You, sir, just wrote the premise for a must-see reality show on the Velocity Network!

There’s no argument that this whole Tesla roll-out, pivot, shift, pullback is a bunch of monkeys fucking a football. But in an endgame scenario, we’d all be better off if the dealership, commissioned-sales model dissolved for all makes.
Keep the service side of the dealership and convert the sales floor to a “brand…
This 2020 Lacrosse is quite nice, don’t get me wrong. But am I the only one who thinks all of the Buick sedans pictured in this article look damn near identical?
I don’t believe this is a reliable or accurate example for a number of reasons. First and foremost, this is a Chevrolet marketing image. I doubt those two trucks were actually present on that street at the same time, if ever at all. This kind of stuff is usually “photoshopped” due to cost. That said, we have no clue…
Not to be too much of a physics Nazi, but LIDAR is not a “radar detection system”. It is a visible light wavelength detection system. Visible light and RADAR (RF waves) are two totally different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
It looks like a stretched, 4-door version of the 2nd gen Scion TC.
As of 1 Jan 2019 this waiver ability went away in CA. The new law requires every dealer to *install*—not just provide—a front tag bracket with CA’s new paper temp tag attached, before they are lawfully allowed to deliver the car and let it leave their lot (unbelievable that it took CA until 2019 to have a temp tag…

Since your question was a little vague, I’ll address the two possible asks:
If you’re asking whether I know for sure that Tesla will require disbursement of the full purchase price before taking delivery of one of their cars, the short answer is no. I don’t think anyone does, other than Tesla employees involved in the…
Great point! Although at today’s auto rates it should be fairly nominal, but nevertheless.
Let me refer you to bringatrailer.com...
Not only that, but unless you’re paying cash, presumably you’ll also need to actually take out (not just be pre-approved for) an auto loan. So there’s 3 bureau inquiries plus a new credit account against your FICO score, just to touch and drive the prospective car.
Presumably, you’ll also need to actually take out (not just be pre-approved for) an auto loan, or plunk down the $35,000 cash. I can’t imagine this return period being a true test drive, in the sense that you drive a prospective vehicle with nothing more than presenting your valid DL. So there’s 3 bureau inquiries and…
It may be cheaper now, but my concern is where electric rates are eventually going as more folks make the switch to EV’s. I’m afraid at the point at which they are the norm and ICE vehicles are the exception, power companies will see that car owners were willing to pay gas prices to fill their ICE cars, and raise…

I’d like the Miata’s (2019) drivetrain and seats, with the 124's sheet metal. I always thought the Miata’s body curves looked a bit bizarre. I think I prefer something more traditional looking. The Fiat’s body is also slightly longer than the Mazda’s—identical wheelbase, just a bit more overhang--so it looks a bit…
You haven’t seen the brand new Ram. I was shocked at NAIAS. In its top trim, nothing is hard plastic or even vinyl. Even the underside of the rear seat armrest is upholstered in semi aniline leather. There’s not a vinyl panel on any part of any seat. Door panels are all soft leather upholstery. And then there’s the…
I think a lot has to do with someone’s historical/cultural frame of reference. I’m a Gen-Xer (1976) and with only reading the headline, my immediate answer was exactly that of Patrick George—5.0 and above is “big”. I think many in my generation would probably espouse the same conclusion, having been told throughout…
“That means it will go on auction early in its production run, and Boomer money will pile onto it and relegate the thing to “collector” status before a tire ever hits the road.”
I’m not sure I’m buying this. This has never been the case with any Corvette so far in its 66 year run, no matter how new and unique. The C7…
Let’s just call them what they are, because it makes a cool thing sound even cooler--STACKS!!!
