Oh thanks for that link. It’s nice that my Porsche and Mazda aren’t on that list. My 718 Cayman isn’t internet connected but my Mazda is. First thing I did after buying the Mazda was to download the app and deselect third party sharing. Anyone else who has an internet connected car should do the same.

My Mazda is internet connected, but I disabled 3rd party sharing from the app, which was easy to find. I wager that the majority of people who have their information taken without their knowledge aren’t going in to those apps to deselect 3rd party sharing, or even downloaded the app to begin with. I also assume that…

Porsches:

This seems like a very legitimate, 100% certainty, without a shadow of a doubt suicide.

Did you dislocate your shoulder? Because you’re reaching pretty hard here to try to make this comparison. The only thing these cars in question have in common is that they have 4 wheels and power in the 4 digits. Modern Porsches are notoriously easy to drive fast, which is the complete opposite of their old race cars…

I love driving. The act of driving. But I feel like the car I drive directly affects how I feel about driving. Like, I wouldn’t enjoy driving a 15 pax van or pickup truck, you know?

I have a Mazda CX-50 CUV, a disposable appliance car, which depreciates more than the Porsche 718 Cayman S, but not as much as your EV, as my daily. I drive my Porsche about 400-800 miles a month on average. In the warmer months, I track it. I CAN daily it because it’s practical. And I put more miles on it during the…

That new logo looks like Mitsubishi’s and I hate it.

Good for you. Now your car is fully depreciated. I hope you owe nothing on it. I like buying cars that hold their value. Which is why I bought a Porsche sportscar. I also buy cars to drive. Buying cars that hold value and to drive can and do co-exist. Most cars aren’t investments, but they do hold a certain monetary…

God that front end is ugly. Looks like a person with eyes too close together.

I agree with everything you just said. If I were to take the word ‘bankruptcy’ literally for this QOTD, then my answer would be none. No conglomerate will go bankrupt, but smaller independent EV companies likely will. A lot of sub brands, I feel, are in trouble today. The market is so competitive with samesy-like…

That’s what I meant. Nearly every car company is owned by a larger conglomerate. We can get pedantic about this, but for the sake of this QOTD, a specific brand closing down = bankrupt. Yes, I know that’s not bankruptcy it means. No, I don’t care.

Cope harder.

Cope harder.

Jaguar. They keep selling less and less every year and there’s no compelling reason to buy anything they offer because the competition does it better. Furthermore, their shortsightedness to go fully EV by 2025 is doomed to failure, if today’s EV market crash is anything to by.

A lot of people have a lot of money, despite these people doing things you hate.
