I’m sure the politicians you vote for are the ones who don’t engage in such “frippery”...

Hell, I WISH my dad’s Aspen wagon was as cool as that orange one with slotted mags. Dad’s was white with fake wood paneling and had hubcaps. 

Not an ideal time to be voluntarily allowing prime engineering talent to become embedded within other automobile manufacturers who are well poised to be more agile with releases that might render a Tesla product more obsolete by the day.

I was watching Simpsons yesterday on the Disney plus and saw the Elon Musk episode for the first time. It was cringe AF. "Greatest inventor of our generation." 

It’s funny that company execs had to be cajoled into accepting the sedan. Honda has always put more emphasis on their sedans than their SUVs.

Are you actually incapable of seeing how one can be “pro-car”, and also anti-bullshit car infrastructure and dependence on the automobile? Really? For one thing, I am acutely aware that if many of the appliance-users had other options, there would be hell of a lot more room on the road for drivers.

Did everyone seriously think they were going to take a 6k haircut on Bolts and not make up for it somewhere??? 

It’s hypocritical for Musk to claim to be a free speech absolutist and then fire people for their speech. Doesn’t matter that he’s legally allowed to fire them.

How in an age where tattoos are mainstream do we not have scenes available for our pickup trucks anymore? Respect all body art.

I largely agree, though Passion Red should be higher. The Z needs to be a bright color - and the Ikazuchi yellow, Seiren blue and Passion Red options should be 1, 2 and 3. In that order, too, I think. Black and white look OK - but they hide a lot of the dramatic lines and, in the case of black, it removes the dramatic…

Could set a good precedent. Next up, free beer required by water fountains. 

Maybe naming your startup after a term coined because it’s expensive and difficult wasn’t such a great idea after all

Most people are also road tripping in something that gets better than 12 mpg.

The bright blue is ranked way too low. That’s an easy top 3 color.

I don’t know if I agree with that - the hardwired (literally) part of this is that they have to use CCS - and that’s where the industry’s been heading anyway. So any charger that receives a subsidy will have to be CSS, meaning it’s open to the largest number of users (those with CCS-based cars, or cars that allow…

It also only works when you don’t have people straddling the line to “prevent” others from properly zipper merging.

Great, so that’s a $2500 discount on a $10,000 markup the state allows for requiring some dipshit to show me a car I already saw online.

One day Elon Musk is going to wake up and realize that Greg Abbott isn’t trapped there with him, he’s trapped there with Greg Abbott. Texas is a state that depends heavily on oil and gas, to the point where they passed a law punishing banks that divest from oil and gas stocks; it’s going to start putting the squeeze…

And, for what it’s worth, the current admin’s constant slighting of him remains generally counterproductive to our collective interest in an EV future.

Let’s just say I’m not too sad I don’t have to pay for gas on this thing anymore.
