I don't need or want an SUV.

It's a voluntary framework to help brands avoid funneling money to Nazis, ISIS, etc. Basically all you have to do is demonetize explicit bigotry as a platform and you're good. That right wing media and Twitter can't step over that bar is damning.

The sheer reputational risk of this suit going to trial is just mindblowing. 

Welcome to the weird weird world of entitled right wing crybabies!

The AI hype was always delusional, not least because for all the claims it could replace labor, nobody has actually successfully done it.

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.

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.
