I think this is a tough sell. Fuel economy isn’t so much a factor in this segment, but brand image is. I think they’re hoping the buyers of high-trim-level Grand Cherokee’s will “move up”, but the Jeep brand is fairly class-agnostic and doesn’t provide the “prestige” of a luxury-first name. There’s a reason Lexus

Is now a good time to discuss how butt-ugly these things are? All of the yuppie parents in my town are buying them so I always see them sitting in the carpool line at school. It is hard to believe this car can look so bad and poorly designed when the new Grand Cherokee looks so good.

That is the hard part about confirmation bias, and why it is important for people to recognize it. We all do it to some extent, and the more you can recognize it and question what you hear/say/take in the better. To some degree many commenting on this article probably have their own bias Tham memes as BS, and when we

Each time change is around the corner, some idiots have to find a way to spread misinformation, EV, Climate Change, Vaccine ....etc And you will be surprise how many people eat this type of info without even questioning it. Unbelievable.

General Motors Is Fighting EV Misinformation THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY HELPED SPREAD UNIL A FEW YEARS AGO With a Video Chat Hotline”

To be fair, people that are dumb enough to buy a new GM vehicle are a special case and need extra help with seatbelts.

If only this would work for all the EV-haters that crowd any EV site with statements similar to, “that EV won’t tow my ocean liner halfway across the country like my coal-rolling King Doody pick-em-up truck, so they suck!”

This. Saying Rivian Is Preparing for Money Troubles Ahead” should actually read “Rivian is taking steps to avoid money troubles ahead.”

As the reply always goes, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

I don’t even like Elon Musk, but this article is “journalist brain” at its worst.

Do you have a dryer?

Performance is one aspect, sure, but costs have dramatically reduced over time, and I don’t think you’re considering that. Prices per kWh have fallen almost 90% over the past 11 years. Fairly soon, electric vehicles will be cheaper to buy, cheaper to drive, have better performance, and retain their value more than ICE

Put your order in now for a Ford F-150 Lightning then. They start at $40k (as low as $34k after federal tax credits) but like most cars these days even gas cars, there is a waiting list. Range up to 320 depending on trim.

I’m guessing if you did a survey in 1905 of why people weren’t trading in their horses for the new horseless carriages, you would have gotten similar responses.

They’d be better off taking that money and buying military and humanitarian supplies. $800 million on a limited use vanity plane is not good value for money. If they insist on having something, they’d still be better off going back to the drawing board and designing a modern airframe from the start again.

I’m very much a fan of Disneyland. Specifically Anaheim Disneyland over Florida’s Disney World. But I can see how it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Disneyland is relatively sedate next to the behemoth in Florida. You can do a day trip and stay in L.A. Whereas Disney World is a suffocating environment that begs

Sza has lied about a lot in her career, so I wouldnt be surprised if she used this to get attention. 

Save your money, if you want to donate then donate to the humanitarian charities trying to get people out and food and shelter in. Even when Russia is kicked out, The Ukraine is devastated and will not have an aircraft industry, nor much of anything to fly out, for a long-long time after. They are facing a generation

Are the manufactuers asking dealers to put in L3 chargers? Unless they are expecting to be a destination for customers to charge there isn’t much point for L3 when L2 will more than suffice for charging cars in stock or for service.

Buy something inexpensive! You’re most likely to get in an accident before your break it. Don’t waste $20K on your first car at 16y.
