My sister had to do that... in her beater Beretta. God I hated that car.

No, that’s what you and I want, and what used car buyers want.

So all they need to do is to adjust the product mix to build more lower-spec versions.

I need that question to be fleshed out a bit, not sure what you are asking.

As a Scandinavian Architect I am pretty sure I am on the spectrum, so I understand. The wife is also from Iceland, which is not exactly a place known for its emotional volatility.

I saw two separate Lotuses in traffic this week - not the norm for NYC. Not sure what that means, but the zeitgeist certainly does not favor the company.

I read that as Jonathan’s Gay Baited community, but I can’t figure out how to turn it into a decent joke.

For ICE cars, this need is much better served by a gas tax, since it rewards efficiency. Electric cars, though, should be taxed on weight and mileage as everyone says.

It really is quite the site sight to behold. FTFY.

Yep. Also a lot of Toyota Highlanders in my experience; maximum stealth.

So he knows as much about roofs as he does about everything else.

It’s called hyperbole. I just told you I have driven Teslas, and their interface and driving experience is awful. Touchscreens are the absolute worst development for cars and I do not need fart noise generators. Give me a light and efficient car with analog knobs for all controls outside of the stereo.

An executive’s wife. Also, it is $20K, because there were two. I probably saw about a million dollar’s worth of handbags two weekends ago (Hamptons wedding...)

I don’t understand how anyone thinks batteries will make sense in trucks. Maybe if there is a massive massive improvement in their performance (and associated lower weight), but currently it seems unlikely.

Uh... I’ve driven a few Teslas and I would rather gouge my eyes out with a spork.

Also, new car buyers (or leasing customers) have very different requirements from people who buy used. We typically want reliability and usefulness, fewer bells and whistles. Instead, there is a massive supply of used aspirational cars with broken sensors.

I would love one, but that’s because I love weird compliance/homologation cars, I love Aston Martins, and I love tiny cars. I cannot, however, imagine that that triple venn diagram produces enough people to explain a $75K Cygnet.

This. Can’t wait until manufacturers overreact and we are swamped in well-built economy cars and compact pickups with no unwanted features in six years’ time.

The article states that there is a 100-plus days supply of Hummer EVs. Do you think they just made that up? IMHO the Hummer EV is a bad bad joke, a finger in the eye of anyone who actually cares about the environment, and pointless since Teslas already made EVs cool. I totally admit that I want it to be true that no…

For Americans, it’s “whatever I don’t like is Socialism,” for the Chinese government it’s “whatever we like is Socialism.” It’s all very convenient.
