Even if it doesn’t end up being the long term solution, what do you suggest doing instead?

Bill’s Porsche fandom goes way back. His infamous mugshot was taken after he was arrested for having a little bit too much fun with his first 911 on the desert roads around Microsoft’s original office in Albuquerque.
The Taycan purchase is not a surprise. Bill is a Porsche fan and also owns a freaking 959, which instantly grants him all kinds of cred that no amount of tweeting can undo.
IDK every time I hear Musk talk, it’s pretty underwhelming.
This is what I like about GM and Ford’s approach. They are doing all their testing privately with U-Michigan and Michigan State (because its close to home for them) rather than just spawning it on the public for beta testing like Tesla and Uber.
Yeah I don't really want our publicly funded roads to be a part of corporate beta testing
people who say it can’t be done get canned, while those who say it can are just wrong but live to get another paycheck

They’re still in prototype testing on the Bronco. It launches this summer, so sadly no Palpatine level of stock... yet. On a side note, the test cars are causing such a stir at the prototype plants that they have had to lock the covers on the uncamo’d cars overnight, so nobody leaks them. I’ve never seen that before.…
Just turn the cars around and let em go down the line backwards, duh.
I’m sure there were a bunch of Project Managers- with no real world training- guaranteeing that it could be done with minimal problems. Its all pretty simple in Excel charts and graphs. The poop only hits the fan once you try to do it in the real world.
I traded my built 2-door JL with a $15k loan balance for a paid-for Lexus CT200H in anticipation of ordering my 2-Door Bronco. I’m all-in and I know I’m not the only one.
A lot of people praising Trump for the strong economy stock market don’t even have stocks.
Ford was my client once. I promise you they’re not nearly that cool. Only pharma and finance companies party like that
I understand that we all make mistakes, but trying to rush the launch of a product as important as the Explorer was incredibly stupid. People should get fired for it. The costs of building faulty vehicles in Chicago and then shipping them to Detroit for repairs probably made all of those Explorers a major net loss for…
A strong stock market is not the same as a strong economy.
I have a 2020 Explorer as a rental this week and after having been involved in its launch I am quite happy to say it’s excellent. Considering it’s size it’s actually quite “throwable” and can take a bit of aggressive driving better than some other similar suvs and is a pretty nice place to be for my ~1h each way…
Did you buy a new, manual-car last year? Congratulations. You’re part of the one percent.
You guys! I did my small part to save the manuals and bought a 2019 GTI with one last week! I feel so proud. And it’s so much fun! The sad thing is is that it’ll probably be the last one I ever own, unless I’m able to have a third fun car one day. Gonna enjoy it for many years though!
