This.  Just remove the loophole for trucks and watch how quickly the big 3 suddenly are able to comply.

Yeah it does.

Confucius say: “Man with gold toilet has shit for taste.”

I feel like you’ve put too much thought into this.

No.

I know you’re joking, but the Fit is called Jazz in other markets ;)

It still wouldn’t fart, so that’s better than my wife on most days.

Musk, the South African, surely would love China just as he loves Texas. Buy a Rivian.

The headline also sounds like a rebuke to a claim Rivian never made. It’s their first production pick-up, but no claims that it’s “the” first. 

in addition, not rushing to market with a product with massive issues. All the respect for them putting these vehicles through years of product shakedowns and real world testing so not to deliver a substandard product to market.

I just can't say enough how impressive Rivian putting a car to market is. When so many of these start ups hype and flop, they've just slowly kept pace and delivered something. The impact them revitalizing the former Diamond Star plant is having on the local area is huge, and I really hope they're a huge success. 

It’s not for the the haggling, but I need to see if I can sit comfortable in the car, even more so for my shorter wife. Who physically can’t reach the pedals in some cars. 

People buying cars without test drives confuse me.

But if I cover the shifter, how will I know which gear is where?

I’m looking forward to my Apple Car’s 4 year planned obsolescence. I assume it will just go slower and slower until it completely stops working and I have to trade it in for $40 towards a new one.

For long haul highway trucks, battery electric makes little to no sense. The charge times would be large, and the resulting weight capacity is small due to the weight of the battery. Even if fast charging was somehow implemented, and battery tech was improved to improve power density / reduce weight, the power flow…

Prrevious owner was....Abbey...someone.  Oh yes, here it is...Abbey Normal. 

I get it that patina is a thing these days, but man, this thing is ugly af.

Was going to be my exact comment. Writes for a CAR BLOG but says “forget all the gorgeous historic cars in a Jalop heaven and let me play golf instead.”

3rd gear. I think its a pretty cynical take the people behind business exist purely to fleece investors. Good business people know that sustained business is good for business and investors. That being said, loan backed securities based business model? I can’t see anything going wrong with that.....
