“The value of Tesla’s brand dropped for a second straight year”

Imagine driving a Modern car all your life and thinking you’re actually a good driver. These cars are closer to race cars than road cars. They’re fine to drive normally, but you better know its characteristics before pushing it.

Or call people that are rescuing children “pedos”. 

Not that General Motors is a innocent lil’ angel of a company... but I’m pretty glad we chose to get an Equinox EV instead of a Tesla. In fact- I’d say Elon just helped GM and probably anyone else who makes an EV a lot. 

If I do this, I will probably use an IPA solution as well, but that is for drinking while I work.

Really hope the Premier of Ontario follows through with his threat and just turns off the lights on the eastern seaboard.

That’ll show those crooks for being in (checks notes) Donald Trump’s US, Canada, and Mexico Trade Agreement!

Remember when the price of a 2x4 hit close to $10 during the pandemic? Different reasons now, but get ready for that to be the new normal.

Same. Since November I’ve done everything I can to avoid watching the news as well as being more selective about what I read, simply for my own mental health.

We really should take a look at how much shit we buy though. Like fuck Trump and everything he stands for, but also, maybe we need to temper our consumerism just a tad.

Now they have pivoted to “yes things will get more expensive for a little bit but that’s only until US manufacturing catches up.”

Interesting that in no way did I mention death. But given that I mentioned them- meaning whoever trump appoints to do his bullshit- would come for your family first- then you I guess made the next logical conclusion: That trump is exactly what I suggested. Maybe you should think more.

The biggest problem with that is the people who wanted this are too stupid to know why things are more expensive. They’ll be blaming Biden/Dems for the next 4 years for anything that goes wrong while praising Trump for anything that goes well in their life. Any real correlation or causation will be completely ignored. 

You used to get these with the WRX like 15 years ago

Sorry but there’s no way the federal government is spending 120 BILLION on DEI initiatives.

I am not a fancy expert on how the government works, but some random, made-up department can’t unilaterally make budgetary changes, correct?  Doesn’t the House still control the purse strings, as the old saying goes?  Which isn’t to say the House wouldn’t go along with this, given its current makeup, but still. 

Earlier Leon claimed he was delaying Deliveries to use CyberTrucks for the Starlink he is sending to the fire areas

“I think the initial fanfare, excitement and hype for the Cybertruck has quickly evaporated.”

One cannot discontinue a model that was never actually built. 

If anyone wants to see a prime example of the concept of “sunk cost fallacy” in action, look no further than a Cybertruck owners forum.  Those folks have convinced themselves that these things continue to be in very high demand and will rival something like the Tacoma in terms of retaining value.
