That’s what I meant. The fedral tax credits drop off at 200k cars per manufacture. Tesla is at over 100k right now with their production so far. By the time the 3 hits the streets in any meaningful numbers, the federal credits could be gone.

Given how Teslas operated with the S & X they’re not going to make the $35k version of the 3 until the $45-50k version orders slow down. So given the inevitable production delays, 2019-2020.

I’m willing to bet Tesla runs out of incentives before they start building the base trim 3.

The German luxury brands know theres money to be gotten from badge whores.

27 mpg also includes ~20 min of idle/warmup time before I go home from work. After sitting at -0 or lower it takes at least 20 min for cabin heat to kick in.

Yes, but.

I love that in 20 years Cadillac has gone from FWD land yachts to face melters that can go toe to toe with BMW.

Contextually appropriate, proper response from audience, but just too obvious.

Technically it has three wheels, and has two engines that make a combined ~18 hp. Made a Desert Storm veteran Blackhawk pilot say, “You’re crazy, that’s really dangerous.”

Yeah, not a fan of the styling. However, we have been on their case about the lackluster styling. So it’s good that they’re at least trying new things.

Oh I have no doubt this will end up in the driveway of many a SF tech bro.

No. this car is aimed at European cities with congestion charges. Most will wave the charge if your car has an EV only mode.

They are starting to get as bad as GM with all the shit they are doing to stop Tesla.

So a religious fundamentalist demands that his post-pubensent son be with him at all times. When his employer tells him to not to bring the son to work anymore, he up and quits.

Can confirm: 00 flour = FTW pizza dough

At this point the most cost effective thing VW could do is replace the affected cars.

Actually most cops do carry personal liability insurance. They just assume that at some point they’ll be sued. A standard practice among some shady defense lawyers is to file a civil rights lawsuit against the officer that arrested their client.

Check Doug’s article on street parking. Plenty of people street park plenty of cars worth way more than $35,000.

I just revived an 81 Eldorado Diesel I found in a shed. It’d been sitting for 10-15 years because the injection pump failed. Swapped the IP with a junkyard unit and she popped right off.

Had a 91 CB750 Nighthawk, can confirm. They just work, and keep working. Just like a good Honda should.
