I can predict Musk tweeting:
so the FTC won’t let me be
or let me be me, so let me see
they try to shut me down on NHTSA
but it feels so empty without me
EVs are a bad value proposition for USA: huge country, badly designed cities, bad urban public transport (except some big cities), no high speed trains: means you’re gonna have long commutes with your car and and EVs, today, just do not match with your lifestyle, apart from some urban areas here and there.
Maybe with…
400 miles, 10 minutes recharging to 80%.
Until that, 95 octane for me.
My father is considering this car instead of the new Tucson because of the presence of the physical buttons.
4th Gear: very sad news, indeed.
As an Italian, I still have the “Centro Storico Fiat” YT Channel.
Check it out, lots of interesting stuff.
Won’t a charge this massive put a strain on the lifespan of the battery itself?
The interior seriously sucks. Just like in the new Golf. And in the ID3.
Thanks Dieselgate.
Still remember what a Porsche salesman told me at the unveiling of the 991 Targa in a local dealer: “we’re opening and closing the roof every 30 minutes... let’s hope it doesn’t break in front of the clients, it happened to us already”.

You’ve left out the best of them all:
I bought a seven months old 987S Boxster in late october 2008 (had a great bargain, almost 30% discount; after Lehmann Bros. went broke, the biggest Milan Porsche dealer was selling zero cars).
Drove it until march 2017 as a daily driver (I was born in 1980, my back allowed that, not so now). Drove over 110,000 miles…
The RV version (Overlander) is perfect.
They officially filed for bankruptcy.
“Cuneo” = “wedge” in Italian.
Cuneo is also a wedge-shaped city in Piedmont. But we digress...

You HAVE to watch these documentaries, with interviews to all the people who made this possible (first video) and to the designer of the factory itself (second video).
They’re all subbed in English.
Just open this NYT article, linked in Erik Shilling’s post.

I’d say that the onslaught has materialized enough:
“Elmhurst, a 545-bed public hospital in Queens, has begun transferring patients not suffering from coronavirus to other hospitals as it moves toward becoming dedicated entirely to the outbreak.. Doctors and nurses have struggled to make do with a few dozen…
In a way, it does worth the money. It serves a purpose (be entertained, show off, whatever). And in this age, it will almost not suffer depreciation! Which is a nice side bonus. Don’t assume rich people are dumb. Some are, but those don’t last long. The majority is definitely not.
