You’re takes normally are pretty even keel, but this take is absolute trash. I don’t think anyone wants to force direct sales; most people just want there to not be a dumbass law against it. Having a market (even if only a local one) monopolized by a 3rd party middle man is in no way similar, what so ever, to me…

This is a one ton truck, which is why I compared to to current one ton trucks. All the big 3 make single cab long bed versions of their one ton stuff. Dodge also still has a single cab long bed 1500 with their ancient Ram classic.

Considering their capabilities, yeah. If you don’t need to pull ~17k lbs or a have a payload of ~4k lbs or more, then get a cheaper less capable truck. $40k is getting you huge capabilities.

Honestly, it feels like they targeted a Leaf or Bolt when they made the thing and they should have been targeting the Model Y, Mach E. I mean, it’s certainly not bad, but I would not call it anything better than acceptable either. Considering how new it is, and the upcoming competition and just how mediocre it is......…

You can buy base model, long bed, single cab, one ton trucks from all the Big 3 right now. If you avoid the optional diesel, they are all actually fairly affordable as well, starting at about ~$40k. Honestly, I can’t think of a time you haven’t been able to get a similar truck as this since like the 60s all the way to…

Shit, yeah, I meant Corolla.

Does anyone have experience with how big the back seat of a Yaris is? Can it fit a rear facing child seat without having the front passenger eat their own knees?

F1 wants money. If they truly cared about safety Jeddah and Monaco wouldn’t be raced in their current forms.

Those pressure’s aren’t really all that crazy. I mean, if the highest pressures you’re familiar with is the 120psi cycling tire, sure, 10k sounds like a ton. I regularly work with pressurized fluids and gases at about 5x higher than that range, in substantially higher volumes, for primarily combustibles. In some cases…

Shit, there is also a Ranger Tremor, but it’s a package as opposed to a trim like on the SuperDuty. WTF Ford.

Welp, looks like you, an avid off road enthusiast, really did forget at least one. There is an F150 Tremor these days. https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/models/f150-tremor/

I love em, but can see why others probably don’t. Great wheel in my opinion.

The fluoride in the drinking water makes us desire shitty crossovers over capable cars.

S60 gets 30mpg combined. The average American drives about 14k miles. Current national average price of gas is 4.26/gal. That is about $2k per year in gas. So 3 years assuming you get free electricity to charge your car. In reality, most people wont be able to charge their cars for free and gas will probably not…

I saw my first Polestar today, and I’m not really surprised why. For the most part, EVs are still a decent amount more expensive vs comparable ICE vehicles - or - if they are similarly priced, usually have some big compromise. Things are getting closer every year, but for a base Polestar 2, you can save 15% and get a…

Airstreams cost more because they are genuinely better than almost any other camper trailer out there. In my mind, they are kind of like the Porsches of the camper world. Their styling is timeless (partly because it’s super similar over the years), better built, extremely reliable, pretty luxurious, have a huge…

I just redid my 100+ year old house’s kitchen last year. I had some level/flatness issues and solving it actually wasn’t too big a deal. After ripping out all the lathe & plaster, I installed furring strips where needed to “smooth” out the variation between studs and make sure when I hung dry wall the wall wasn’t wavy…

I mean, nothing about this is gouging though. As much as I detest Musk and overall kinda meh about Tesla, a 3-5% price increase is certainly not gouging and certainly much much much preferred to dealers cranking up the price 20%+ on cars. At the end of the day, the cost went up for Tesla and adjusted their pricing…

Every spring, oil refineries switch from producing from producing heavy crude to light sweet crude.
