And if we take out the “intentional” low volume, most the remaining vehicles are ones that launched during the year so it’s not a real 3 quarters of data. 

Kind of stupid how many of these “worst selling” cars are just ones that are either expected to be niche low volume cars, or ones that got introduced during the year so “year to date” isn’t a full 3 quarters. “lowest volume” perhaps but “worst selling” is misleading for a lot of these. 

46k hired rate seems light. A quick look at Tesla’s website, “production associate” in Fremont is advertised at $23-31 per hour which would be 48K at the very bottom end. And this is a total entry level role where the requirements are basically “be at least 18 years old and able bodied”

I’ve honestly wondered about this before though. I’m not suggesting someone try it or looking to try it myself, but in theory if you turn off the car, get out and chug a bunch of booze, how is a court going to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that you were drunk prior to your roadside beverage?

editing has really gone downhill on this site. I spent a good 45 seconds scrubbing that sentence thinking surely I missed a “not” or something since they didn’t share what the motive was. 

Investigators believe that the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 intentionally crashed the flight in 2015, killing all 150 people onboard. Pilots occasionally commute on flights using the jump seats inside the cockpit. However, this recent incident might cause a shift in policy from carriers.

Colorado already includes vehicle weight as part of the equation to determine registration fees so this isn’t particularly novel, just tacking on an extra 30 bucks. 

Plus campers have the added benefit of a nice place to hang out while you wait to charge. Pull off at the last charge station, plug in, whip up some lunch or take a nap in the back, then unplug and hit the road.

I’m no anti-vaxxer by any means, but comparing EV adoption to Covid vaccine 81%“adoption” isn’t a super meaningful comparison when a large portion of the population faced mandates that limited their ability to travel, go to restaurants or even remain employed if they didn’t “adopt” the covid vaccine.

$595 for a premium color seems pretty standard, if not cheap. 

He left out that the Wrangler 4xe starts at over $60,000.

How on earth did this guy think Tesla was just going to say “damn, check bounced, oh well, our loss. Hope he enjoys his free tesla”

We found them, the one person on the planet who doesn’t like chick fila!

“No honey I promise, that’s just my old pear shape boiling flask you found in the closer, they just used to make them out of rubber back when I was into chemistry”

According to Tesla representatives that Bacigalupo spoke with, the car’s battery had become “effectively submerged” after Scotland was hit with severe rain last weekend

It’s “just” missing the two most prominent ingredients by volume? Kind of like saying a PB&J is remarkably similar to two slices of white bread because other than two ingredients they’re the same. 

100% this. It’s always “oh you want heated seats? Well I know other manufacturers let you add that for $500-1000, but here at ford that’s available exclusively as part of the $9,000 luxury and technology package :)“

Absent from this article is any of the necessary infrastructure cost to support this option. Installing just one charger able to get a 900KW truck to 80% in 45 minutes is far from cheap. Installing multiple to support a full Pepsi fleet probably starts to bump into constraints of how much juice is available on the…

Seems like a smart business person would have used this situation to make even more money by introducing a 1/5 lb burger to “one-up” mcdonalds

Online orders are a double edged sword, super convenient if you use them, but really bones the people who try to order on the spot.
