Are Porsche really taking on Tesla?

Tesla will deliver over 500,000 units in CY2020. While that is admittedly a fraction of the ~10 million units that Toyota or VW produce annually, I propose that it meets the qualification of “mass market.”

I never liked the Pandemic.  The Pandemic Wagon, on the other hand, is stunning.

Tesla is well on its way to becoming a mass-market car maker. Et tu, Porsche?

Mini owner here, totally agreed.  These things (convertible or not) are strictly tw0-seaters.

My gut tells me that the Wrangler has absorbed much of the US convertible market over the past couple of decades.

Minis remain pretty expensive...

Watkins Glen: in the exact middle of fuck-all nowhere.

Air travel from the U.S. is down because other countries won’t let us in.

I never understood the purpose of fashion stores in airports.

Make it MUCH more difficult to obtain a driver license...

The greatest threat to Formula 1...

If you want a Tesla in Michigan, you have to buy it out of state and then register it here.

Would a spinoff allow GM to escape some legacy dealership obligations?
