Every company bases the cost of their products or services off of what they think the maximum amount will be that people are willing pay. Manufacturers and dealerships got used to higher prices during and after COVID and want to hold onto those fat profit margins. Of course now they struggle to understand why demand…

Car radios have had a display since they were invented. Whether analog, digital, or touch screen, the driver needs to look at it to operate it.

I used to think avoiding the conversation to prevent conservatives from getting into their feelings was the best approach, however Jan 6 changed my mind. 

“people like touchscreens in general, but they don’t like being forced to use them when their attention is required elsewhere.”

Complaining about the lack of physical buttons reminds me of people who preferred blackberrys over iPhones and android. There is a learning curve, but the future is clear.

No one is immediately jumping to this, however it is a fair assumption, and indicative of a larger problem in the U.S.

You could have stopped after “owners.”

Except… a majority of gun owners are conservative. 

Gun proponents love to use the 2.5 million metric, except they don’t finish the story. The ending of the story is that CDC rescinded the report because of flaws in the report.

So it’s now going to look the lousy android UIs from early 2000’s phones?

A/C may have been a bad example, however the infotainment system having deeper integration into the internal workings of the car is a good thing and can provide much more capability. 

I’m not saying that physical controls need to be removed. Having that deeper integration can add automation capabilities that haven’t been previously possible. 

If any of the manufacturers could have done better by now, they would have. The fact that CP and AA have existed for nearly a decade and are still unrivaled speaks volumes.

I trust real estate agents as much as I trust used car salesmen. Now add that the real estate agent is based in FL.

It sounds like Stellantis wasn’t able to deliver what was needed for entry and is now claiming bias.

My guess is that rental companies go with the cheapest bidder when it comes to repairs, and if the Tesla service center is their only option, it’s going to pricy and eat into their profits.

I think you may have misunderstood my post. It’s odd that they would single out a single product for these issues when the entire segment has the same problem. If this article was solely about the F-150 and increased risk to pedestrians my stance would be the same - it’s not just the F-150, it’s every truck and and…

I do find it odd that they are calling out the cybertruck for the same issues that every other truck in the U.S. made in the last decade or more have.
