You’re welcome.

I have spoken

Why is keeping your current old cars running longer never a discussion with these guys? I have 3 vehicles in my family and even the newest is already 10 years old. Do I want a new one? Maybe. Do I need a new one? Of course not.

Ideology without the very basic financial acumen and economic common sense.

You said it already, the cat bus from Totoro. There will never be another anime vehicle as original as this.

Enough to shorten a CSI episode by 15 minutes.

You have wholly earned your star.

Have trouble sliding rubber hose over barb fitting? A drop of dish soap will do.

This is what Lucid should have built from the beginning. I rarely see S-Class or 7 series anymore, but plenty of Range Rovers, Escalades, Cayennes or any unreasonably expensive SUVs. Heck, I saw 2 R1S and 1 Urus just this past week.

Have you seen the number of $100k SUVs on the road? 

Because you’re not a true Jalop

With all the rampant crimes in SF, I’m surprised no crooks targeted these autonomous vehicles. I guess a stolen LIDAR isn’t worth much on eBay or Craigslist.

Unrelated topic, I still say we need a $1000 bill.

Anyone wants to take a wager now on how much this car will fetch 20 years later?

For those of you who haven’t watched, this is the back story of that new Stratos.

how bad things are at the present for pretty much everyone that isn’t Tesla, Rivian or Lucid

Fridge is offended.

I really like the tech Lucid has developed, even watched some of their nerdy and lengthy videos in full. However, the lowest available trim - Pure - is still $90k, which really priced themselves out of the demographic who truly appreciates the nerdy stuff.

Exactly, that’s the extra burn, they are quicker than the works team
