Proof that anything lowered with just a touch of aero could turn a Duck into a Swan.

My wallet tells me it’s going to take more than dropping the price of a $150,000 car to a mere 135 grand to win me over.

“Sewell says that Kirby’s wife’s adult content “had become an issue at work” which violated the company’s “standards of professional conduct.””

What a cluster… so basically one of the other employees recognized his wife from a picture on his desk, and decided to distribute her adult content at work and with colleagues? Seems to me like that would have been the obvious person to terminate, not Mr. Kirby.

“The subordinate took screenshots and showed them to co-workers and managers, the decision said.”

I’m going to say that the “standards of professional conduct” were violated by the other employees. As always, fuck dealerships.

And I don’t get the appeal of stuff like F1. Seems boring.

Not sure how you can watch the Freedom 500, which at it’s core is just oval racing with very loose rules, and not understand why NASCAR is the biggest motorsport in the US.

Why not under a flip-up license plate at the middle of the rear bumper like ye olden tymes?

Why even reinvent the wheel? The charging ports should all be either on the rear fender left or rear fender right of a vehicle is what most users are already used to. I understand it’s new and exciting, but we still need to develop a standard from all the automakers.

How about we deal with the underinsured knobs who think “cutting up” is fun first? The size of our firetrucks is hardly cracking the the top 1000 on my list of concerns with our roadways 

Disagree.

These are the ONLY time I side with Tesla. Glad the guy didn’t die or anything, but this is his fault 🤣

First Gear: This is a question for the Accountants in the audience. It seems damn near impossible to actually spend $100,000 more than the sale price on these vehicles to actually build them. No one on earth would greenlight something that ridiculous.  What weird accounting wizardry is going on to come up with that…

So much of this comes off as anti-Tesla, but why is it Tesla’s fault that Ford and Kia are continuing to sell cars with outdated charge ports? I disagree with so much of this article.

The median individual salary in the US in 2022 (the latest I can find) was $40,500. Yet the median price of a (new) car in 2022 was $48,500. Isn’t this “Bah Gawd, the car is more than yearly income!” sitchy happening pretty much.....everywhere....for most folks?

The government didn’t mandate that Ford kill off all of its affordable offerings. Ford was simply following the cynical “build less, charge more” pricing model that a number of car manufacturers thought they could get away with in the wake of pandemic supply chain issues.

Why bother writing an article at all then? “Taycan CT looks better without cladding. Google it and see for yourself!”

Dude you absolutely should have included this in the article, lol. Obviously relevent, smh trying to shame people like “just google it”. 

I can google what it looks like without the cladding too.  Why ‘write’ this piece at all, given your logic?

Not everything needs to innovate to be entertaining. People enjoy all kinds of media that’s basically the same thing over and over again. ACDC, Halo, most sitcoms on TV, the new stuff is more of the same. I get enjoyment out of TGT because it’s more interactions between the trio and different cars. They don’t need to…
