This is kind of ridiculous given that the problem isn’t the work itself, but the number of hours that people are being asked to work. That is what the Guardian’s report was about: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/18/tesla-workers-factory-conditions-elon-musk The work can be perfectly safe as long as…

That’s fair. My in-laws own one and I’ve driven it once. I like the car.

Yeah, you might check one out sometime. It’s a good looking vehicle in person and it goes like mad. I have zero associations with soccer moms and this car, but who cares, really? Let’s say Porsche sells a bunch of base Macans to soccer moms. You drop the $80,000 on a GTS model, you still get a great car that…

Adjust the seats? I’m 6'4 and I fit fine. Though maybe I don’t have your proportions.

Your opinion is dumb. Porsche sells more SUVs than sports cars, and they have been selling them since 2003. This isn’t me-too-ism. It’s their growth strategy. 21 billion euros in revenue can’t be wrong.

This gets a strong “meh” from me. Looks like the original 6 series from a few years ago. Only now they’re calling it an 8 series.

I’m going to ask a dumb question. Why don’t EV’s have transmissions?

See above. Do note, though, that I didn’t say it saved Porsche from bankruptcy. Play out the counterfactual in your mind, though: Porsche never makes the Cayenne. It’s 2017. Do they look more like the Porsche they are now or do they look more like Lotus?

eh, we’re talking about two different periods in time, and I can concede the point to you without losing my argument regarding Lotus. You’re talking about the mid 1990s when Porsche was really only offering the 911, and it was still a handbuilt car. Yes, they had to move to automated production in order to cut…

This is what scares me most about old cars, and probably why I wouldn’t buy anything older than about 1996. I would want to have ABS, even on a track car, I think, but especially for anything I would drive on the street. And then 1996 was also the year that OBDII became standard on all cars. I am probably not ever…

Everyone will hate me for saying this, but Lotus should build an SUV.

In the alternative, you could just drive yourself.

You should still be able to use it. Chapter 11 is reorganization, not liquidation. They will probably keep operating.

I’d take a 911, because of the extra room.

That’s an interesting point, but why would you want an Up! over their other vehicles? I mean, a base Jetta will lists at about $18,000. A base Golf lists about $20,000. These are already relatively inexpensive cars. If you want into the VW brand, you already have an easy way to get into it. What do you think the…

Probably because the margins are too small. Small cars have small profit margins in the first place. Although VW has factories in the US, they’re not set up to make this car. So, they would have to ship it to the US or retool a factory. Hell, they would also have to make sure the German built version meets federal…

That doesn’t make any sense and it isn’t consistent with what you said earlier. If it “doesn’t matter who did what” then it doesn’t matter that one driver was not paying attention. You were trying to blame drivers who aren’t paying attention, remember, but now you’re saying it doesn’t matter if they were paying…

You’re making a big assumption about who is at fault in these sorts of crashes. It may be that the truck crossing the roadway is at fault for not yielding to the oncoming car. It’s not always the fault of the car that strikes the other vehicle.

That’s a stupid opinion. If the trailers can be made safer with little cost in order to prevent these accidents, then they should be. I can’t imagine a scenario where someone actually deserves to die in a preventable car crash. How are you assigning blame to them?
