Here in the UK the insurance costs would basically prevent a teenager driving something like an iX M60. A lot of companies simply wouldn’t give a quote for anything much more than a mid-spec Golf for a teenager. I feel that’s kind of appropriate! 

Agree wholeheartedly that you have to start slow and work up to it.

While distracted driving is a huge issue, and one of the biggest, so is the fact that people can hop in 3-ton+ vehicles and/or vehicles with 400+ hp without any sort of graduated licensing program. There should be different classes of non-commercial vehicle licensing for cars with excessive weight (ex full size…

I do like it, despite the rear deck looking like a toilet seat lid.

That’s awesome

These people also wait until all their groceries are rung up before slowly pulling out their checkbook and s l o w l y writing a check.

Seems like this should be a required class needed to graduate high school. Along with other common sense things like how to boil water or change a windshield wiper (etc).

They want to avoid paying extra fees, but they also want to avoid the inconvenience of gate checking their bag (for free I’ll add) at the expense of those that did pay some extra fees or have status for earlier boarding. They can pound sand. 

Actually I don’t thinks that’s the target anymore. The 911 might have been the target for the previous generation AMG GT; but I think the new one is aimed more at Aston Martin and Bentley. MB made it less of an outright sports car and more of a grand tourer. The new GT is really an SL coupe, they just aren’t branding…

Yeah, sure, I’ll get off your lawn but before I go, I will point out that I wasn’t trying to convince you to force yourself to do things that don’t fit your “lifestyle,” I was just providing some facts since there are many out there who can benefit from some practical information about owning EVs.

You lose interest when a reviewer is honest about how the review happened?

This is standard industry practice. Every new car review you’ve read happens this way, only we disclose it up front.

In my experience the only journalist I’ve seen on a press trip who paid for airfare and lodging was WSJ. We don’t have WSJ money, so we accept Audi’s invitation and disclose it up front.

I didn’t love…

Yea, the EV deals are pretty wild. Most of them roll in the fed credit, but will end up with $12k+ off MSRP on the lease. I am a fan of the no money down leases, but that is just me. It is crazy that you can get a brand new car for essentially the price of a kind of used one (that 10-15k range) and then have three…

Maybe some engineer realized it, but most of the Tesla employees left barely even have object permanence, and Elon immediately fired the one engineer who pointed out the issue.

That movie is a gem.

Take a star sir!

Classic.

I know how this all went down:

You’re all missing the point. It’s not “so easy a child could do it,” he’s laying the groundwork for his child labor initiatives...
