This was kinda the mistake they made: Roadkill was never the sort of thing that belonged behind a paywall. It’s appeal was totally different than the typical content that goes into a magazine. The show effectively created it’s own genre of content that tons of other creators now out out there for free, some of which pr…

I’m curious, is that a $10 fee an adder onto a preexisting Max subscription, or is all the MT content just getting moved there on the basic plan?

Seconded as someone who was in the office working for a commercial electrian in 2018. All of our steel conduit got a 1.5x hike in pricing when the tariffs took effect, in spite of it all coming from american mills. Clients kept paying for it, but as we’ve learned since, the effects trickle down economics are felt much…

Definitely, feasibility isn’t the question, it’s more about what sort of mileage you get out of a 2.7EB moving that much car. If an F-150 gets 20/27, one would think a sedan would be even better.

Hell yes, I know some guy on youtube did it with a Mustang.

The situation with the minivans is mind-boggling. It’s like they are in denial that people actually wanted their minivans. 

Indeed. This is an easy add to my list titled “crazy crap I would try if I had all the time and money in the world”.

The obvious logic here is that they are probably going to get bankrupt anyway, so might as well do some cowboy shit until the end. 

putting an LS in there kind of addresses the whole “lack of support” issue, albeit in a way that may be more confusing.

LMAO, Tom woke up and chose violence today with this rec. Is there proof anywhere of someone LS-swapping a TourX? Won’t deny it sounds like a riot, but it also sounds like something a lot more complicated than “assume someone will charge 40 grand to do it”.

Fair, although I’d argue it being all those negative things is what *makes* it traditional.

Seriously, Donald Trump is not the reason why people who normally buy a Dodge Charger absolutely do not want an EV Dodge Charger. 

The article we are commenting on is literally about how the trillion dollar valuation is from the election. Looking at the stock price over the last year, the two most deliberate spikes coincide with the moment where people were most certain Musk’s best friend would get elected president (the awful July debate by…

Fundamental point remains that people will buy cheap cars if you’re selling them. Tesla is the only one to unapologetically take a hit on margin just to sell the car like the Chinese probably will if they can ever sell here un-tariffed.

Oh I definitely think they have been, this court case is just the only real chance for there to be some concrete proof of it.

That’s still a pretty obvious case of the same root problem: Just having a dial for each function is all anyone actually wants, but is the most expensive option.

I’m not sure if it was the point OP was making, but back when EV sales were falling behind projections last year, Tesla cut prices more aggressively than any established manufacturer did. That it kept sales up while getting punished in the stock market is kinda the model for what the Chinese market would want to do to…

I’m really just hoping the result of the proceedings is we find out the France family was absolutely fleecing everyone involved with this sport to its own benefit. 

I haven’t seen a ton of these in the wild, but like you, at least half of them have been wrapped. I don’t think anyone at Tesla is ever going to realize how pointless of an exercise it was to make this thing out of stainless steel. 

Not once you get far enough north. It’s a factory option on most cars, but you’ll only see them show up on the lot with them in the upper Midwest and Canada.
