If you think that justifies summary execution by chokehold on a train car, you need to look in the mirror. 

Which justifies killing him?

Beyond the mean-spiritedness, it’s stupid. Their real enemy is the corporation, not some 20-year-old who dared to question the shit these clowns expected to come out of her mouth.

What a bunch of thin-skinned babies. I support their cause, but the idea that the script for a Netflix Addams Family revival is so sacrosanct that the star should be shamed for altering it is stupid. Writers are important, but bad writing exists.

It’s not hidden at all, people just refuse to see it.

only took over a decade. How many cybertrucks have made it to customers?

>Prosecutors were actually seeking a fine closer to 2 million euros, which is about $2.2 million, but Stadler’s team was able to get that knocked down because the guy doesn’t exactly have a job these days.

I mean, are any of those problems unique to EV’s? GM having crappy liftgate/tailgate handles is a punchline that predates this car by over a decade. It’s more damning for GM than it is a reason to forgive Tesla for similar issues. They still have the valid excuse of only doing this for like 15 years.

I have never seen anyone claim that manufacturing any vehicle was easy. It’s one of the most complex things we do manufacture.

...GM, known benchmark for automotive build quality :P

Another good idea poorly executed. A better and more fair option would be to delete the gas tax and make both types pay a per-mile-driven tax based on weight and size. If you want to encourage ev adoption, keep the gas tax but call it a carbon tax and use those proceeds for healthcare.

The third row is great but most people I know with SUVs don’t have the third row.  They are just driving around in tall station wagons.

CUVs are just crappy versions of station wagons. Andy even included a description that made it clear that “car” was not limited to sedans. If footprint was everything, then there’d be more hatchbacks. As for sedans, I don’t much like them either, but a lot of people love having the luggage fully separated from the…

A CUV is a shittier version of a wagon. Taller, worse mpgs, can hold less stuff, etc. I get that wagons aren’t in fashion anymore, but they’re measurably better at most things than a CUV is. Every soccer mom driving around in an empty Escalade/Suburban/X7/Yukon/Grand Wagoneer really just needs a wagon.

I’m kind of inclined to believe that this has less to do with people having some kind of epiphany and more to do with people wanting a new vehicle immediately and just taking whatever’s sitting in inventory, which is generally sedans/hatchbacks. 

GR Prius

$46,990 is still about $20k more than that car is worth.

The last line in this piece, the quote from Statton, ““If only these people knew” - the thing is, they do. They just. don’t. give. a. shit.

(repro advocate here - more studies like this are underway and we’ll hear so many more horror stories like this. the mindfuck is that even though stories like this may continue to…

You’re a special kind of piece of shit, huh?

The cruelty is the point.
