You sound like you’ve never driven one. They’re ridiculously easy to drive, very smooth and not jumpy. 

This is a Corvette, not a Mustang. These will be doing the speed limit on their way to the club house for dinner in the gated community.

You’re thinking of the supercharged C7 Z06, of which early production units had cooling issues on track (it was addressed with changes later in the production run). The C8 has not exhibited the same cooling problems at all. In fact, people have remarked on how “cold” the C8 Z06 coolant remains even when pushing it…

IIRC that was an issue on the initial model run of the prior Vette.

Your reminder that Tesla employs over 140,000 people, of which just (hopefully) one is a nutcase nazi.

So everyone who bought a Tesla for the last 7 years should have bought a gas guzzler instead. Got it.

I don’t need to justify the car I drive to anyone. Blow me.

“If we could only buy cars from CEOs where were great people, there wouldn’t be much to buy.”

I think the article is a bit unkind to people with these stickers. There’s a difference between a CEO not being great on a personal level and the CEO being a Nazi hell-bent on destroying a free and democratic state. If we could only buy cars from CEOs where were great people, there wouldn’t be much to buy.

I get that “it’s not a Mustang because it doesn’t have two doors”, sure. But to actively decide to not buy an objectively good vehicle based on the name doesn’t compute for me. If you hate the car, just hate the car. If it’s a bad vehicle, be pissed at Ford for making a bad vehicle. But, this is just a name.

Best advice: Make the wife ditch the Ranger for a minivan or an Explorer and keep your fun family car. Honestly, minivans are the only good vehicles for taking dogs on road trips. Their crates fit comfortably in the rear and they can freely walk around the back if you want to let them out.

First and foremost: not judging, you do you.

Paying interest on a depreciating asset doesn’t seem to be a good strategy.

This was true when money was free. Now the going rate for a loan is 7+% and its closer to being a wash unless the OEM is subsidizing, which they often do when sales are slipping like with the Mach-E

“If you drive the car, you’ll be convinced”

That’s actually a good question. Let’s take the wagon full of smartphones as an example.

Nothing needs to be ‘hack-proof’; and to be honest, nothing can be ‘hack-proof’.

The V2x infrastructure isn’t secured by user passwords.

If you paid $70,000 for a Kia EV6, you deserve whatever financial hardship comes your way.  

Hertz is doing something stupid and having it blow up on social media is as predictable as a rainy day in Seattle
