Yeah this story is pretty lazy or obtuse about the mileage issue. Who is going to be a successful Lyft/Uber driver with a 10k mile per year limit??

Yay! Math time!

1) How much money down do those lease options require?
2) Full coverage for rideshare drivers in CA is ~$280 per month
3) Last year, Lyft estimates that its drivers drive ~140-200 miles per day. Assume 5 work days a week, that could come out to 1,000 per week, or 50,000 per year. Mach-E forums from a few…

He says he’s a doctor but I don’t see any markings, white coat or stethoscope so I think it’s only fair for someone to pull a gun on him, force him to the ground, make him show his medical board credentials and his med school degree for good measure because everyone knows what’s going on in the US with people…

1. I agree

And when they get caught it’s going to be soo much worse for them. It goes from a moving violation to filing a false police report, obstruction of justice, likely attempted insurance fraud, all manner of charges.

what are the odds that this wasn’t theft?

Prius is the right call here, particularly given that it’ll be doing a lot of city driving, where the hybrid really shines.

Hearing Elon claim that his cars are “appreciating assets” further solidifies his standing as a self absorbed, narcissistic A-hole. His ability to make idiotic statements and pass them off as the intelligent insight of a genius is unparalleled in the automotive arena.

Doesn’t matter. They can turn it over to the city or state or feds and then get an “unrelated” cash award next year for general excellence in policing or as a pay increase.

Can we make some warning signs to post at airports to warn about the risk of police to you?

You probably know this by now, and it wont probably wont prevent a search in the long run, but never consent to a search even if you think you have nothing to hide.  Glad you were let off.

Civil asset forfeiture laws all need to be appended to where no money at all is kept without a conviction, fuck this pathetic random suspicion bullshit, no conviction, no free cash. If not enough proof for an arrest and charges from suspicion then there shouldn’t even be a confiscation in the first place.

Get a Bolt. You’ve already got 2 other cars to do other things. Need a HomeDepot run? Dakota. Need a road trip with multiple fuel stops? Elantra.

Maverick and Miata. 

“They absolutely cannot afford a Mach E”

They kept designing and building their own products with Geely financial backing, but this is a 100% Geely creation with a Volvo badge on it.

Volvo hasn’t been ‘traditional Volvo’ for a long time now. Volvo got bought by Geely a dozen years ago.

Well, the one for me would be the dual motor at 46K, but over say a Model Y or Mach E, how is this competitive without the tax credit?
