Ford: *selling an equivalent vehicle as fast as they can make it*

STLA: We’re developing the perfect small truck.

I think the “pea-shooter” was a gun disguised as a pen, a gag wonderfully set up by “gadgets that never work” discussion. 

-He told you that?

the GrandTourismos that have the better transmissions seem to be priced about the same as a Jag F-Type, which is a stupid purchase that also tempts me.  

Moff Gideon is a visionary who realized stormtrooper armor ought to protect its wearers whilst being toyetic!

So...

It’s also screaming out for a clamshell hood. The hood cutlines are a mess.

Hey GM, here’s what I want:

This means that the system will display important and integral information regarding the vehicle and its battery. His argument is that this isn’t something that can be done with a phone projection system.

right? Give me a phone app that can interface with google/apple maps and is connected to the car. Boom, done. My Honda app can tell me when the oil needs to be changed, or what all the system alerts are on my wife’s Odyssey. Seems like this should be far easier than GM wants to make it.

Aside from being skeptical that GM, let alone most large car companies, is capable of of developing anything better than a “really good” infotainment system, GM will be alienating one of their largest customers - rental car companies and their customers. Whether you travel once a year or once per week, it is nice to…

There is no chance I will trust a $40k+ purchase on any automaker’s in house software. There are a lot of cell phone options and they literally change annually. Apple is well known for not playing with others and this guy wants us to believe the GM will dedicate resources for decades to both advance what will be and…

...your metric for how popular the announcement to drop the one of the most popular features in modern cars is whether there was a mass exodus of reservation holders that probably aren’t aware of it? Jesus, GM has their head up their own ass.

Choice is a good thing and so is competition. If GMs interface is so great consumers will gravitate toward using it if they have the choice.

‘’ I don’t think anybody would tell you that the projection experience is fantastic. Right now, it’s convenient, it’s good, and compared to where we’ve been in the past, it’s been really good ‘’

I don’t think anybody ever said ‘’ it’s fantastic ‘’ about any GM product over the past 40 years. So there’s that.
