Protecting the battery is probably based on failure rates and warranty repair costs that Tesla was incurring. So basically they are screwing over the customer (by reducing range ) to save themselves money.

This guy looks like he was waiting for this ride solely to relieve himself

The first track I ever saw a live car race at: Eagle Raceway “The world’s fastest third mile”

Again, what do you mean “eat everyone else’s lunch”? In what, If anything Ford got caught out in the SUV/CUV game a bit, particularly with hapless Lincoln ‘00s-mid ‘10s. While Tesla “stole” sales, it was from everyone, not just one particular brand (and some adopters aren’t exactly one car households so the compromise…

“They took a few years”

^this. Typical CR-V driver, nothing unusual in that driving

The most I saw on a rental was ~51k on a 2015 Jetta.

Mainly developers and rich Americans (the percent you and I are not part of). It’s this specific property below which is the one I’m referring to. We looked at it and the listing was $780k (I was off with my initial math above after review - still $80k above list). It's not something I'd think an oligarch would be…

Conceptually it comes down to would you be comfortable if the pilots were not in the cockpit and said “it’s fine, autopilot is on”. Would anyone say that seems safe?

Neither am I, but somehow I've managed to get it so....

“...semi-automated, Level 2 driver-assist system, confusingly called Autopilot...”

We just saw a 3 bedroom condo (~1600sq ft) in Mt. Pleasant go for $840k all cash. I believe it was ~$80k above asking price. DC housing market is insane.

Agreed. Looking at these images the easiest way to identify generations is by those flush-mount door handles (also 2-door versions are only first gen)

Completely agree it’s a basic design and I’d want to try to replace that wheel with a 911 tiller. The focal point is that beautiful 6-speed and three pedal combo attached to a 4.8L V8. It’s the last true manual-equipped “sports” SUV.

I also remember seeing a brand new Cayenne Turbo not 6 months after they’d been out (circa ‘04) getting loaded onto a flatbed on I-80 outside of Council Bluffs. There Volkswagen blood has stained me a bit on the early first gens as this was not the “improved VW” era. With that said, I have much want for a GTS. Here’s…

There are two rules about “The German CUVs/SUVs equipped with manuals Club”:
