I asked my cousin, who’s in law enforcement, about how they respond to windows being highly tinted during a traffic stop.

I took the picture grabbing lunch in Odenton, just off Ft. Meade. But without a front plate (which I didn’t get a look at the rear), this could be PA/VA registered?

FV=PV (1+r)^n

I give you this stunning POS in Neon Green! Anne Arundel County, MD...

I worry about the Economists saying that tariffs at higher levels are appropriate. It’s simple Economics of Taxation, a 200 level class.

Doesn’t cover past OR future market inefficiencies when it comes to product.

This is going to platform share with a mid-size sedan alongside a “as-of-yet-unnamed model”. Since they are maximizing their motor size (minimizing really, trying for the smallest components possible), scaling for four or more models is a huge cost efficiency.

If someone didn’t repost their content, would we even know CR still existed?

Oh, shorting some stocks in those sectors would make a bundle. Think 2008 CDOs or MBS but getting you depression level results.

I mean, Trump is running on the promise to deport 20 Million immigrants. Wanna see the economy tank in health care, services and construction? Go with that plan.

Oh, you know Storrow Drive in Boston... the daily dumbass who doesn’t understand how tall their truck is?

The expected returns for electrification are going to be long and lagging based on the rules/laws that have been in place to govern adoption. The issue really comes down to having spent billions of their money along with Government grants that aren’t resulting in sales.

The Unions in Germany might want to be careful about work stoppages. VW would welcome the opportunity to sell through the over-capacity from production and not pay wages. Germany has strong worker protections but at this particular moment, VW has a business reason to allow a strike, cost savings.

Maryland has a “Child in Need of Services” system (CINS) that doesn’t deliver the services these kids require. The current thinking in the State Legislature is to treat people under 18, and they want to make it 24, as not having fully formed reasoning centers and therefore aren’t responsible for their actions.

The outcome of the US election will dictate the course of tariffs. That is the only factor currently stopping BYD, Tata, or Geely from bringing in models like Volvo’s XC30, cost and manufactured locale.

BYD is the bigger issue for small car development in Germany/Europe. They are importing at such a high volume but low cost that even with tariffs they are selling product under VW’s costs.

Germany still hasn’t shaken out the electricity issue brought about by Russian sanctions. The costs have increased by 21% in the last month, still 14% lower than this time last year. Going too fast in EV wasn’t just a business mishap, but the factors around it has made adoption in Europe grind to a trickle.

They ask Elon about the base price? /s

The configurator has a dark option (the above is the bright) that looks much better. The center line has four sensors that appear to be parking sensors along with two radar sensors for the cruise control.

Pulled this from the AM website... From this angle it’s not quite as offensive? There’s possibly two radiators needing to be feed along with the turbo, cameras, sensors and whatever bumper structure hidden.
