I’m surprised no one has gotten shot over this yet.

Given what the job is, I always felt towing companies need to be WAY more regulated than they are.

^^^This guy gets it. He only left out insurance costs for EVs. Manufacturers kill off cheap cars, only ship EVs with 100s of miles of range, high base prices and bonkers horsepower and dealers are allowed to add their own arbitrary markups without any guardrails whatsoever. Now that we’ve reached the bullshit…

I don’t think Toyota can lecture me on EVs until they actually make a Prime for actual sale.

They just posted Toyota PR without verifying it with hard numbers. I posted in a different post the Prius they are saying is selling well compared to EVs (which they use misleading comparisons of the F150 Lightning supply vs Prius) actually is selling worse than mediocre selling EVs, much less hot sellers like the…

Shocking that people aren’t wild about $60k (at 7% interest!) cars with limited, often-broken charging infrastructure and insane repair and maintenance costs.

After a relatively hot last couple of years, EV sales have cooled off. A lot of American buyers don’t want them

MotorTrend seems to be generally pro-EV.

When did Jalop get such a weird, albeit slight, anti EV stance?

35K for glass is a scam.  Nowhere does it mention what kind of car it is.

You have to look at it from Elon’s blood emerald mine owner mentality.

The whole argument about “fairness” of WFH is just a thinly veiled way to make the working class argue with itself.

Showing any political preference is completely stupid if you’re trying to sell a consumer product. There was a time I would’ve bought a Tesla, but now it feels like a car version of the red MAGA hat. 

Wait, a company with a reactionary idiot CEO who also happens to be trying to be CEO for multiple other companies at the same time is struggling now that there are actual problems to resolve and competition from other companies?

Elon’s famous for saying that if factory workers can’t work from home, software engineers shouldn’t get to either. But that doesn’t apply to him, does it? He’s in an intense leadership role in multiple companies. If I told my management “Hey, I’ll be spending eight months of the year working at other companies, but I…

Sure seems like there are a number of people who have been fortunate enough to have their decisions go their way for long enough that it’s basically impossible for them to admit that they even have the capacity for making an incorrect call. Anything that happens is the fault of someone or something else.

I might be able to muster up some empathy if all his problems weren’t knowingly and willingly self inflicted.

Fans: We want VAing!

Rush Limbaugh started it and Newt took it and ran with it. 

This all started with Newt and his strategy of demonizing his opponents as a way to rile up the base. Fast forward to 2010 when the GOP drummed up anger over the ACA to win at the local/state level and redistrict a ton of formerly competitive seats to be safe, leading to the party primaries being the “real” election…
