Only in the USA, perfect for January 2025.

Surveys / polls.

That’s definitely one of the reasons, but the other reason is probably that their cars are now 6+ years old and fucking old now interior or exterior wise.

Record profits, but we promised shareholders we’d cut some costs so… sorry Bob, you’re out a a job.

This is the other car in Back to the Future that you could actually live with. Nice Price

Joe Brumm has really kept his head here. The pressure for more content from around the world must be immense, but they recognise the need for quality over quantity.

Everyone should watch Bluey. Kids, parents, adults with no kids, I mean EVERYONE.

You do realize you can’t see yourself when you’re using it so “what you look like” only matters to people are who insecure I guess?

Why waste valuable space on decadent toilet when ship is already in water? Make deuce over side of ship, comrade!

Man, Cracker Barrel is just sitting on a goldmine here. All they need to do is add 30 or so chargers per location and they’d be the gold standard of interstate charging.

It is 100% opposed to the smooth panel/fastner free aesthetic of the vehicle and a weak point to collect wet salt and gunk from shoes, and causes a visible dimple in the otherwise flat pedal plate. If it came

Every time I read something about the cybertruck, the Canyonero song plays in my head. 

14,000 people are losing their jobs so Musk can be a racist on Twitter and ask Tesla for a $55 billion bonus.

I nearly spat out my coffee reading this bit:

Basically, everyone who really wanted an EV now has one, and the stuff that is being offered right now, especially by Tesla, is not resonating with less affluent and more skeptical consumers. Surely the Robotaxi will fix this.”

This is a great example of an immature organization trying to build an autocratic Ceo’s back of an envelope sketch and failing. It’s like the automotive equivalent of the artificial islands in Dubai that are turning into an ecological disaster or all the urban hellscape pipe dreams like The Line or Charlie Munger's
