Fuck gate lice.

In any major US urban market like NYC (where I live), non-black paint is NECESSARY for normies, because you automatically look like an Uber Black driver if you have one of these with black paint.

I kind of like it. Almost like a Marine Layer Edition.

Assumed it was some fly-by-night Chinese manufacturer, but no it’s a subsidiary of Enel SpA, a 70 billion euro market cap Italian energy company. What the hell.

This is a very fair analysis. A lot of manufactured products have actually gotten a lot cheaper adjusted for inflation, like electronics, apparel, furniture, and autos - largely thanks to automation and globalization. I think the problem, real or perceived, is driven by 1) stagnant blue collar wages, as Ryan…

It’s a really interesting cross section of society that owns a Cybertruck. Douchebag crypto bros, finance bros, influencers, MAGA turds who somehow also want an EV... Actually scratch that, not that interesting. Just deplorable.

Insurance companies really are the devil. But the dealership were idiots.

800 pounds lighter than a BMW M5

A colleague took his elderly mom to Italy for a weeklong vacation and a Taylor Swift concert and it cost him less than if he had just bought two tickets for a TS concert in NYC. Of course I’m sure the locals don’t love the Americans coming and buying up tickets either... I can’t wait for Ticketmaster to be sued into…

Air Canada makes United seem like Singapore Airlines

Plenty of blame to go around here, but as other commenters noted I think this is just as much on the consumers and dealers as it is on the OEMs. The dealers don’t want to stock cheap cars where they make little profit, and most low-income consumers I know would rather buy a used car with some cachet than a new…

Don’t know if the Tasman will be any good, but Kia has a long history as a producer of work vehicles and trucks.

Wow that is hot garbage - amazing how twisted our car market still is that a genuine Chevy dealership would carry this POS on their used inventory. What makes it even worse is the same dealer has a 2005 RAV4 for sale with only a bit more mileage and much cleaner body / interior for just $416 more.

Exciting to see an actual IRL deployment of a tech that has been talked about for years and years. Now how about those supercapacitors that everyone’s been talking about since forever...?

In this case makes perfect sense for the dealers not to take those trade-ins and don’t fault them at all. Now if they were refusing to take these trucks back at lease end, that would be a different matter.

Fungal STDs... even more reason for the robotics industry to get off its butt and finally make the animatronic, ChatGPT enabled RealDolls that we all deserve.

Good thing everyone in those states own AR-15s. They can finally find good use for assault rifles.

F1 is going to kill the golden goose if it keeps going the way it is. Not letting in a major US racing team and manufacturer to keep the status quo happy is some real NCAA level idiocy.

“Unveiled for the Chinese market in August 2022, GM introduced the Envista in April 2023 in the United States and Canada. The Envista is manufactured in Changwon, South Korea by GM Korea and in China by SAIC-GM.” - Buick Envista - Wikipedia

If we really want cheaper cars we need to import more Chinese built cars like this Buick
