1st Gear: “As long as BMW is out here trying, we can all take some inspiration from that. Why buy a dumb Tesla, in any case, when you could buy a classic?” Trying to trigger the Tesla faithful I see. Even though I’m not a Tesla fan, I’ll bite: Why buy a Tesla? Because the Model 3 with a range of 275 miles is currently…

ROFL you really think consumers’ opinion of a CEO affects their purchasing decisions? It’s likely dead last behind (1) price (2) performance (3) comfort (4) design (5) trunk space (6) reliability. Guess what? Model 3 is getting yet another price drop by the end of summer - that’s under $30K after incentives! People…

As a parent of a teen daughter, I’m going to extrapolate a different conclusion that I believe she meant to say. It’s not so much anything innate about the “feminine mind” that’s any different than the masculine male mind as I believe there are a large number of people from both genders who lack the “kill mode”…

If only.

Your politicians are at the top of the Capitalist chain.....no way it ends

1st Gear: this level of elegance in design is what Jaguar needs to resurrect.

She was thiiiiis close to getting it right. Women are discouraged from being competitive, because they’re “supposed” to be cute and nurturing and soft-spoken, not ready to rip your head off on the track. It’s purely societal, not some kind of biological thing.

She didn’t say it was exclusive to the ‘male mind’, she admits she had the mentality to enter “kill mode” I think in the same sentence, but there may be something to this - we cannot escape our primitive hormonal structures, not all men are “ALPHA” (hate that term, but lets use it here), but maybe 25% are, so you have…

Yeah surprisingly, I’ve had the owner of a restaurant chase me out the door to ask about it. (he ended up picking one up to for an even better deal at the time) and the other day in a parking lot, someone pulled over just to ask me about it lol. That being said I have never seen another one in the wild yet. (other…

I heard that there was no A/C and the heat drove him insane

There are 596 showing near me, but I did a couple of enquiries and all three had $10k DMU.

My guess is standard-issue road rage, but drugs could certainly be involved too.

the stock market is a barrel of fucking monkeys.  we really really dont need it.  all the money and numbers are made up. 

As bullish as I am for the electric future, I suspect Toyota is making the smart move right now with extended range electrics like the Rav4 prime and the Prius Prime, rather than going full-blown electric like Ford’s Mustang Mach-e. These vehicles allow you to run electric day in and day out, but move to gas when a…

^ A good description of Diess’ hero-worship of Elon Musk.

“All of this worries me, because I like Volvo, the Volvo that was happy to toil away out of the spotlight.” ROFL really? You are essentially saying, “Volvo I want you to faill financially AGAIN, because selling low volume cars worked so well the last time around.”

Ford dealers right now

“I, for one, look forward to being killed by an errant 5-tonne monster with a hood line taller than my roof.”

Sweden sales, April 2023. EVs.

I’m no Elon fan, but Jalop deff has an axe for him. 1 of 1 = 100% market share. Off course they will loose the share game as more EVs come on board. That a good thing. That means competition is working. But lets not kid ourselves, Tesla is still the lion’s share and is beating the volume/profit game.

The bias for which…
