1st legitimately sucks. For all the stupid that goes on at this company, somebody (I’m assuming it wasn’t Musk) at least understood throwing money at the Supercharger network is as or more important than the cars themselves. Hopefully whoever that is wasn’t a part of this. 

This is brutal, because I’m balancing 4 cars that would actually fit in my life vs. genuine *dream* cars. Best shot is:

Same here. There’s something oddly charming about the whole 50's retro kick from the early 00's, even if it produced some serious oddities like the Chevy SSR.

Right? I was kind of waiting for another shoe to drop during this listing, but this seems plenty fair.

don’t tell the boomers that!

I would’ve assumed it was just some backmarker at first because Ferucci is at least competitive, and there’s probably some actual sponsor paying him too much money to be on the side of the car for the Indy 500.

This dude 1000% modelled his look after Mr. Wrench from Fargo, and it is hilarious.

Woke basically went in three stages:

This thing is probably nets +1 MPG or two during EPA testing. A lot of people will probably pull it off. IMO it’s really indicative of how bad the thing is on gas that they had to do it.

Ron DeSantis ate this exact same shit-sandwich during his primary campaign for president. Eventually these freaks are going to figure out normal people are more off-put by anti-woke culture than they were by woke culture in the first place, Gonna be weird to see where that whole culture goes from there.

Blue on tan automatic convertible is the most boomer C5 a C5 could ever be. Of course one of the coolest dudes on the planet still drives one when its 20 years old, even though he’s not a boomer. This is still perfection regardless. 

As someone who saw a bunch of those Tesla ads while waiting for my youtube videos to start, they were probably just limited by the budget. They were all basically just: car drives around while engineer gives basic voiceover of something good about the car. It wasn’t dumb or bad, just completely unremarkable.

What’s depressing is that in a sane world, he spends the *entire* call talking about how they’ve got manufacturing BEV’s leaned out better than any of the established companies, and can undercut all of them.

The Maverick is definitely the tool for that job, and a different class of vehicle in general. Even though a lot of people will use a Tacoma for purposes a Maverick could accomplish, they really aren’t worth comparing. 

Eh, I think there was something on here awhile ago about them regularly being out of service. Pretty sure there was a rash of photos of them getting hauled by tow trucks. 

Kind of random, but this why I think arguments against capitalism should be nuanced and measured... because its so goddam easy. You don’t need to look that hard to find cases of a “free market” creating problems for itself that its either unable or unwilling to solve.

It’s kinda the same here in construction. The tradesmen who ride aren’t in Son’s of Anarchy, but they aren’t the guys from Wild Hogs either. It’s this big in-between area the rest of the world doesn’t realize exists. 

Yeah, that’s kind of the point I’m making. I’m from a family and now work in an industry that’s contains many examples of the “traditional” customer base of riders. The problem is that even if that base stays strong, losing the crowd that was in it for the style might not save the company anyway.

I wonder what conversations were had about giving the LC the 3.4 V6 from the Lexus GX. That seems like the most obvious way to separate the 4R and LC, but something tells me if you actually gave people that option... nobody would buy the 4Runner.

Even though the roll-down rear windshield is awesome, I’d take the LC just for sake of the styling. The 4Runner has the most “GRRRRRRR I AM AN IMPORTANT PERSON AND YOU SHOULD TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!” face that has been set on anything smaller than a half-ton truck.
