DEI policies are tangentially related to making money insofar as enabling employees allows them to work at their best makes them better employees.

Do you even how DEI works at a company? Not a made up company in your brain, but used by actual corporations to manage employees?

Its not what Geely wanted - they wanted a lower production cost “British” Porsche - but Lotus should have remained small and sporty. The pivot to EVs and mainstream lux has taken too long, has 0 public awareness, and is probably going to result in a shuttering of their assets or sale to someone else. Looking at Morgan…

Three separate front 3/4 views but no image of the storage area haha. Seems about right :-)

Manual door release does not exist from the outside, and internally are only in the front. They really are the FAAFO of cars and all of the things that most drivers of a vehicle in the past 20 years take for granted are immediate annoyances. But hey, the industry spending years of trial and error needed to be…

What about being able to get into (out of the car) when it bricks?

Lots of “AI” labeling going around at the moment for anything that makes decisions based on preplanned outcomes. Its easier to rebrand at this point to catch the wave than to invest.

“Tesla not showing its tech is most likely a sign that it is so far advanced that they don’t feel comfortable having it visible to the average show goer. Definitely buy stock now.” - Tesla investors, probably

Most EV batteries will outlast the cars around them (unlike most ICE engines) and the recycling process to address these is already starting to build out. There is money in them there packs.

Its either so intentionally on the nose its funny, or so accidentally ironic in multiple shades as to still be funny.

So yea, #chortle

You’d need a lot of clicks on a monetized Youtube channel to even afford an H-D t-shirt. 

Its a race to see who will still be in business as a car company by the end of the decade or who will go the BlackBerry software route...Stellantis or Tesla.

Sometimes its ok to just be bald.

First gear is a ridiculous situation to see if only because it was obviously going to end that way when the Land of Forgotten Toys that is Stellantis spun itself into existence. They assumed that the money printing machine didn’t require oiling. Even Sergio (and Carlos is no Sergio) struggled with the complexity of…

I mean they can be anything from packaging (for a new technology) to an artistic expression (for basis of a whole brand’s design language) to specific elements (door opening mechanisms, body panels made out of fiber, etc.). As a working car, this is not going to cut it but unless that was a stated goal I guess I’m not…

Its...a concept car?

“This is a real “Worst person you know just made a great point” situation.”

Did he though? Were it Tesla, would he say anything at all? 

It could be legal issues, EV credits, fleet/charger sales, or AI/SpaceX related (gotta build up that Space Force!).

The fact that it could be any or multiple is a concern.

My favorite is people on the right talking about how the “MSM” skews against them not even realizing how little of the Full Trump isn’t presented.
