New vs old all depends on life situation.

Cheapest, no, but best value, maybe. With the prices of used cars still historically high, a new car with zero miles can be a better value than a 3 year old car with 50,000.

I’m petty so I’m pretty peeved they allowed him to get away with that photo. Normal plebes would have to hold their head up and face the camera directly. Like a passport photo.

I feel helpless in this “reduce, reuse, recycle” era. I do my best to recycle everything I can, yet I know that the majority of it ends up in a landfill. I try to buy less (e.g. I’m not buying an air fryer-toaster-multi-purpose oven because the current toaster works just fine). And I reuse to no end, like clothing…

You are being carefully misleading. Prior to the Industrial Revolution carbon levels in nature were roughly static and sustainable and the carbon cycle was consistent.

Nobody’s perfect, and no matter your intentions, you will always have people calling out anything that can be construed as a mistake.

What part of car safety do you think comes from capitalism? The US auto industry has vigorously combatted almost every safety standard for cars OR pedestrians.

Yeah, try to find Chevy Bolts on dealer lots.

“This isn’t about all EVs. It’s about non-competitive EVs piling up at dealers.”

This isn’t about all EVs. It’s about non-competitive EVs piling up at dealers.

Direct sales cuts out one cost causer - the middleman. So as competition heats up, with more EV choices, the sales model with the least inherent cost can deliver a lower price.

I can’t afford a $32,000 car, let alone one twice that. And I drive my cars for 10+ years. In a decade will my electric car be as obsolete as an iPhone 5?

If you can’t afford a new car, you effectively don’t exist to automakers

It’s not really a secret that most car dealerships don’t actually like EVs. They need a lot less routine maintenance and repair than ICE vehicles which means dealers lose a lucrative source of revenue. They also require infrastructure that dealerships largely had to pay for. It’s not really a surprise that they are…

Judging from the pics so far - they probably should start with +/- 9mm tolerance.  

“All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.​”

oh man, I can see the snowball effect coming. If one studio got the pass to have “different” version from Series X and Series S, I can see other studio asking the same now.

i have the feeling that lots of them southerners who love this song are both obese & milking welfare.

“was immediately extolled by rightwing figureheads like Matt Walsh, Jack Posobiec, Ian Miles Cheong, Kari Lake, and Joe Rogan”
