Just because I’m finding this whole thread kind of weirdly hilarious,

I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN MORE

Nope. Clinton-Reagan will be their keywords until the baby boomers die out; it’s an incredibly valuable psychological shortcut (although “Obama” might work its way in going forward just because it packs a racial angle).

Cuz this happens to us, it never happens to them.

people not wanting to believe what is a pretty harsh reality

Right?

Tariffs....created...created a what now....

The tariffs removed the need for US steel producers to compete on price. The whole thing was a ploy for them to commit highway robbery at their customer’s expense—every economist worth their salt will tell you to never tariff raw materials.

IMO trying to silo everyone into a walled garden is a dumb move on their part. It’s going to strangle widespread adoption for the sake of coercing the handful of early adopters any automaker gets. Forest, trees. 

The missing link there is that most people, most days, would be charging their vehicle overnight at home. The need to “go get gas” would be significantly rarer; mostly limited to heading out of town for a day or more (where you’re typically making pit stops for food/restrooms/stretching your legs anyway).

Do you not tickle sharks where you live? Weird. 

you merely adopted the gear lube

1.1 million copies sold, 200 idiots (generously) whining about it....math math math.... 0.01% of the playerbase. Who already paid for it anyway.

Honestly, guys? All the name-calling on both sides isn’t going to solve anything.

Same reason they locked their credentials when they were all called away from their terminals to get the news. Disgruntled employee walks back to desk, nukes their hard drive, screws over the IP value the execs just liquidated...

Teslas don’t look like you’re sacrificing for the cause. How will people know??

Hot take: New England and Florida are both largely unpleasant.

I used to drive normal and then Orlove wrote an article and I turned into a slammed Integra.
