Factually true but irrelevant to an article about HOAs punishing people for not parking their trucks in their garages of the homes they own.

Strange that nobody’s articulating the disconnect here between people’s vehicle buying habits and their garage situation.

I see your list of in-demand crossovers and raise you the 2-door 2024 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 SR5 Xtracab that my wife and I are about to buy for $46K:

It’s always fascinating to me how few people truly understand what’s going on with SpaceX and Starlink.

He just got 303 million shares from Tesla, not “a $56 billion paycheck”. So yeah, you would assume that he cares if the stock price goes down.

I thought for sure this was going to be one of those “Amazon doesn’t require sending this item back for a return” stories.

Wife and I have a ‘23 Bolt EUV.  It’s such a perfect appliance.  I don’t doubt that they’ll make a better (and more expensive) one in the future, when this one dies I’ll buy a new one.  But for the time being, it’s excellent.  And costs about 3 cents a mile to drive.

From your link: NYT has the 7th smallest conservative audience of the sources listed. Fewer conservatives than CNN, MSNBC, effectively the same audience as NPR.

I’m on my second LC500, the first a ‘21 convertible and now a ‘24 convertible. Why buy the second one? Because they introduced the standard Lexus F “ultrasonic blue” color and I have a #bluecarproblem.

Damn, wish I had seen this. There is a famous Conoco station at the Copper Mountain exit on I-70 just west of Breckinridge in Colorado. If you just pull up and aren’t paying attention, you will find yourself paying a full dollar extra per gallon. Their bathrooms are lightly used and clean, and their bottled Pepsi

The Times quizzed more than 7,500 people

It was of their own readers, which makes the results predictable:

It’s not as good as AutoPilot on the Teslas (I’ve had two), but it’s pretty good. It doesn’t always handle exits correctly.  Probably the best part is that it specifically wants you to take your hands off the wheel. I just wish it was mapped for more roads.

I had exactly this conversation with the guys I bought the original Bolt EV from. I haven’t bought another car in a long time where I thought “this car is worth more than what I’m paying”, but that’s the Bolt for me.

I hang out with my local car youtuber friend a couple of times a month. When we get together he’ll throw me the keys for whatever he got latest, I drive us to brunch/lunch/wherever and give my impressions. On this particular weekend, it was their “cheapest EV you could buy” series which was a ‘22 Chevy Bolt EV in a

+1 for first year issues / major redesign. I was surprised to hear that the Blazer EV was so problematic, considering our ‘23 Bolt EUV has been excellent.  Cheap, efficient, great tech for the money.  But that was after Chevy recalled the battery in the ‘17-22's.

Bought several cars this way.  Worked great before covid, not great since.  As inventories go up I suspect we’ll get back there.

It’s a new way to find your Cybertruck in the grocery store parking lot.  “There’s my car...wait, ‘Fuck Elon’ is on the hood.  Mine is on the tailgate.  Keep looking!”

this involves Elon musk. Their lord and savior in Florida

Liberals in 2018: we love Elon, he’s saving the planet!
Liberals in 2021: we hate Elon, he’s trying to keep his factory open during covid!
Liberals in 2022: we hate Elon even more, he bought Twitter then fired everybody!
Liberals in 2024: we hate Elon even more,

No that only happens if they are whistleblowers
