This is a well-thought out, reasonable, take on a complicated situation.

Tesla is running into a problem that they can’t necessarily control, and that’s the ceiling of available technology relative to the various regulations they have to (and should) follow.

A lot of the innovation was due to the technology either not being available, researched, or scalable, with the expectation that once…

So you’re saying that giving every single car the same type of motor is less narrow than keeping them on the road in all their amazing variety? K.

Why is this even a question? Of course we should take interest in alternative fuels. Almost every cool car ever made runs on an ICE. You think we should just put those away now that manufacturers are jumping ship for electric crossovers?

Saudis in Mercedes? That doesn’t sound right.

That is a bummer. This may cheer you up. MIAs Bad Girls video has a white mercedes in it and these white E36s. And it had very bad Saudi girls so no false advertising...

In much the same way that I watch Kitchen Nightmares and marvel at the fact that restaurant owners will operate in the red for years until they are at the brink of losing their business, their house, their cars and often their family members assets, I dont understand why Tesla is enabled to continue operating this…

this is what happens when the gov interferes with the free market and clueless people think electric (burning coal and storing the energy in a bomb/battery) is cleaner than gas

“ Jesus, why is this so hard?” Because she is from Lithuania which is, if you bothered to look it up, not even on the American continent. I am not sure why you are expecting US cultural norms from someone not even on the same continent or in a similar cultural sphere (which could arguable be the case for someone from…

Or do it and stop giving a shit what offends people. I stopped after years of this pc generation outrage bullshit.

I’m sure he’s going to end up plugging into the grid and powering a whole hospital wing saving it from an evil power outage because his car aircraft carrier levels of energy capacity

I hear Bond discovers the evil plot as he stops for 2 hours at a charging point.

with any luck (and with lots of fuel)

This is our baby, our ‘05 WRX. While I adore my car too, this one holds a special place. After 14 years it’s still my husband’s DD, and for the past 4 years it’s gotten to have extra fun some weekends with us playing in the mud and snow. It’s survived a giant maple landing on it and some random small limbs. Parts may…

15 years with me, and 28 years with my father before that. This one is definitely my forever car.

390k miles and still going strong. 

Mine is my Outback XT for reasons that have as much to do with practically as love. It’s quick (and soon to be even quicker), it’s fun, it’s comfortable, and critically it can pretty much every job I’ll ever need of a car. Recce a rally stage? No problem. Cross country road trip? Twice. Go somewhere with…

I don’t buy anything I don’t intend to keep forever. I grew up with Saabs, and I’ll never get rid of my 900.

My daughter has already claimed it for when she turns 18, so I guess it more or less a forever car for our family. 

It’s only been 5 years now, but I find it hard to imagine ever getting rid of my Jeep. If I do, it’s likely because my bad back simply can’t take the abuse any longer.
