It’s all baffling really

fair enough. It is neat and useful. I just saw a truck yesterday with like 16 foot construction lumber running from the tailgate (which was up), through the sliding back windshield, and up on the dash just short of the windshield. First thing I thought was “those boards are going through that windshield.” I was wrong,…

The Mitsubishi dealer down the street from me is owned by someone that also owns a Buick/GMC dealership next door, and the Mitsu dealership building is combined with the used sales from the GM lot. There are like 15 new Mitsubishi vehicles on the lot and probably 45-60 used vehicles out in the prime parking spots.

This is the same discussion I had with people when talking about the cyber truck. Those panels would have to be thick as fuck to eliminate any sort of vibration/frequency or wave that would occur, as compared to vehicles with panels or normal thickness from another brand, but with curves or creases.

You’ve clearly forgotten about the Avalanche and Escalade EXT. Both of these vehicles had pass-through truck beds back in 2002. At this point, I don’t know why every truck isn’t built like that.

Hey shithead, why wouldn’t you make the comparison to the upcoming Hummer EV? Likely to be similarly priced, aimed at the same “rugged” market, and also offered as a pickup and SUV.

They only threw money at Lordstown Motors so that the government would leave them alone on breaking their contracts. GM doesn’t care if Lordstown succeeds or fails. They’ve got their own EV thing going on right now and really didn’t need Rivian either

I’ve made that comment here a number of times. I almost never read who the author is before reading the articles, but lately I’ve been finding that 2 or 3 sentences in I’m scrolling up to see who wrote it.

They won’t though. The Bolt barely got to sub $37k before incentives, and I’m pretty sure GM’s Federal tax incentives are up/about up.

People of Jalopnik: “Why doesn’t Cadillac just use real names instead of all this CTS/CT5/XT5/ATS bullshit?!”

All of this is correct. But if GM wants to fill these open plant positions without using voluntary white collar workers, they would have to hire in more people, who would then be represented by the UAW. At that point when the other workers decide they want to go back to work, their jobs are filled, but GM isn’t able…

This is absolutely nothing like a seasonal flu outbreak in Wentzville.

The problem is that UAW employees in Wentzville are showing up for their shifts and saying “I’m showing covid symptoms.” At that point, they aren’t allowed to work for the next two weeks and can stay home collecting unemployment because it’s not that they’re turning down the opportunity to work, they’re being told…

no, it’s all voluntary. Managers would rather their employees didn’t volunteer because then they’re not doing their actual job for which they get paid

Welcome to the club. We hate you too.

I understand that, but what’s worse, Lyft not existing for people to be drivers, or for driver’s to be underpaid? Because the business model they have isn’t sustainable, and has never turned a profit as is. Being forced to pay more and insure driver’s and provide benefits as an employee was clearly too expensive for…

If they stretch it big enough for my 9 person/6 dog family, lift it 6 inches and put 33 inch tires on it so we can all get down the rubicon trail every day to our favorite camp site, and give it enough range for my 500 mile one way commute to and from work, I’d think about buying a used one in 12 years, but only if it…

Why would a city car share be any cleaner or safer than a bus or train? People can fuck, cough, sneeze, and shit/piss themselves in city cars, just like on a bus or train.

This sounds a lot like Harley relying on brand recognition and loyalty when new competitors enter the market

They weren’t drivers before Lyft existed. They’ll just have to go back to what they were doing before I guess, whatever that may be.
