The fact that I can’t figure out what it is called is an illustration to my issue.

As someone who daily drives an 80’s car I understand the yearning for simple, economical and reliable cars… Cars are too complex and expensive now. From a practical point of view I know there probably is no going back in the US market. The roads are dominated by very, VERY large vehicles that have high output engines,…

The seller is certainly in the ballpark for what he’s asking:

ND - the mathing simply doesn’t work, on this one. It’s a 57 year old Fiat with “just” 45,000 miles that recently needed (another?) $18,000 to be/remain “roadworthy”. For $53,500 there are far better ways to either do Cars and Coffee or to have a unique daily driver.

“One way Ford is working to fix quality issues, Farley said, is by tying employee bonuses to improved score”

Our 2018 Ford Expedition transmission grenaded itself at 70k miles. It sat in a shop for 3 MONTHS while the techs had to go through an approved repair process directly from Ford. They and I both knew it needed a completely new transmission but corporate demanded they follow the instructions of an engineer who walked…

I am so tired of car manufacturers, especially Ford, and their quality problems that they apparently can never get a handle on. It’s as if Ford is the Keystone Cops of car builders.

Ford - this is the year we finally fix our shit quality!

Anecdotally it seems like there are quite a few consumers that don’t want or won’t buy EV’s at this point. The reasons are too expensive, worries about charging, range, battery life, etc. It is in the best interest for manufacturers to sell consumers a product they want to buy and if consumers don’t want to buy EV’s-…

This is the primary thing, people seem to forget Tesla burned 10's of billions or more before it got to the point of making any profit at all.  If it weren’t for musk and investors just heaping cash into the fire to keep it going Tesla would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

Because it is a forced transfer of money from one company to another for no measureable outcome.  

Are you OK?

It’s neat to look at, but to me it’s ND at any price. This thing is one major hiccup away from being a $4,700 paperweight.

“If you’d told me a few years ago that hybrid cars would be the talk of the town in 2024, I’d have laughed in your face.”

Yeah, I’ve talked about this before and I’ll talk about this again.

I cannot figure out why the BoD of Tesla hasn’t put Musk out on his ass yet. They were (as far as I can tell) only keeping Musk around because of his ability to pump the stock price. He has nothing left to offer in terms of tangible benefits to the company, the research or the product. He is now a marketing liability.…

Full Disclosure:

I feel like this is more accurately called a furlough. But layoffs get more clicks. 

1st: Polestar cut off more than it could chew and promised a lot in a short period of time.

What in the hell is happening to this site? I feel like its on life support. Did Nice price or no Dice just disappear? Our avatars got deleted. And a lot of stories now verge on pure click bait. Depressing.
