It’s the inverse of the fucksticks in brodozers rolling coal on every Tesla they can find. “My chosen product is the only legitimate product, and anyone who doesn’t like anything about it is a fucking asshole who should be harassed and possibly shot.”

There are two things in that video: 1. Michael being a totally reasonable human being just like he’s always been and giving a properly balanced impression of FSD as it is today; 2. CNN video editor making the segment look like a complete joke by splicing together every single “whoa” Michael uttered to create the…

People like that are a big reason why I won’t buy a Tesla. No other car company requires me to buy into its CEO’s cult of personality in this way. I don’t know ANY of the CEO of Honda’s political opinions, and if he expressed some he wouldn’t expect Honda buyers to dive in front of him to protect him from criticism.

Whoever it is I hope they’ve got up to date tetanus shots.

Wait, what? Has Mike morphed into Jason?

Unpopular opinion: On a daily driver, I am okay with very minimal cladding. I would likely take the 4 cross Tourismo over this. Similarly, I like the amount of cladding on my Alltrack. As long as it is only on high contact points like flared wheel wells and rocker panels where they could get scuffed by people,…

I did mean property taxes, yes.

Deep down he's still just a South African teenager getting swirlies in the locker room.

The “Integra-Cross” was probably in the bean-counter’s spreadsheet.

Let me address the common complaints, one by one.

I’m not getting Alien. I’m getting a couple generations of development from this.

I remember reading a side show yesterday bitching about how Caddy XLRs can be totalled by a rear tail light going out. It doesn’t use replaceable bulbs and the replacement LED assembly is no longer available.

Not sure I remember the exact story right, but that is going through my head when I see Kia’s complex tail…

Hyundai seems to be setting the standard for unnecessary gimmick lights that will either be too labor intensive or too expensive to repair down the line.

I genuinely dont know what the best course of action here is.

You should be a good son and take it off their hands.

The answer is the car you have, or the car you can afford with a set of Hakkapeliittas. With a good set of Hakkas, any car instantly becomes ready for the worst Colorado, Vermont or Oregon can throw at you.

Yeah, but there’s a nontrivial part of the population who think “I have AWD so I don’t need winter tires”, and they’re correct for the 90% of the winter when they didn’t even need AWD, but then I get to pass them in a shitbox Jetta on snow tires when it’s actually bad out.

Forget AWD, a cheap FWD is going to get you more reliability for the money and that’s important. As a long time apartment dweller in Wester NY, what you DON’T want, is something to break on your car in the winter and need to take it to a shop because you can’t get the car on jack stands in February with 3" of packed…
