The Tesla Model Y sold ~$400k in 2023 in the US and 1.2m around the world.

People want space at the $40-$50k price point. If Ford could sell a Maverick EV for $40k, and make an SUV based on the Maverick and sell it for $50k it would have a world beater. ~280-300 miles, AWD, and NACS.

Making a small Honda E will not sell…

Did they remember the price has to be small too?

Get a grip. BMW turn signal engineers manage to keep it together. Be more like them. 

I’m really confused as to why Tesla hasn’t swept this competition. There are SO many of them on the road, and it’s a Model S, it’ll have vanity plates.

Yes, WE KNOW it does an acceleration trick. Yes, WE EXPECT you to use it as soon as we move left to pass you. 

Anything with a crackle/pop tune. The most common offenders by me are BMW 3 series who just endlessly accelerate and slam on the brakes for maximum pop. Good amount of WRXs too. As an old man now, there seems to be a new scene in the WRX world where the ideal is to not have a clean and nice appearing car, but to have…

I disagree strongly; cost wont matter at all. I live in a red state, and they could give EVs away for free and these folks wouldn’t touch them. Everything’s symbolism in these parts — EVs signal “Democrat” here, and they wouldn’t be caught dead buying or doing anything that hinted they might support The Devil’s Party,…

First gear: There are legitimate reasons why EVs don’t work for certain use cases, but the main reason why places like California have adopted EVs at many multiples of other states is that EVs have become front and center in the culture wars. Instead of a machine, EVs have become a symbol of latte-sipping liberals…

When the CEO’s compensation is based on stock price, what did they think the outcome would be? The company I work for posted a $20 million 4th quarter loss after buying $750 million in stock through 2023. That loss was used to justify suspending annual raises. CEO had a $43 million compensation package in 2022. I…

Want to fix all this? Create a one page sheet that shows MSRP, dealer invoice price and customer price. Then include all fees and taxes added as a result of the dealer customer price.

The car can’t move. Now instead of just remedying the situation, the cops create a situation where the protestor has to pay to have their vehicles repaired or they have to pay to get their vehicles out of the impound lot.

This is stupid ass bait and you should get your star taken away

Pretty much all so-called pro-Palestinian rallies really are conducted by people with anti-genocide leaning. It’s troubling to think that that ticks some people off.

If I did that to a cop car, every other cop would dogpile me instantly and I’d probably still be in jail.

If the goal is to have the vehicles moved from where they are, what is the purpose of slashing the tires, other than to simply be a dick?

Sounds like a textbook case of cops following their training to issue confusing commands and deploy questionable tactics.

“In his expert opinion if you want to be less poor, just have more money.”

Listen, I understand national security is a concern, but a lot of this just feels like the U.S. government keeping good cars from our market for the sake of protecting U.S.-based automakers.

Did you notice 7 out of 12 in their list were pure EVs including #2 through #5.

No shit. Batteries suck at energy density, and they don’t get lighter as you have less remaining mileage.

Gyllenhaal seems a way more likely candidate than Johnson. Especially in a movie like Life, with a for-hire studio director like Daniel Espinoza who wouldn’t be looking out for anything except the final product. Johnson, Fassbender, McGregor and Hemsworth all have pretty solid reputations as costars. Gyllenhaal’s…
