I'll also bet your grandma doesn't want to drive inside an Xbox controller though, which is the actual problem here. 

Oh Andy. Andy Andy Andy. Buddy. It’s not because of age but because you are a good driver. Most people aren’t. Most people regardless of age are easily distracted because they don’t give a shit.

The further south you get, the worse the driving gets.

TBH this sounds a lot like the automotive seat biz was a drag on the company, so they sold it to a sucker.

The people most vulnerable also fight any changes that might benefit them on this tooth and fucking nail. 

I can buy nobody's thought to check but since Toyota is being pissy that tells me it's a lot more often than some constituencies care to hear.

This particular model is tainted like a cat pissed on it. Tesla will roll out a standard truck and that will just blend in.

There's one in my neighborhood and I just laugh at it every time. It's stock too so you can see the panels separating, the staining, the whole nine yards. God help that dumb fuck when it starts snowing up here.

I live in a city in that situation and it hasn't impeded EV adoption at all. There's even a damn Cybertruck in my neighborhood.

GM is gonna be all shocked Pikachu when the cheaper EVs sell like hotcakes.

“China was going to flood the market” Yes that’s the problem. When your government loudly announce its plan is to compromise your frenemy nation’s industrial base by flooding its market (and yes, they have explicitly said this) protectionism is the next natural step.

1st: What kind of analyst says that the segment that saw the most growth in an overall decline in the sector is going to struggle? The data tells me the larger problem is cost, not power train. If he was arguing ICE vehicles will get more incentives and drop in price and make up the gap, OK, I wouldn’t necessarily buy…

Reminder: CA does not have a choice re: EVs. It has incredibly serious and unique air quality concerns. It’s basically a giant bowl emissions are relentlessly dumped into. Remember that “waiver” Chump spent years crying about? It’s because if it didn’t have a waiver, CA’s air issues would essentially force the rest of…

Just make the Versa an EV you cowards.

The main problems are going to be that older people and nervous drivers think bigger cars are safer, and older drivers can’t admit they’re old.

He’s also probably worried about insurance premiums and the fact that a lot of people, if an ebike will meet their needs and their only cost effective used option is a smog belching piece of shit, will buy the ebike.

And even then they do a fucking terrible job of it. I am cisgender male, and Facebook regularly goes through cycles of trying to sell me diva cups.

Excited for the first time one of these fucking clowns puts a bullet in a kid taking potshots at a drone.

While I loathe the "BUT I NEED MY WIDE ASSED PIECE OF SHIT TO FEEL SAFE" crowd, I will say the problem is rarely outright malice. It's more often distracted driving or even just straight up incompetence. People don't understand that a bigger and heavier car has a longer stopping distance and larger turn radius. And…

Everybody blames the drivers because the drivers are at fault. There have been two fatalities this month in Cambridge because some jackass in a UHaul didn’t check his mirrors or use his turn signal.
