“I don’t see a way for us to consume our way out of climate catastrophe.”

Like all surveys, it’s pretty easy to bias the results by the structuring of the questions, who you ask, etc. I’m sure this was like those employee engagement surveys that don’t let you actually say something is bad, but rather it’s just different degrees of good.

My random sample - scouring local Ford dealer sites last weekend. Seems like any Lightning on the lot is a Platinum or Lariat.

The only things that are going to save Jim Farley’s ass from this debacle is to start throwing big chunks of cash on the hood. And really attractive in-house financing through Ford Motor Credit.

Surveys like this are harmful to the market because most people are probably willing to stream ESPN to their car or pay for a Hotspot to keep their kids on Disney+, but I’d genuinely like to see the take rate as we get lower and lower on the list, below, especially when the free trial runs out. A good example are the…

I considered studying Logic and Statistics in college, but I didn’t have the heart. People don’t realize that the reason statisticians get paid is because they know how to manipulate the numbers in the favor of their clients. Go ahead and conduct honest and earnest surveys for your customers, and see how fast you can…

Reminds me of the time when Wendy’s switched from a 5-piece nugget to a 4-piece nugget, because all survey respondents said they’d rather get less product for more money. Or when Belk had to walk-back their campaign to charge the least amount for everything in the store year-round because customers wanted to always…

Common clay of the new west!

Nope. Not willing.

Some people are willing to eat literal shit, which is why the term coprophilia exists.

Anytime I see a survey that says “89% of people think....” My BS a meter goes off.

Subscriptions for software or data services (OnStar, navigation maps, live traffic, etc.) make some sense. Subscriptions for hardware features (e.g. heated seats) do not. Not unless that means car companies are going to replace that hardware for you when it stops working at no additional cost; which is not going to…

...with another 85 percent saying they’d tell their friends and family about the service.

You know... morons.

I also read this as 82% of people surveyed are complete idiots

Fuck. This. Noise.

That’d be scraping the bottom.

This is a shitty article.

Also WTF is up with the snarky "I guess 'Stand By Your Man' has limits?" Maybe if Wynette herself were divorcing I could see it being irresistible to reference her song, even if doing so made an unfortunate implication of criticism for leaving that wasn't warranted. But why are we shitting on this private individual…

I would 100% buy one of these in a few years if they get to dumb cheap money, like sub $2k or so. Would try to use as my DD to and from work for as long as possible. The convo with insurance alone would be worth it.
