Not only that, but Tesla’s primary market segment of first adopters were the ones who believed in Saint Elon, the visionary liberal, futurist. His behavior over Twitter has pretty much dispelled all parts of that image. How many of his followers want to follow Elon the alt-right slur-champion and world renowned…

Tesla could be about to tank terminally, which raises the question of just what do you do with your highly software dependant, subscription driven, car when the parent company ceases to be? Thinking of buying a Tesla, think about what happens when it is no longer supported and counting the days until it bricks itself…

I think he brings nothing. He had a wunderkind mystique before the Twitter purchase (with a ton of detractors, but the mainstream still bought into it). After the Twitter purchase, he’s shown his ass to the mainstream and I don’t think there’s any coming back from that. I know the board won’t do it, but they’d be…

CarMax and Carvana and other mega used car brokers are facing a market-economics reckoning. When supply of new cars dried up, they (infused with cash from debt) helped bid up the price of all used cars. The impact on the used car market was like whip lash - values went up astronomically.

I guess it’s technically not clickbait if the the article blog doesn’t even answer the question?

I'd argue government subsidies and mandates did more for EVs than Elon. Elon is great at the PT Barnum routine, but making EVs cool for affluent people just isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be. 

Elon banned the ElonJet tracker because its use of (publicly-available) information (allegedly) led to a stalker attacking his son.

...you’re going to have to invest between $300,000 and $400,000...

Aww he thinks he’s an engineer. So cute.

ND because I know from first hand experience Chevettes are SHIT.

Back around the late 90s, my Great-Grandmother decided that she didn’t need a car anymore at the age of 91. I needed a car, so she gave hers to me.

Nope. Not a fun project at all. Too crappy to take power.

In ‘86 I was 17. My best friend had a Chevette, and I’m here to tell you, it was as far from “cool” as could be. 9x out of 10 we’d take my dad’s Isuzu P’up out on the weekends instead of the “Vette”.. it was that bad.

Looking for a good feature here.

I’m sorry, but we really need to bring back the “Crack Pipe” vote for this turd.

There is a driver’s side mirror, but none on the passenger’s side. GM was good at one thing: cost cutting.

These have no value other than to remind those of us old enough to remember just how awful the econocar offerings were from the big three. light years behind anything coming from Toyota and Honda. Absolutely slow as molasses, awful handling, fragile drivetrains and zilch styling. ND.

The only reason to buy a Chevette is to hook it up to a giant trebuchet and attempt to knock its 0-60 time in half. Or to invite your friends and their sledgehammers over for some fun. Or to see the size of fireball you can create with a chevette full of gas, fireworks and explosives.

What in the fucking Pep Boys hell is this??

I know this is the season of goodwill, the market is stupid, and I’m old, but I refuse to accept that one of these is worth anything more than $200. This is where the line is.
