They elected the mayor, presumably. I’ll hazard a guess that there are a lot of “we love our police” and “blue lives matter” signs in local neighborhoods. This is a feature, not a bug

Former coworker has a Model 3 and came into Detroit for a work event (5 hour drive). He chose his hotel for precisely that reason.

Yeah, I’d love to hear from someone at an OEM with knowledge of how this can be

Sorry if you were offended 

yeah, me too.

I’m actually sadder about Bollinger’s announcement today that they are bailing on retail sales for now, focusing on fleet. I think their trucks are far more interesting than the Cybertruck, definitely look more practical

That 1997 Durango debut came with one of the cleverest press kits: a box of Durangos cereal, with vehicle specs listed as ingredients. Inside the box was actual Cheerios-like cereal and one side of the box had a picture of the Bob’s (Eaton and Lutz). I had one of those kicking around for years until my husband got…

Ah, for some reason I thought suppliers could use them as well 

I wish them well; so many of these prototypes end up fizzling out in the real world

Yeah, this is where an autonomous setup should work the best. I don't understand having human drivers 

“Aston Martin is in trouble” is kind of a Mad Libs story

“If you stick around long enough in any industry, you’ll inevitably watch history repeat itself.”

I'd throw in the Bolt as interesting,  but GM got rid of their only car I was even remotely interested in,  the TourX 

IIRC Canada's EV incentives have changed a few times, probably affecting the take rate. I know when Georgia dropped its incentive, EV sales plunged 

I don’t think he was a quack then, he and Roizen did some acceptable specials on PBS. Fame changed him
