I don’t think you understand just how much the Chinese government subsidizes their industries. One of our suppliers - a U.S. based company making steel forgings - told us that they could not compete with their Chinese competitors on price, so they decided to open up a facility in China. They found they still could not…

Oh, 2 whole billion? That’s cute. Estimates put China’s government support at $231 B between ‘09 and ‘23. On top of that, they demanded manufacturers “share” technology and buy in country in order to be able to sell there. The scales have been weighted for some time, and every country does it, but China has built a…

Cool Amber. $2B a year versus the $40B or so per year that China spends annually today and the conservative $200B that China has spent over the last 15 years. And point taken about the fossil fuel industry, but that’s a government problem.

This site is a tough read. LOL.

It’s wild to me that it feels like everyone in the US has realized that we may have went a little too far when it comes to buying cheap shit from China (even though were still obsessed with it, I see you Shein and Temu shoppers).

Today in things Biden could have done to try and win the election, but done long after the election...

The cost differences are truly insane. Allowing China EV companies in will decimate US OEMs regardless of what they try to do to react. The only way you could convince me to allow it is if they built the products in the US, maybe by establishing a JV with a US OEM (sound familiar).

OK Bimmer

ND nice looking car but the V stuff doesn’t add any value and you’ll always feel somewhat embarrassed driving it. 

It’s amusing to me that the selling points for the Ram HD, are an engine and transmission designed and produced by someone else.

I think spookiness is talking about having to parallel park with the unwashed masses rather than your parking skill. :) I still see some Chicagoans park “by braille” and they don’t even have the courtesy to leave a note behind after leaving a mark on someone else’s bumper.

he remained a “happy customer” and that he still trusts his Tesla’s “self-driving”

Jalopnik really is garbage now. This is just... PDR. WTF even is this content?

I don’t know how a dude who blatantly smokes weed on a video podcast can have any clearance.  It’s literally one of the questions on a minimum background investigation, much less a Secret or Top Secret.

This hardly seems like the application of the wrong pedal. When you look at instances where the accelerator is being depressed instead of the brake, there is usually sudden and significant acceleration because as the car is accelerating instead of the expected braking, the automatic inclination is to push…

I’ll go on record and say this is the first and likely only time I’ll agree with Elon on something. DST is outdated and could easily be dropped. 

Using plain logic, outlawing “weather modification devices” will outlaw combustion engines.

what a desperately unnecessary article. it’s an ugly incoherent box, with the ugliest ass since the AC Cobra hardtop. there is nothing XKE about it, and certainly nothing that reflects all the sexiness that made Jaguar what it was.

it is ugly, it is stupid.

I don’t know... The modern interpretation of the E type is the F type?

Ehm…. No.
