The DS is an amazing and magnificent car but I cannot consider it influential because only Citroën imitated it. The trend of austere styling and simplicity could just as easily be a Rover P5 or Pontoon Mercedes.  I can point to dozens of Mercedes imitators, or Fiat 128 variations,  but nothing imitates a DS except…

The Fiat 128 deserves even more credit than the Mini for defining the modern small car since it had the transmission on the end of the engine instead of in the oil sump. The 128 was also early into the hatchback game with the wagon and later the 128 3P. 

For something targeted at old people that's a fine interior and you can sit 3 across.  There's some GM plastics issues but it works.

The new G wagen front styling is a mistake.  I saw,one on the street and from an angle it looks like a Volvo. 

A Buick LeSabre from this era is $2-3000 with the unkillable 3800 V6 and a better interior.  ND for anything over $2k for this

Tesla will be the stuff of business school cases for decades.  Tesla stock prices exemplify an irrational market.  The incEl Camino is autocratic CEO run amok, and failure to deliver Semis because they diverted 100 units to internal use and would rather use the batteries in carrs is pure WTF as well

“But can we handle that much acceleration?” also Hunter S. Thompson.

Who do they think they are, Hertz?

The wrap is interesting,  the rest looks like a knockoff Toyota Tundra.  Depending on size, cost, and dealer sliminess it might be good Tacoma alternative if I wanted to spend the money 

Like so many things,German luxury car you spend a lot to get a little.  My classic R100S will remain undocumented because $133 is,the cost of a tire,I need far more

I'm sure that's some of Tesla's reasoning.  The,Volvo VNR and Freightliner eCascadia being an order of magnitude better is the other

Liters per hectare is irrelevant, this is an American vehicle so fuel consumption is rods per hogshead 😀 

Other than the obvious Tesla wank panzer a Dartz Pombron with whale schlong upholstery and anything previously owed by murderous dictator 

Yeah INS has to be the check on the GPS to prevent spoofing.

How many resources squandered on the incEl Camino could have been used for Tesla Semi production. Granted the cab is such an ergonomic disaster that customers are better off with Freightliner or Volvo electric trucks anyway.

Typical bureaucracy,  take a simple working system,  add three layers of highly paid obstructions to end up with a system that costs three times much to do 1/3 the result. 

Fortunately a properly initialized inertial navigation system will show an accurate position regardless.  Reviving LORAN may also be a good idea

I was wondering what happened to you. In 1948 the Arabs rejected the 2 state solution, chose violence and got their asses kicked. Since then they have been sore losers and rejected every peace plan and broken every cease fire and generally been such assholes that when Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt,  the Egyptians…

This reminds me of my back of a napkin idea a Mustang SVO powered 80s Ranger done up IMSA GT style with boxed flares and aero. It would have looked cool and the turbo 2.3 would have been different from the numerous 302 swapped Rangers

I thought this post was going to be about stupid insurance rules, because there's at least one case where someone sued themselves in order to get insurance to pay. This appears to be plain old human stupid
