Musk is facing 21 lawsuits at his various companies. Everything ranging from discrimination to pay issues to a defamation suit by a dude in Texas, Ben Brody, who dipshit called a masquerading Neo-Nazi Street Fighter? (Turns out the gentleman is a Jewish man in California, but Musk loves him some name-calling BS.)

Having had an opportunity to ride in a Cadillac Lyric, the more platform sharing with Honda/Acura is really going to eat into his sales.

Musk is actively diverting resources to other entities and screaming about needing to be “gifted” more shares to hold his interest.

No...

The local Volvo dealer also owns the Subaru joint. Both have had long-term employees in both the Sales and Services sides. 30 years with this particular Volvo location. I like the simplicity of the same person selling me a car, knowing I’m just writing a check and driving away. No finance people screwing around and…

The study used the generic “Our takeaway - if you’re buying a brand new EV - be it a new make or a new model - there’s a higher potential for a battery replacement, but you should expect it to be fully covered by the vehicle warranty.”

It’s their version of 3M wrap... Lexus charges $500 from the factory with that option clicked for Hood, Door handles, and Outside Mirrors.

Why? People need to know which dealers are garbage and which treat people like humans.

I wish you had stories about Stoler as well... I could write books on how that family is borderline criminal.

I give you Sheehy Lexus in Annapolis, MD... Last week my mother went looking for an RX350h and they flat out refused to remove the charge. The reasoning “Well, it’s already on the car!”

Tesla/Musk is a great example of Hot Hand Fallacy where Wall Street (and Kathie Woods in particular) keep telling everyone that the next big thing is happening next week for Tesla.

Use case specific - My employer keeps a few cars around for visiting employees or contractors who need to be in the area for an undefined period of time. Charging on-site and being able to write-down makes this a no brainer for $4500 (US)/yr.

Inflation discussion with any candidate is always influenced by recency bias or they blame someone else for previous decisions that affect people today. The ever-popular Congressperson or President who thinks they control the Federal Reserve’s daily/weekly/monthly choices should not be in office longer.

The wage gains are offset in too many cases by structural cost increases that aren’t keeping ahead of those raises. Insurance is a simple example.

You had me until “Dow closing above 40,000".

Damn it, take your star!

First car was a 1987 Volvo 740 GLE with the odd manual with overdrive button and inter-lock on the shaft for reverse. Dad bought it new and just offered it up in ‘88 when I was legal to drive (We worked out a creative payment system!)

The Polestar 3 version of this platform is more to my liking. No need for the additional row of seats. Unfortunately the wife will kill me after buying an R1T this year.

Neither of your options are EVs, so you already are paying a premium on the tech.
