I spent two weeks in Italy with a Tonale and totally understand why they are failing. As a premium product competing against companies like Volvo, Acura, etc, the Tonale is fine and certainly above average but not class-leading. But when compared to entry level SUVs from luxury brands, it is at the bottom of the…

Exactly.

I wish they just let Alfa Romeo die a dignified death. Look at Lancia, it’s miserable.

I’ll never forget one of the car magazine’s long term reviews, which went something like: “Our Giulia spent more time in the shop than being driven, so we can’t offer a fair long term assessment.”

Ohmygod Alfa Romeo is dead. Just let it die. Ditto Maserati. Ditto Jaguar. Ditto so many brands that had their heyday back in the 70s and 80s. Just let them die.

Clearly that’s why people aren’t buying Alfa Romeos, not the complete absence of quality.

As much as I hate to give the many credit, I do like how Tesla’s watch themselves when parked and have that Dog mode so you can leave your pooch in there for a few minutes. However, I’d still never buy one of those swasticars, new or used. 

My wife and I test drove one last week and man, I really did not like it. The seats are some of the worst I’ve ever been in, materials are bad, screen layout is unintuitive, ride quality and road noise were not good, and the one-pedal driving way too aggressive. The most concerning part about the latter was that you…

I suspect at this point most of them are looking at you with jealousy. A car they bought 2 years ago and can’t afford to trade is now associated with a fascist.

If a Tesla owner doesn’t like me then I’m calling that a solid “W” for myself.

I think there’s a pretty good line to describe how anyone should feel about douchebag Tesla owners looking down on them: “Your boos mean nothing to me - I’ve seen what you cheer.”

Just sing the Horst Wessel song to them and you will be having beer and pretzels together in no time.

It does nothing to alleviate every douche bag Tesla owner looking down on you. Not that I’d expect a cord to make Tesla owners not-douche-bags.  

I literally picked up a Polestar 2 in 2021 explicitly because I couldn’t stand Elon Musk and I wanted an EV. Ever since, he’s only further dug Tesla’s grave.

Polestar is def on my list when we switch to full EV, I hope they stick around!

I say ND because of the owner. “Millenial anti-theft device”? And instead of actually replacing the headliner - with the kit HE ALREADY HAS - he just sticks a piece of wood - sorry, “milled ash” - up there.

Most of these are as stupid as the idea of honda and nissan merging

Deport Elon.

Elon / Tesla’s plan to hire nothing but white men and immigrate slave labor from India is coming to fruition. Exciting times...

Do you tag Musk with links to your sweaty stanning or is it a hobby to try this hard? Either way he doesn’t give a shit.
