Why write a detailed article when you can call someone a racist and rail against entitled millionaires at the same time. Much better for clicks.

lol Jalop covers this saga endlessly for months, then writes almost a blurb about it at the climax that focuses on one off color remark without paying attention to any of the rest.

I am way too excited to hear what he has to say. Not Game of Thrones finale excited, but easily the most excited I’ve ever been to hear an auto exec speak.

Carlos: “I escaped a country with a completely rigged justice system because I wouldn’t get a fair trial.”

These are the people renting trucks they have no clue how to drive based on Jalop advice.

lol 6th best selling CAR for 3rd quarter of 2019 in a market where nobody is buying cars. Truly a world beater.

I would be able to take this article more at face value if AG didn’t convey some sense of “I hate cars” in every article he writes lol

Hot take - the industry wide scramble to move to autonomous vehicles and electrification is mostly as result of wall st pressure on stock prices to be more like tesla, even though Tesla doesn’t operate at a profit, doesn’t make an autonomous vehicle and sells hardly any cars (comparatively). In 10 years, there still…

“I, for one, am worried if the company that couldn’t even get the launch of the Explorer right”

Yes, Mexico seems very stable right now and has been for the last decade or two.
