I mean, he already likes his Veloster. Get a Veloster N. That thing’s a beast.

Reliable-first shoppers buy Toyota and Honda though. They want to see a track record of reliability before they spend money 

And Tesla, deservedly or not, is successful. I see them everywhere now. Its main problem isn’t even build quality but that the syphilitic maniac in charge is doing everything he can to piss off the target demo.

Thermal blankets are white. Reinforced carbon-carbon is black. RCC handles higher temperatures than thermal blankets so it goes where the most heating will happen. Delta wings are best for reentry. There’s only so much variation physics will allow in spacecraft like this. Once we start building ships that never see an…

But since people who vote for Republicans are morons, it works.

You mean the constituents that just reelected Trump? Yeah, they’ll figure they have to answer to their constituents, which means Trump will be the baseline of the Republican Party from here on out.

Your comparison to Germany is bizarre, because you are literally telling me I should have voted for the person COMMITTING THE GENOCIDE.

At least we still have Pump 'n' Munch...

If you’re suggesting they don’t, then you just explained why you found examples of a greater than average depreciation that shouldn’t be chalked up to them being EVs, yes?

Yes, I’m saying it makes sense. Single-issue voting is a bad idea on its face, but if you must insist then when your choices on that single issue are between “bad” and “oh holy shit, absolute disaster,” then the smart money is on “bad.”

This was a stolen car chase. The stolen car inevitably got destroyed as a result of the chase, which means the car owner got screwed anyway. What exactly was the point of chasing it at all?

Yep. The big takeaway Minneapolis PD got from George Floyd is “we’ll show YOU what it’s like if we’re not on the job murdering Black people!”

The EV6 drops 20-25% after the first year of ownership which puts it line with regular ICE cars. The rest of the cars in your list are made by companies that don’t exactly have a sterling quality reputation, so any excess value drop can be chalked up to that.

Meanwhile, my old Mitsubishi Mighty Max was in a hail storm that did $70,000 worth of damage to my house and didn't even get a dent. ;)

Most of the EVs out there are in the luxury segment still. Luxury cars in general have horrendous resale value. This idea that no one wants EVs is absurd. I see tons of them every day and no, I don’t live in California. Hell, awhile back I was in Aberdeen, SD which is the absolute heart of “you’d better love Trump,…

That would be typical Musk exaggeration and bullshit. You know, like “full self driving” or “I can cut $2T from the government without sinking the country” or “how could I be a racist piece of shit? I’m from South Africa.”

I hate Musk too, but this is a bad take.

Yes, you made that point already.

You and I don’t disagree that our response to Israel has been wrong. Personally I think they should be told to knock it off with bullying the Palestinians or they can do it by themselves without our help.

I didn’t say I was going to pollute more. I said I’m no longer going to make a particular effort to reduce my comfort/enjoyment/standard of living in order to stave off a disaster that, now, is going to happen regardless of what I do. In other words, if you’re dying of stage 4 cancer, it’s OK to eat all the bacon and…
