Exactly.  I find that carmax isn’t that impressive on pricing.  BUT. not having to haggle and fight the plaids and all their random crap. means I would shop them when I need a used car.

This is what’s going to keep Tesla around longer than they have any right to. The fact that they announce a price...and that’s actually what you pay to get it.

Don’t believe anything Stellantis management says when it comes to labor costs. They will use every tactic they can to diminish and discredit workers’ demands and try to sway public opinion against the union.

All Hondas and Toyotas plus a Ford F-150. We didn’t need Consumer Reports to tell us this. 

And they are a shrinking vocal minority. Look, they generally come from 2 demographics.

Yeah, I think the more clearly they explain their position, the more people reject it. Republicans seem to do best when they lie about their positions.

You mean just like how legacy ICE cars calibrated the fuel gauge to appear like it has more gas than it really does? After filling up your tank, you may notice that despite driving 20 miles, the needle doesn’t move at all - then suddenly when you’ve traveled 30 miles it begins to drop a little. Car makers realize that…

“this is all to be expected as the industry grows, and doesn’t reflect a dip in consumer interest”

Good luck finding a Prius Prime on a dealer lot. Even if you do find one, the dealer is probably marking it up by $5-10K. 

I would just like to know how one picks up a child from school “with humility.” Also, at least Pratt’s comment was presented in the spirit of ironic self-awareness, like, I don’t think he was actually expecting a pat on the back for opening pickle jars.

I was prepared to roll my eyes at this story, but yeah, this is monumentally pathetic. The “my kids” jumped out at me, too. I feel like we should all agree picking up the kids, regardless of a spouse’s/co-parent’s health, is truly bare minimum parental responsibility stuff. I’d imagine that was the extent of Ron’s…

1st Gear:

You try driving with 5" lifts in your heeled ankle boots.

Honestly, I think the dog is in better hands. Hoping it gets adopted by a loving family real soon. Horrible, horrible thing to do to it.

For the 100th time… the tax credit is not a discount coupon. People still have to finance the car and pay interest respective to the original MSRP.

“It looks like it’s going to be a bit harder for automakers to convince people”

I used to quite like Grimes’ music, but her dumb shit killed off any interest I had in her most recent album. I think her trying to hide the secret second baby she had with Ol’ Musky from the journalist who was in her home is what broke me.

Gee, maybe they’d sell more if every EV the general public can afford wasn’t awful...

Any expert that has been setting these deadlines for X% of new car sales to be electric by 2030 or 2035 has done little with actual car sales or talking to regular folks. Last year we couldn’t keep a Leaf on the lot with the federal tax credits. Now with those tax credits gone and prices rising very few people want a…

I like the idea of Elon Musk wandering around the Tesla factory floor trying to fix the coffee pot and typing gibberish code into a laptop the printer repair guy left behind, while the security cameras record his every move so they know who to send in and fix all his screwups the next day.
