yep, he just doesn’t like it and is incorrectly trying to blame it on something.

But imagine how much sleeker the truck is with that $2k wax job....

I’m not sure what he’s complaining about here.

Why buy a wagon when there’s an SUV that offers everything a wagon does and more? SUVs can tow, offer much more ground clearance, they have several inches more suspension travel for better rides. And, they can have side impact safety without needing the door sill to come up to your chin.

Look at how the general public takes care of their cars.  A lot of the QC issues are paint quality and panel gap issues - things many buyers either don’t notice or don’t care about.  Tesla has QC issues that would bother buyers (shit not working or falling off the car), but my guess is the frequency of those issues is…

The only issues is the touch buttons but i’m fine with that so it doesn’t bother me. The N are too small and ugly. 

I get the point you’re trying to make — that maintenance and repair are submerged costs in the owner experience and rarely accounted for when considering the appreciating value of a home.

I will happily buy your house for less than you paid for it.  I will do it today.

Its sitting right in front of them. Take the CrossTrek, add WRX drivetrain, and revive the Gravel Express name. Subaru ITS SITTING RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOU.

Agreed.  Really painful to read, at times.  Some paragraphs flow nicely.  And then the next one has 7 sentences that all have 5 or 6 commas in them, hiding the intent of the sentence until the final word.  As if Jamie thinks he needs to write in this complicated a manner to sound smart, or something.  Brutal.

My brain hurts in trying to read this.

I’m not necessarily defending Tesla here, but the quality control and fit & finish of just about every auto has gone into the toilet for this year. Just like new home builds. Just like most consumer electronics. Just like most restaurant quality control. Just like….

Uhm... it doesn’t sound like they are pausing production...

So this is partially incorrect, Ford is not pausing hybrid production, rather they’ve just already sold out of the 2022 MY production already. They stopped accepting orders for hybrids in November (I forgot what day, but it was well publicized). Thursday is the day that Ford updates people with orders and they…

Well, I think Jason has done equally as much for car culture.

“Than damn near anybody” is obviously hyperobole, but you get my point. I have friends who don’t care about cars at all sending me Doug videos, and that’s just awesome.

The hybrid wasn’t supposed to be part of dealer stock anywhere, so it showing up in your search is either dealers coding it wrong or something odd happened…I guess they could have been orders whose buyer backed out. 

Doug has done more for car culture than damn near anybody. He’s gotten people who had previously had no interest in cars excited. And that has value.

You’re confusing home charging with fast charging here. Unless you’re a millionaire sitting on top of a electrical sub-station, you won’t be putting in a DC charger.

Your motivation for this comment is hilarious, because the same motivation is the reason for every “news” network’s incredibly long list or corrections, retractions, and defamation lawsuit settlements.

And lezbehonest nobody takes OAN seriously.

Consumer Reports data is the worst available. They use their subscriber base for their results and it’s a predicted score where everything is weighed evenly. So, an infotainment screen problem weighs the same as a transmission going out in reliability rankings. Their surveys are absolute garbage, and the results are…
