Whats maddening to me about all this is that its all only because of Tesla they are doing this. And now with this push, it sometimes seems rushed for them to be first. GM made 2 generations of what was arguably one of the most important cars to come out of Detroit, let alone the US since forever, the Volt, but they… Read more

Knowing myself, I would probably bit the bullet and trade it. The gas money alone probably adds up to as much as or more than a new car payment monthly.
That said, I’m still always a bit puzzled by things like the Tremor package: it provides a lot of very capable off-roading hardware, but are people really hardcore off-roading an $80,000+ truck with a luxury interior like this? Read more
Good. Now I need places like Claremont, San Dimas, Glendora, Yucapia and parts of Riverside to follow suit because they were and still are very racist. Read more
Good points. It will happen eventually but this time around is different. You have things like income inequality, which widens even further when you break it down by ethnicity, a consumer market that for the most part is split between people that are interested in EV’s and people that aren’t, with the majority of… Read more
I’ve gone over this before. Pricing like this is why dealers still have a hand in killing off the very performance models we all lust after because of greed. Blame it on the dealership model. If it didnt exist we could have cars that were actually at MSRP when they debuted.
Affordability is much more than the vehicles price though. Its being able to have the credit to lease, which is usually hard for people that don’t have good credit and compounded by bigger down payments. Its access to charging either in cities or even being able to afford to install one at ones home, etc. EV’s aren’t… Read more
Battery and charging technology has come so far and so fast in the last decade that we should start seeing a closer to 50% national take-rate on electric cars by 2030 and possibly well over 50% just in California alone if the technology keeps moving at the pace it is now. Read more
Stupid. All for volume & $$ that’s it. It was a segment VW didn’t need to fill but since they see everyone else selling by the truckload they did a me too and shortened a Tiguan and gave it a Atlas CrossSport facia. Read more
Besides the concept, is this thing even still coming to market? It feels like its been in MB’s future vehicles section for 5+years.
Nah I liked the part where White people are faux being outraged at those issues as an excuse to find issue with what he was saying about White people.
Exactly. When its a hard truth for them all of a sudden its offensive and misogynist. How? Because its a truth they don’t want to face that’s how. But when the jokes are reversed and they are actually offensive, “Its all just jokes.” You can almost taste the irony.
Yea he ruffled a lot of feathers last night. And I LOVE IT. He went in and White women are made because, as usual, they don’t like to be reminded of their privileges’ or why they have it. Everything is all rainbows and phony smiles and subtle racism hiding behind sugarcoated friendliness.
It would be cool if it came here, but we know this would never work here because its a hatch and Mini exists. Who wants to bet money that BMW caves and makes a X1 sDrive28ti that’s lowered enough to make you wonder why they didn’t bring over the hatch in the first place?
The whole thing SHOOK me to my core. It was more insidious and sick because he was there actually helping them look for his wife and kids like he was concerned and the piece of shit had killed them. You have to be a monster to do something like that.
I would pull the trigger on one if I could. You could probably negotiate even lower than that on one. I know for a fact many of these things have been sitting.
The cheapest of which is a certified 2018 — and trust me, you probably want that extended warranty — with fewer than 20,000 miles for just under $41,000 Read more
Neutral: You have to keep in mind that China is a market that has over a billion people. It was a no brainer for them to most likely be the leader on EV’s. To do something like that here would be a gamble because the majority of the market hasn’t accepted EV’s yet. And that’s due to a lot of variables like consumer… Read more
I owned one a few years ago. Worse decision I’ve made. Bought it and got rid of it in less than a week. It overheated on me on my way home from the dealer. I posted about it here too: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/the-time-i-bought-a-jaguar-s-type-r-and-got-rid-of-it-i-1682716216
Yea I tried to justify it that way, saying a daily Starbucks runs ( and with me, that can be 2-3 times a day) would add up to more than that a month. But I just like more choices. I would’ve been willing to pay a few bucks more a month for it too. But nope. Its basic.
