Its the R&D costs. These are overpriced for what you get....in about 3 years. Right now, it what they HAVE to charge to pay for the Engineers’ salaries and tooling costs.

EVs need to have enough range for a work weeks worth of errands. If the average person drives 15,000 miles (this is a high average, its something like 13,000 miles annually but lets grease this fucking wheel for all you nay-sayers). then thats 288 miles a week.....or about 41 miles a day. Since we are considering the

Good thing you can recharge it so it’ll drive longer distances.

Porsche does this type of release all the time.... introduce the middle to upper trim first, then the top trims, then 6-8 months into the run release the actual “base” model. Makes them get more profit by selling high margin cars to early adopters. 

And for $4,000 you could get a bugeye WRX (even in wagon form!) and have a hell of a lot more fun without risk of hurting something rare.

And a Ferrari is just a glorified overpriced Fiat. And a Fiat is just a glorified overpriced golf cart. And a golf cart is a glorified overpriced go cart. And a go cart is a glorified overpriced lawn tractor. And a lawn tractor is just a glorified overpriced motorized grass cutter. And a grass cutter is just a

True points. The thing about it is you wont get sick of this life in a month. Probably not even 3-6 months. Hell, you MAY spend a whole year and be totally fine. BUT you will ALWAYS reach a point where this shit just isnt “fun” and is a real fucking pain in the ass.

So when employment does not present itself and your still a temp, why keep working? Obviously the money was good enough or she would quite to find a new job....OR her skill set was such that she didnt deserve to have employment.

I meant that anything with a Miura body would be amazing. 

Maybe they should worry about making a car that ignites soul, passion, and emotions. Instead, we get a dead feeling vehicle with artificial “intelligence” to try and liven up our commute to our respective machines.

A Miura body on a Nissan Sentra chassis would still be insane.

Employment is a to sided contract where the employer values a position at X, an employee values their skill set at Y. If X is more than Y, employee is happy. If X is less than Y, employee is unhappy.

Well that is a very bad practice that the company should not be allowed to do....but man, didnt you think that going to the temp agency was a red flag? And then a second time? AND THEN A THIRD TIME? I mean dude, at what point is it still the companies fault when you clearly understand how the game is played.....?

Why can you not apply to another manufacturing NOT as a temp? What is limiting you from being hired by HR as a full-time employee? 

No, its the fault of the corporation for providing a good enough environment that the employee feels is better to go into than the unknown of unemployment.

She can do whatever she wants. She WANTS to stay at GM as a temp MORE than she WANTS to leave for the unknown. Thats not GMs fault. She was hired as a temp.

Well if one person just shows up expecting things to change and the other is actively trying to save as much money as possible, id say the person who isnt doing anything is lazy where as the person who is calculating things is less lazy.

At what point does labor realize the corporation isnt going to hire them for full time? I’d say its after one year. After two years, come on now....you know better. After 3 years, you are simply just lazy. 

My local Piggly Wiggly used to carry their own brand of beer....something like Pig Swig or something. Most all of the store near me (charleston, sc) closed after the owner (of the local stores) sold to Harris Teeter.

This is like saying the eyes are entitled to everything the hand creates. Who is actually creating? Is it the engineer? Is it the sales staff? Is it the BoD? Is it the labor stamping one piece of sheet metal?
