on putting aftermarket wheels on, but the 18" alloys underneath are great, albeit with no center caps yet (out of stock). I’ll probably throw them on for road trips or if I need to use chains.

The GM DRL failure is right up there with the Explorer tailgate crack of the same era. Super high failure rate that I notice/comment every time I see it (my wife thinks I’m crazy).

Yes they are.

At this point I would be ok with an autonomous taxi around the city, where traffic is moving slowly. Not quite ready for the robot car to drive me down the freeway yet. There’s still a long way to go to make the experience better, instead of like riding shotgun with my sister who’s a terrible driver and has me…

They still own part of the “you have to wear these white shoes at work” segment. I’m wearing mine right now! I can’t think of a less appealing shoe. They look like they were designed explicitly to not need replacement for 8 years.

Underrated: Car naps during lunch at work. Heated leather bucket seat, a sunshade and a quiet cabin.

Tesla would actually benefit from the credit being cancelled, since they will hit the 200k US units sold in 2018 anyway and have an order backlog they can’t keep up with. It would effectively increase the price of their competitors’ offerings.

I’ve made it over a year without hearing him speak one word. Not about to start now.

Whole prime beef tenderloin

Clean while you cook, soak pots while you eat, and knock that shit out in 5 minutes after dinner while having a cocktail.

That is clearly the largest audience to ever attend a basketball game.

Definitely take the shuttle from downtown, it’s cheap and easy.

They could go a long way to reducing cost by having a single spec front and back wing. I’m not a fan of this idea or budget caps, or testing limitations, or engine specs. I want absolute top performance and technology, that’s why I liked F1 to begin with.

I thought the Expos logo was “JB”.

I visited Seattle for the first time this year, and was trying to get across the bridge to my hotel in Ballard after visiting Discovery Park at 4:30PM. I had to do a “please forgive me” U turn in the middle of traffic to avoid an hour long mistake.
