Yeah, that door is production. This is a production car launch. 

Ford doesn’t own an interest in Mazda anymore.

Mazda doesn’t need a proprietary charging network. I could see them easily installing DC fast charge stations at each dealership, but Tesla is the only one with a charging network that can only be used by Teslas. 

Mazda BT50 bakkie (in Saffa-speak)?

Not an SUV, but a pickup. Mazda BT-50. (Image shown has an aftermarket rear bumper)

Look up Tesla Bjorn 1000km challenge videos, with faster charging cars being released long road trips are getting better. I bought a Kona as a commuter and was surprised on how well it does on sub 400 mile one way road trips. You do you need to plan stops but with electrify america chargers the 150kW chargers it makes…

My lease for my i3 ends in Feb, and I’m 100% sure I’m getting a Tesla. The only real competitor might have been the VW ID3, but we are not getting it here, cause we suck. And even if it was here the feature differences might not be worth it for the few $ difference.

BMW in 2014: “Let’s release two narrow-niche vehicles based on two completely new chassis developed in highly environmentally-responsible yet currently expensive ways - investments into new technology. We’ll learn a lot and be ready for the future.”

I generally prefer Ford when it comes to trucks, but yeah, their new interior is a huge step backwards. The lower in trim you go, the worst it gets.

Hard to get worse

A Corvette with a good interior would be far more revolutionary than making it mid-engined.

Easy, C8 Corvette:

The UAW is aware of the impact of EVs

In complete agreement that induced demand works hand-in-hand with land use patterns. They cannot be separated and we see it with suburban sprawl around the country. Welcome to the urbanism club, good sir. There’s a keg in the back.

Well go ahead and do an article on the data you wish you had, so you can compare it to the article Jalopnik did on the data they do have, and then we’ll see whose article is better.

You don’t make $30/hr. That is only if you are constantly booked, if you do 6-10 min. trips over three hours you will make $30 in a hour of work time, but it will have taken you 3 hours to work an hour. Their $30/hr booked rate is a useless stat unless you can work non-stop, which is impossible since you are never…

because some people don’t have a choice and $10 is better than $0. I admit I thought the exact same thing as you before I tried driving for Uber. After talking with other uber drivers while waiting for a fare i started to understand.

You’re right in a lot of what you’re saying, but when I put off cdl school to do this gig because they say they only take 20% or so, then stiff me another 10-15%, then I’ve wasted time and money because they lied about how they do business. That's shitty

So the companies are ripping off drivers and still losing a metric shit ton of cash.  It seems nobody is making any money in this scheme except the investors and executives, ohhhhhhhhhh.

Are you a cop? Because you sound like a cop. It’s gonna be ok man, this is a good story on a bad take. He’s not hurting anyone, so we can all just relax.
