It looks like it has been a thing at least back into the 1970s neo-fascist movement.

The Tesla software has been occasionally hit or miss, but their ability to do OTA updates seems to be as reliable as electricity.

The price of the base Model 3 is almost certainly padded my the margin of t he performance models. Adding the big battery and AWD just about doubles the price of the vehicle, and it certainly doesn’t double the cost.

In a previous career, we had some of these trucks as fleet vehicles for crews doing transmission line maintenance. They were not good trucks for doing real truck work. Specifically, 4WD never felt right and they couldn’t be trusted in a bad Right of Way.

Having rented a bit from the Hertz luxury lot, I can say the cars are mostly in great shape. My impression I that they are a perk for frequent business travelers who are too focused and bleary eyed to spend time abusing a rental car paid for on a company card.

I think this from an era before they took your credit card.

I’ve had good luck with Vision x

People don’t buy half-assed compliance cars, but the CAFE and CARB regulations are the reason the F-150 is aluminum, turbo charging is prominent, diesels don’t smell like sulfur, every major auto company has EVs in their pipeline and the super car materials of 20 years ago are now showing up in mass market vehicles.

I’m a supply chain planner. I couldn’t find good numbers on the break down, but I feel safe saying most trucks are running loads less than 150 miles. These are loads from a port to warehouse, or warehouse to destination.

If you are looking for an offroad vehicle that isn’t a Jeep, these things are hard to beat. Low miles engines go for $2k, and Taco / Land Cruised / Tundra suspension fits them without much drama. 

Democrats have absolutely been guilty of the same short sighted thinking in the interest of appearing “tough on crime”.

This show is an absolute gem, and even Trump can’t overcome the allure of great writing, relatable characters and conflict that fells poignant and personal.

Don Jr. is an effective poster boy for a life well-lived for a specific kind of conservative man. While we see a silver spooned little shit struggling for his fathers approval, trust fund bros and ranching heirs see a renaissance man.

Yep! There is a pretty nice bike path that runs across it. It is loud and windy.

Appreciate the thoughts on options. The Zero bikes seem pretty darn cool. I’ll take a look at the NC700x.

Thanks for this

Thanks for laying this out

You only hear it over beers in a quiet place. The cops I know who get disgusted by the behaviour of their department leave to work at colleges, transition to consulting, or get their JD and work for the “other team”.

The renegade makes a ton of sense. I’m cautiously optimistic that the Model 3 and Mini-E are putting enough pressure on to put out something competitive.

Are you insinuating that you were not given the amount of “winning” that you were promised?
