I really wasn’t going to respond to this and just leave you in the grey, but what the hell, let’s talk about this.

Slightly tangential ... the US, at an aggregate, spends nearly 20% of our GDP on healthcare. Which is still a completely absurd number.

Put a substantial down-payment on a house.

Came here to pretty much say this. Audi touting reliability as a top concern! And especially in regards to electrical components?!

People can say a lot of things about Tesla’s build quality, weird interiors, and their founder’s lunatic claims and ravings, but their individual battery cell monitoring and control system…

Exactly, Tesla came out of nowhere and right now, their closest competition has been a $100k Porsche. 

This needs more stars. If I wanted to read a press release I could go to Audi's website.

Most laughable is the bit about long-term battery health as if Audi gives a fuck about reliability outside of their warranty.

Don't apologise for shit Hogan. You spoke the truth and Audi fed you marketing garbage. Tesla for all their faults, has absolutely destroyed in battery and motor tech.

This has nothing to do with what drivers prefer. The FIA will always choose the safest option (after getting all input) regardless of driver preference.

“I am thrilled to accept the role of CEO and look forward to powering FF to its next stage of success,”

“The attendants are making minimum wage”

Here are a pair of quasi-secrets that may bring you back:

I don’t know about Costco where you live, but here it is closer to 30 cents cheaper.  That is before the additional cash back I get for using the Costco credit card.

Get your gas at Costco. They don’t even have a bucket to wash your windows with to help keep the line going.

Agreed. I want either none of this tech in my car, or I want it fully autonomous. There should be no in-between IMHO.

the guys in charge of F-e should create a rule mandating color consistency of 90% of the car at least, don’t get why the teams are all using the same shades of color with mixed lively, it isn’t a problem for endurance but on a formula is really annoying

Especially with the “auto-pilot” - hey, you weren’t really paying attention when auto-pilot drove off the road and killed some pedestrians - claim denied!

Neutral:
He wants a deregulated free market.

Not that banks or big corporations need defending...
