What does it feel like, being the sort of person who goes out of his way to hate people? Does that feel good?

I suppose, but since IIRC they balked on bringing the PHEV Tiguan to the US (which I would really like, BTW/FWIW), it seems unlikely?

“VW seemed steadfast on its plan to release some 25 new EVs in North America in the next six years” Why the hell would they need 25 models? Coupla crossovers/SUVs, a Passat/Arteon replacement (which it looks like maybe we won’t even get), a Jetta replacement, a GTI replacement, a minivan - what else would they need?

Eye to the roll, muthafucka.

Just so it’s clear, that’s not what I was getting at, at all. I’m not saying anyone should like this, just that there are more/better reasons to hate DeSantis than this.

Because I think there are better things to hate on DeSantis about than this? Did you miss the part where I said I wasn’t a fan? Or do you, in fact, even know how to read?

“Don’t make me go all Niemoller on you” Oh you’re so scary. Do you really think there aren’t plenty of better reasons to hate on DeSantis than this?

“If you think it’s a productive use of his time” Aaaannd here’s the part where you show me where I said that? I just think there are plenty of better reasons to hate DeSantis, and that this one is kind of lame, frankly.

Um, bridges are within the purview of the government, even in Florida, aren’t they? It’s not like they’re private property, so what’s the problem with the head of the state government making a rule about how a government-run bridge should be lit? Believe me, I’m no fan of DeSantis, but you’re just reaching here.

Gotta remember, Tesla isn’t “really” a car company... <eyeroll> https://www.google.com/search?q=musk+tesla+isn%27t+really+a+car+company

A4? LOL, hard pass.

Oh, overseas? Pfft. What about all the furrin diplomats who rack up tickets here in the US and use them for toilet paper?

Speaking of Tesla... what idiot decided not to have an instrument cluster in front of the driver? (And by idiot, I mean Elon Musk, of course.)

Dumb question since I usually avoid the exit row when booking flights (not because I’m a sociopath, but ‘cause I’m a bit fat and having the tray table fold out from the seat armrest as opposed to the seatback in front of me is a little inconvenient), but when you book a flight online in an exit row, are you notified…

Washington, Jefferson etc. were traitors, too. So were folks like von Stauffenberg. The problem with the Confederacy isn’t that they were traitors; it’s what they decided to be traitors about. (And it wasn’t “states’ rights”, folks - unless you mean the right of states to perpetuate slavery.)

Disliking it is not the same as not understanding it. 

So I guess FIAT doesn’t stand for “Fix It Again, Tony”?

Um, really? Is the Italian flag supposed to be some sort of mark of quality? ‘Cause, unless there’s a prancing horse next to it, that isn’t exactly the assumption I would make...

“Hypothetically the re-fuel time for a hydrogen fuel cell truck is less than the recharge time for a battery powered truck with the same capacity.” Not if you hot-swap batteries, which is probably more feasible for semis than for cars.

“It’s easy to make via electrolysis. Any place that has a water supply and commercial level electrical supply can make hydrogen.” You know how much energy that takes? More than you get back from the hydrogen. So why not just use the electricity to charge batteries?
