I think the GTO was a nice car and all but I personally like the styling of the G8 GXP better

“U.S. automakers lose roughly $6,000 on every $50,000 EV they sell in America,”
I’m guessing it’s the sunk costs of R&D. They were doing the same headlines for Tesla for years, claiming Tesla was going to go bankrupt, losses on every car sold, etc. That was when they were building the Fremont factory, developing the Model S, X. Then building out Nevada and developing the Model 3. Then with the…
It’s the latter, and creates better sensationalized headlines. Many companies have loss leaders (mixed in with other profitable products of course) for a variety of reasons. In this industry it just so happens the halo products come out first with profitability the 2nd leg.
I’m pretty sure it’s the latter, and it’s just the cost of doing business. They’ll eventually reach the breaking point and then they will start printing money with these things.
Maybe, maybe not. Your best bet might be to walk away and let the dealer eat the negative equity.
The most surprising part of this post is that it was not a Nissan Altima
The hits just keep coming, YIKES. Don’t worry, third time is the charm, right Henrik?
I mean, the most eco friendly way to race would be to put an impossibly hard tire on that doesn’t wear off at all, but then you remove a strategy element of the race.
Nissan should scoop them up. Or Stellantis. What other makes are lacking in EV tech? (Nissan really isn’t, but their products aren’t stellar).
I really hope Fisker gets its issues sorted out or finds a good buyer. They seem to be really trying to make and sell actual cars, but don’t have the funding it requires. Probably because investors have been spooked by the many EV startups that turned out to be vaporware, and now they’re keeping away from anything at…
Did they remember the price has to be small too?
Hardly fair calling the Etihad Residence even just “first class”. There’s only one of those arrangements on the entire plane, and that A380 has very limited routing. It’s kind of in its own league way above first class with nothing for comparison.
It sounds good, but will only get you banned from a Cars ‘n’ Coffee 3/10ths of a second faster.
“Are EV’s making money yet?”
I don’t get why it’s assumed it would be a failure. While yes, the Maverick would be cheaper, it’s also selling pretty damn well, especially the hybrid. I can see loads of people choosing a R2T instead of a Model Y, Ioniq5 or whatever else is out there. I know I would.
It took Tesla 17 years before they turned a profit....
1,700 pounds heavier? Holy smokes, that is like an entire NA Miata that went on a diet.
