No, it was the most expensive status symbol to have back then.

The probem is, GM is in too deep. A direct sales model doesn’t help them now. You know if they tried, the moment the first direct sale vehicle hit the road, GM would get sued by every dealer in the country.

Winner is anyone who puts Schmidt’s face on it.

When people bitch about regulations, this is the sort of thing you point to in order to show we need it.

How did you make this comment? Telepathy?

1992-95 Pontiac Grand Am?

Police were able to get a description of the driver from an eyewitness.

You can’t use that as a metric for how it looks when 3/4 of those deposits were placed before anyone’s ever seen the car.

I always have this question in mind when I see these cars... How come no one ever talks about how hideous they are? Forget the front bumper/area, I’m talking about the overall car including the logo and emblem. Let’s talk only about style I don’t want to get into anything else, but seriously I don’t find anything…

Ok, we get it. You guys like Teslas.

Front Crumple Zones versus Rear Cabin Support Frame... The front is designed to be destroyed to protect the cabin from damage while the rear could conceivably hold people or precious cargo and is part of the car’s “Cage”

They weren’t breaking new ground here, as a simple trip to Canada would have demonstrated.

“I braked because I thought you were going to run into me”

You are full of shit.

Sounds to me like it’s a guy with a boat that will pick up a bunch of people for $82 each and let them ride around for a little bit.

After he’s done getting off his lawn, maybe you could run to the store and buy yourself a sense of humor?

Yeah, but Volvo doesn’t call their system ‘autopilot’, the very name suggests full autonomy like an airplane system, when in reality the systems are very far behind those. You guys have written some very good articles about why self-driving cars are just not there yet, but you go against it here. Disappearing lane…

No chance of sexual abuse happening on board a yacht in Dubai. Sign me up right away!!!

I think his point is that he feels Tesla are over-promising on the system’s capabilities in a way that could be dangerous. If Volvo aren’t over-promising their current systems (and I don’t believe they are), then has criticism has merit.

Do you own shares of tesla or why do you take his opinion so personally?

At first, I thought that Victor’s statement was an unfounded attack at Tesla, accusing Autopilot of being a dangerously inferior system.
