Made in China. It’s a Trump.

China granted Trademark protections, not Patents (very different things) to multiple Trump brand names, most owned by Donald Trump’s business interests (run by his sons, that he’s still drawing money from), the rest owned by Ivanka Trump (who is sort of a government employee but there’s no indication she’s divested…

I think the unconventional dash layout is going to be a turn-off for mainstream buyers.

You’re making a great deal of sense with your measured, reasonable arguments. That is entirely unacceptable behavior on this forum.

That’s crazy talk! Forward thinking for a large corporation? We need more profits today at the expense of tomorrow!

With Trump Co gutting OSHA, America isn’t exactly the safest for worker these days. Safer perhaps.

I’m not sure how desirable the fanboys think it will be, but I think it will be very competitive with other cars in the same price range. It’s a great second car for a 2 car household that has dedicated, preferably covered parking. For that market (which is pretty large) it’s somewhat better than a conventional ICE.

the chinese electric automakers have one major advantage over america in that their government believes in a little something called ‘global warming’

Because both electric and self-driving cars are going to require strong manipulation of the economy and regulatory frameworks, China is going to figure out the electric self-driving car well before the US.

1st gear: China can have a technical rival to the Tesla Model 3. However what they don’t have is a brand. And THAT is what sells Teslas.

If I was an auto executive here, I’d be looking to shrink my production footprint, review my overhead, and keep looking for ways to further share vehicle platforms. I’d also be using as much extra profit as I can to pay for expended capital investment quickly as that extra profit is going to dry up soon. I think…

Or if the USPS would have bought a electric vehicle to replace their fleet. Now all of a sudden you have chargers in EVERY city paid for by us. If the government were really serious about electric vehicles and their proliferation they would support that and upgrades to the grid/power stations.

I love how shamelessly Dodge ripped off Lexus’s champagne glass demo from 4 years prior.

True. But at least it seemed like they were trying.

Beep beep! It’s Celica Man’s favorite One True Celica, the 1989 All-Trac Turbo. FWOOM!

How hard could it be? How about most of Seoul getting destroyed or heavily damaged from conventional artillery as well as biological attack? Forget the nukes, NK will be able to screw shit up before we can eliminate that threat. Jesus, where are the SK protests?

For the love of God, why? I’ve been to war. There is nothing good or glorious about it. Yet Trump has to wave his dick around, which will only get a lot of good people killed. He already dropped a MOAB in the middle of a diplomatic crisis with Russia, signaling that he will go all the way up to using nuclear weapons,…

Ironic that people voted for Trump so Hillary “wouldn’t start WW3" as Trump proceeds to start WW3.
