These are all old companies that either own or have very long leases on their commercial real estate. That’s why they want people to come to the office, they don’t want to pay for that real estate and not have people use it.

“Range Rover was late to a lot of new developments because people didn’t want to take risks and fail,” Melnyk said.

Somebody needs to make a simple, affordable and not-ugly electric for the masses that’s not overloaded with unnecessary bullshit.

If you think the EV charger space isn’t going to be loaded with competition in 5 years, you’ve got another think coming. What happens when there’s competition? Margins come down. If you’re relying on charging revenue for your bull case on Tesla stock, I think you’re going to be disappointed.

How many EV’s have you owned? Ever road-tripped them?

2025 Ford Bronco Sport Sasquatch Is An Off-Roader
...
The same EcoBoost engines will carry over from the 2024 Bronco Sport Outer Banks and Badlands models: the former gets a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-three, the latter a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four. The Sasquatch package also includes 29-inch Goodyear…

Tesla Is Losing Its Sales And Technology Lead

The biggest red flag for me is when the owner says that the car has a problem, the part / repair is trivial, but that they “just haven’t had the time to do it” and “my loss is your gain”.

Those of us who actually offroad know what the sign means, it’s the people who watch Subaru commercials and think they bought a Wrangler with a heart who don’t.

The most consequential distinction between AWD systems and more capable 4WD systems is that most vehicles equipped with 4WD have one or more locking differentials that massively aid in off-road traction.

A couple of months ago I spent two days in a press loaner Land Cruiser in Moab. It was good, not great. Everything I touched but the steering wheel felt cheap. The gauge cluster looked cheap. The extra 4 inch bump in the back because of the hybrid battery is annoying.

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.
