I don’t think he knows what situational awareness means, in the sense that it’s used in the human factors literature.

I’ve read accounts of what happened that night in the newsroom. They went to great lengths to verify those details for the hedline.

2019 WRX and I consistently get 22 to 26 mpg. I once got 32 (seriously) but that was on a long highway trip with cruise.

Best comment.

On our Tahoe, there are memory settings saved by pressing a number on the left side of the door, so it’s fob agnostic.

Help me out Ratman. Are you saying that Tesla is concerned about the optics of selling a cheaper car?

That’s really about the buying power of a dollar.

This isn’t directly related but it’s somewhat related. Does Tesla have the legacy workforce that a lot of manufacturers have? The positive of design it while you build it is you can make changes in real time or over-the-air if you need to.

Ha!

Depends on what butt load means to you. You can get a really well-made bike in the $600 range, depending on where you live, but you can get a really good used bike for much less. Take it to a bike shop and tell them to tune it up, set it up, and you’ll not worry about nicking the paint.

This is absolutely true, anecdotally at least. The local bike shop we frequent (there are many) cannot keep stocked. Supply chain issues? Perhaps, but it’s driven by demand for even higher-end bikes. They can’t sell them fast enough.

That’s actually not a bad point. Walmart will pretty much take anything back, well past the date it should be taken back. Dislike the idea of them filling up landfills with this junk. Maybe the frames could be used for something else. Razor blades?

I’m guessing so does Sirius/XM ...

A friend of our family was a car dealer back in the 1980s, and he used to tell me how he’d have to explain to these little old ladies that their Chrysler New Yorker wasn’t worth anything when they’d bring it in to trade.

... unless you’re sight or hearing impaired. Good joke though.

I didn’t say my two purchases would “literally” move the market. That would be idiotic. 

Your cars didn’t move anyone’s needle, your money is statistically meaningless ...

Also, I don’t doubt that the WRX is possibly in trouble in the future. I think some of those design changes are likely to accelerate that. I’m not arguing with you on that. Most younger drivers don’t like to drive, period. Not to mention a stick shift. And I can only buy so many cars before I’m dead, right?

So my point, which I guess I wasn’t making clearly, was that car markers do respond to people buying new cars and small manufacturers have a different calculation on that than larger car makers. Subaru is very, very small.
