When do they add cameras to the front bumper to see over the nose?

oh she already knows

The problem is that be means stocking 2 differnet cars. From a logistics /supply standpoint it is easier to have just one. People may go with/without a trim package, but a manual/Auto is dead stop

Base isn’t that bad, but Type R. Yeesh

That all depends if there is more that hasn’t been reveiled. 

funny how long ago the Flynn thing feels. 

How are they going to cut costs?

when the pre-production models were rolling out with complaints on the fit of body panels slowing production, a couple articles on Dailykanban from one supplier how the tolerances for Teslas prints were all over the place. Prints that didn’t have any GD&T, were left on the drawing defualt, or put to +/-.001" for cases…

luxuary typically have a little bit longer life, but yeah. that time is fast approaching. Its why I have a bit of an irk when people talk about the 3 getting Tesla completely out of the woods. where are they going to majaically produce the Y, roadster and semi? 

it is typically “/s”

I agree that he is scarier in the sence that he is more competant and more digestible.

It is their engine family, but yeah it means little. 

In the states the Qashqai is called the Rogue. They sell like hotcakes, but in Nissan attempt to grow market share a number of their ads are along the lines of “no job? bad credit? we just want to get you in a car” They have taken over mitisubishis demographic

Those were just mudders. 

Increased sales do not necessarily mean increased profits. Not familiar with the European market, but in the states while market share and total sales have increased that has coincided with huge cuts in profit per car, to the point they aren’t any better than they were 10 years ago.

unit sales are up, but profits per car have declined. A key part of the plan for the Renault alliance was to cut costs through economies of scale for supplier parts. This relied on greatly increasing sales. Problem is flooding the market tends to offer more supply than demand.
