it begs the question who does Trump think will buy these more expensive electric models?

Don’t worry, Putin and MBS will tell him how to feel about it once he’s in office.

You think merit is a factor for a position where there are 100k candidates? Um, ok...

Merit? Most corporate hires are based on personal connections.

Normal people don’t feel the need to advertise or market their decisions, so you don’t hear about it. It’s only these performative fools that make this much noise.

If only F1 was smart enough to check with you prior to making any driver changes!

Isn’t the real question, ‘who was running Tesla even before Musk decided to play politician?’

Daniel Ricciardo saw his end because he can’t drive these ground effect cars. McLaren wasn’t great in his time there but they (smartly) paid him millions to not drive the car. Then he got outclassed by Yuki, his less experienced teammate. Much as I think the RB driver churn system is untenable I don’t think you can…

Tsunoda is so unpredictable, even after all these years. Actually reminds me a bit of Takuma Sato. Fast with plenty of incredible race craft actually, just so predictably unpredictable. Lawson is may be less experience and currently slower, but he may turn out to be a steadier bet.

Perez was tossed out because he’s the reason Redbull lost the constructors. Serious discrepancy in capability between the two drivers is essentially identical hardware.

As mentioned, Yuki was never going to get the seat, they know he will follow Honda to Aston Martin in 2026, so it would be a waste to give him the seat instead of a driver likely there for a longer time that can grow into the role.

Agreed, I mean you can’t blame Red Bull, they can’t invest just one year in that seat for a driver they are going to lose anyways. Yuki will likely follow Honda to Aston Martin anyways, so what’s the point.

I was going to trade my 2.0L Turbo for a V-6 but that motor killed the deal for me. It’s a slug. The only people that hate the 2.0L are the people that don’t have them.

I think it’s more to do with the 4cyl being turbo, doesnt matter the brand people just view them as an expensive item that will have to be replaced

I’ve been saying this for over a year... no matter what happened in the 2024 election, Trump would be the GOP nominee in 2028.

The general public has demonstrated that they are not responsible enough to be allowed to use the internet.

I really wouldn’t mind seeing this, or pretty much any other sedan/fastback, with a long-roof option. 

During the VC riches days, they’d pay gig-workers a ton to drive around and get them charged and redeployed by any means necessary.

The other thing that the idiots/liars don’t understand is that the infrastructure necessary to start making those things again is likely gone. There aren’t a bunch of pristine, modern factories sitting around just waiting for somebody to turn the lights back on. We saw this when American steel started to die. We could…

The company pays a crew of freelancers to drive around and pick them up at night to do repairs and charging, then rotate them out with charged ones.
