How is this not globally recognized as a bait and switch scheme at this point.

I really can’t wait to see the Tesla Stans rationalize this one. 

Tesla continues to act like trash, weird nerds continue to defend Elon: Film at Eleven.

Man, this is a real Poe’s Law conundrum.

You’re going to hurt the Porsche-stans feelings. Accuracy is important: That’s a lot of money for a Tiguan with a detuned Golf R motor.

You talk as if they are different things. 

That’s a lot of money for a Tiguan :p

Well, I need this.

Sweet Jesus..... 

I’m sure hypothetically one could be had for $80-85k. But I bet virtually all the ones on “dealer lots” will be over $100k. Still a bargain compared to the competition. But, uh, not a “bargain.” 

Why does this look like it was messily eating dark chocolate cake?

Yep. The half-ton market seems ripe for electrification to me; the super-duty class not so much until storage density has gotten a lot better. Although the EV Hummer’s 1000+ lb/ft of torque is certainly enough to get a trailer started up a ramp...

For those in the last group, it’s often their job.

Me likey alot...

Towing is like group sex; most people talking about it aren’t actually doing it, and most of the people who are doing it are doing it a lot less and a lot less intensely than they’d have you believe, and the relatively few people who are doing it all the time have organized their lives so as to accommodate their…

There’s the mental aspect, if Max stars backing off every time Hammy shows him a wheel (even when he’s got the corner!), then Hamilton will show him a wheel every corner.
