Teslas handle terribly, and some of us think they are ugly. There’s two potential reason. I’m sure there are more. For people who like cars, and understand that they all feel a little different, numbers don’t tell the whole story.

I think not mentioning the microchip shortage is a big oversight. The manufacturers have simply been unable to produce new vehicles in the volume they wanted to. Obviously that plays a major role in the average age of the cars on the road. Before you can replace an old car with a new car, the new car must first exist.…

Kudos to Stelantis. Obviously there is always room for improvement, but when the unions main gripes are dirty bathrooms and old coveralls, as opposed to things like pay benefits and time off, you’re doing a great job. Keep up the good work 👍

Besides the million or so independent dealers with ties to the community, and lower overhead? Investing in used car lots is a fools game. The margins are low, and most money is made from selling finance products. Good luck.

I think Tesla stock is going to go the way of Netflix, once the reality of their situation becomes clear. They don’t have self-driving technology. They were able to create a perception that they were leading the field, but the reality is they’re well behind Waymo and GM at this point.

Terrible analogy. Cars and horseless carriages are different things. Gas cars and electric cars are the same thing with a different fuel source. This kind of thinking is why predictions have been so far off the mark.

They’re not making them. You can’t sell what doesn’t exist. You'd think an an automotive "journalist" would have a little more insight. Not that it was ever going to sell well anyways.

Poor Filipinos are now even poorer. Pretty awesome?

The whole idea that big government will control big corporations is laughable. It's a protection racket. The politicians put their hands out, and only the biggest players can afford to pay. In return, politicians increase regulation of the market under the false pretense of protecting "workers", the "environment",…

Yes, it is

If you’re transferring small sums though, the Western Union fees can eat up a significant portion. At the end of the day, they are two ways of doing the same thing. I think having more choice is great. One choice is cheaper but requires more technical sophistication, the other is more expensive but comes with the…

Nobody is forcing you to eat that garbage. Instead of pretending like they are, why don't you make different choices for yourself?

The good thing about them is that they are cryptographic and decentralized. Like any new technology, good or bad depends on how you use it. As an example, there is a physical card game called Magic the Gathering. I don’t play, it’s not for me, but people have loved it for a long time. They collect the cards, play with…

Lithia is a multi-million dollar fortune 500 company. They're not going to care about your silly certified letter

Or that he was intimidated by the lawyers from Lithia, a massive corporation with a full time legal department 

I used to work at a VW dealer. VW can be difficult with orders, slots of vehicles are restricted, or only available for order within a short window. They very well may have been honest with you about that.

Why did they put a price and a signature line on the order sheet, other than to imply that they have an agreement? It may be legal, but it's a scumbag move designed to get a customer to commit to a car today, and then let the dealership decide what to charge later. It's a trick to take advantage of unsophisticated…

Our “side”. As if everything is a binary choice. That’s the problem with this country, instead of having ideas and thinking for themselves, people just pick a side, hand over their brain to the party, and fight it out in the comments section. We live in a defacto one party system where you can pick you’re side,  an…

When you talk about statistics, you need to consider sample size. 8 is simply not a large enough sample to draw conclusions. If they had hundreds of employees then you might have a point.

In a perfect world, sure. In the real world those clerks are members are of a well connected public sector union who’s dedicated to needless complexity. More complexity means more union members means more union dues.
