If you chose to start the update while sitting in the car, you sat there for two minutes and waited for the ‘get ready’ timer to run out, and then cried about being stuck in the car for the duration of an update..? Come on.

Should the vehicle have no power, these models do have auxiliary manual cable release levers also found on the door panel, but Tesla warns against using the manual mechanism, citing that it should only be used when the car has no…

As an LC convertible owner:

Then you should ask our President why his government is doing business with a white supremacist piece of shit con-man.

I’m not assigning a positive or negative motivation to what he’s doing, I’m simply responding to the question of if he’s a visionary or extremely lucky. If we cannot objectively state the man’s achievements without suffering the stupidity of “we found the Musk lover!” then what’s the point of discussing the man beyond…

Brings into question whether he was truly a visionary or just extremely lucky.

Variation. “Manuals make any car better.”

That overengineered German cars can be reliable if you just maintain them properly. Plastic timing chain guides, putting starters under intake manifolds, the list of questionable design decisions is nearly endless. Any car where the forums for that car list off the years to buy rather than the years to avoid is…

Look to the Tacoma as an indication of what the new 4Runner will be.

By the time you option up that Land Cruiser to what any reasonable person would consider, you’re $1-2K away from a Lexus GX. Why anybody would buy the Land Cruiser over an equally priced GX, I have no idea.

Gone is the ancient and tiny screen, in its place is a much more modern, much more bigger(!!!) center screen.

but the idea of handin Elon musk one cent is an absolute no

Yep, the 1st gen Tacoma frame issue is well known and any Toyota dealership you go to has had rusted Tacoma frames sitting out back for years. There is a push on the FJ side for a similar recall ( https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/class-action-lawsuit-filed-for-frame-rust.752795/ ), I’ve actually had some of…

I think this might also be something potentially turning customers off Tesla...I don’t know anyone who really thinks of them as “the BEST car” beyond the increasingly small group of Tesla/Musk fanatics.

People Want EVs They Can Actually Afford

I help dozens of people find / buy FJ’s each year. It’s always amazing to me that people think that just because Toyota’s are reliable, that they should be immune from rust.

I’ve always found this wheel-rotation-while-driving video to be the better FJ Cruiser example.

It’s a cheaper 4x4 alternative to the new Land Cruiser. Some of us live in wild places where we need reliability and a low range transfer and this is the cheapest SUV from Toyota that provides both.
