drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

Anyone voting ND on this is absolutely out of their mind. This would be a NP even if the entire engine were missing.

Who in the world is going to buy a Tesla now, after seeing how Musk runs Twitter into the ground?

 Musk’s Twitter acquisition has shown in real time that he has absolutely no idea whatsoever how to run a business. It’s extremely eye-opening. There are plenty of wealthy investors who would be bad at actually running businesses, but Musk’s persona is all about his business acumen... which has been shown to be…

It’s a project car that’s priced like a project car. Not for me, but it’s NP for somebody.

Any answer that’s not a straight-8 is wrong. I’m going with the Duesenberg:

I’ve had 3 consecutive sets of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (in its various iterations) on my Mustang for the last 8 years I’ve had the Mustang. They’re phenomenal tires (although I swap them out for snow tires because they’re useless in anything more than a light dusting of snow). I can’t imagine switching to something…

A 1991 Chevy C/K (single cab with an 8 foot bed) was 211.8 inches long; 69.8 inches high; and 76.4 inches wide (without mirrors).

It looks like a Ford Probe.

I am the right age group for nostalgia for this car, but, man... I have no nostalgia whatsoever for this car. I could not possibly care less about this. It’s good that Toyota made an AWD Celica, but to me at least it looks... boring. And its performance is nothing at all compared to newer cars. It’s not even…

Aluminum body is a lot harder to fix than a steel body. Truck is longer for a given bed size, harder to maneuver on tight job sites. Same with width. Heavier, limiting the type of surfaces you can drive it over on job sites. Harder to repair yourself when something breaks.

1) I’m not a laissez faire capitalist so I don’t really believe in the purity or competence of the free market.

Jeep Gladiator. Sucks on road, sucks offroad because of the long wheelbase, sucks as a pickup because of the small bed. Just sucks.

Paying subscription prices for cloud-based or other external services doesn’t bother me. Sirius already costs $X/month. If you want to charge for OnStar, or for some other ongoing service that has recurring expenses, fine.

The single best and scariest (in my opinion) Black Mirror episode is where the guy ends up stuck in a house listening to the same Christmas song over and over again for tens of thousands of years.

Tesla has a lead in supply chain management that allows them to get vehicles in customers’ hands at the moment in a way that other manufacturers can’t. If Ford could make enough Mach E’s to meet demand, nobody would be buying Model 3's or Modely Y’s. 

I mean, I think we’re going to see (have already started to see?) a big drop in Tesla demand based on Musk revealing himself to be a madman with the Twitter acquisition. I know I wouldn’t trust any car made by a company he runs at this point.

Looking at the way Musk has run Twitter into the ground, I can’t imagine anybody feeling comfortable buying a car made by a company he runs.

It’s all well and good to talk about introducing all these new EV’s, but when there’s no stock of any of them anywhere it seems kind of... pointless. Will that change by 2024? Maybe? 

Musk’s plan was that Tesla would build an insurmountable lead in EV’s to the point where legacy manufacturers just couldn’t compete and would forever be chasing Tesla. That, uh, didn’t happen.
