Seating fees, just like every other airline? Just like every other overpriced airline? Yeah, that keep the customers coming back for more.

The linked video breaks into advertisements every 5 seconds.  Maddening.

We came close.  Changed my mind just over two years ago, when the madness started.  

Great. I have a years-old prediction that just that would happen, and some established car company would buy rights to the battery/chassis platform or outright buy what’s left of Tesla.  

That this is GM attempting this at all, regardless of model, makes me worry.  And you should too.

Yeah, and? Diesel fueled cars won Le Mans as well, now all of those car companies are moving away and going full EV.  Take a hint Toyota, we move forward, not backwards.

Time for a refresh of EPA and DOT regs that allow manufacturers to build large and overweight vehicles.  I believe even the IRS has something on the books about heavy vehicle depreciation...not commercial trucks, but mass produced consumer suvs and pick ups.  That needs to go as well.  The gas guzzler tax needs to

California doesn’t have a rust problem. Most of those inspections were born in northern or eastern states that have corrosion issues, truly creating cars that may snap into two pieces at any moment.

They won’t.  The global automotive manufacturing market has made the decision.  They’re going EV.  Either compete or go extinct. 

If the prototype rolling shell is available for sale after the cancellation of the roadster product, I’ll offer him $20 for it.

They now have the 2025 agenda.  It’s the country-ending, nuclear option of legislation. 

Could have stopped the story right there. 

Anything that dissipates energy helped in the matter.

The AAMVA has resistance to the matter? Follow the money. Who is paying them to take this position and what do they have to loose? Always follow the money if you’re looking for the right and honest answer.

So killing all tax credits, subsidies, special favors, etc to the oil industry is also on the table?

I know a good cliff and the future location for a nuclear weapons test.  

No, you’re not. The situation of not testing every vehicle sold for operations on public highways effectively creates a ‘some people are above the law’ situation and don’t have to comply with regulations. This is a situation where the NHTSA needs to take a firm hand.  No test results, no clearance to sell.

So who keeps the NHTSA‘s budget artificially low so they can’t test every car?  More special interests and lobbying.  

The one down the block, in a suburb of Los Angeles, is quite empty.  Large populations tend to have large sales numbers.

And the Republicans.
