But the company’s valuation didn’t shoot up because Tesla revealed a compelling new product or sound business plan, it’s only because Muskrat is a MAGAt and Trumpster just won.

Plus, you can drive a Rivian all day long without people giving you the finger or laughing at you. 

Rivian.

The truth doesn’t always make for a snappy headline, and un-snappy headlines don’t pull eyeballs.

It shouldn’t even do *that.* They should be reporting Cost Of Goods, and they’re not because the truth doesn’t make for a snappy headline. They’re relating the sale price of a single truck to Rivian’s TOTAL EXPENSES. That’s including all the money spent up front developing products before there were products to sell.…

Thank you!

Please stop publishing headlines suggesting a company “loses” money on every sale. In addition to being a gross oversimplification of how R&D spending and actual manufacturing costs work, it’s just wrong on its face.

Finally saw one of these on the road last week. Damn, they’re even uglier in person.

In 2022, global fossil fuel subsidies reached a record $7 trillion, which is 7.1% of the global GDP. This is more than governments spend on education annually and about two-thirds of what they spend on healthcare. (SOURCE: IMF)

Jimmy Kimmel summed it up neatly:

Congress being GOP means that the has a has clearer path on new laws he’d like to pass; Mitch indicated the filibuster isn’t going anywhere, but he’s not going to be Senate Majority leader, so who the fuck knows what happens.

I seem to recall Trumps campaign and spokespeople being pretty clear that under his administration “there will be economic pain” for Americans. I don’t know why some Americans who aren’t rich thought that pain would somehow exclude them; but here we are. Guess we will all find out together if he actually follows throug…

I’m sort of morbidly curious about how much of the campaign trail was bullshit to rile up his supporters, and how much he’ll actually action. It seems kinda clear to me the inflation and cost of living are likely the reasons for the convincing win…doesn’t really matter what or how it started, the government in office…

They tried to repeal Obamacare, McCain saved it.

Adding a few thousand bucks to the price of two of the best-selling cars in America is surely an easy way to piss off the people that voted for you and your pledge to make America affordable once again.

Cleveland does get a proper winter. I’m surprised that road salt hasn’t already done this job naturally. Do they actually maintain their roads there? Here in MA, there aren’t many takeovers because the roads are just paid over horse paths from colonial times, and the roads that are big enough are like the surface of…

I’ve owned a bunch of Audis. What they had was super clean interiors, they hid screens when not in use and useful buttons/knobs were easy to find while keeping your eye’s on the road. They were not super edgy in their delivery of performance but they just ate miles and corners while maintaining very good manners.…

Audi leans too much on their styling, and their general design language is a little stale. Just about everything they make has this muted Generic Euro Hatchback look to it.

If Trump wins then might i suggest the Mercedes Benz Grosser once owned by Idi Amin?

Statistically speaking the S-Class has been the most Presidential vehicle of all time, more current and former Presidents on the global stage have used this more than any other vehicle and by a healthy margin. Not to say that is better than The Beast, however it is not the most presidential vehicle.
