Easy, dude. It was a joke. 

GM has a trademark on Cruze, too. The best small car GM ever made. Rated better than the (even Honda admitted it was hot garbage by redesigning for 2012) 2011 Civic by Consumer Reports.

Boop

The real meat of the story and source of anger isn’t them quibbling over using the word “Cruise”. It’s what you slipped in right at the end - that this shit is gonna be a goddamn microtransaction.
I’m gonna go on the record for this - every single auto manufacturer can take their microtransactions and over-the-air…

I’ve seen the same with 2 giant SUVs with teeny tiny soccer moms, both have backing/parking sensors beeping the hell out that we could even hear from the open windows and they still backed into each other. People are morons

Direct them to Wendy’s?

His truck

Elizabeth, we have to know. Is Tom Hanks a Ford, Chevy, or Dodge guy? What has he used to tow this 8,000 pound monster? There’s a Super Duty in one of the pictures. Is that his, or the auction houses? Let’s settle the truck wars once and for all with Hanks as arbiter!

For that price I better get one of his signature Tom Hanks lap dances.

Gotta be rich to afford to heat hot water.

I think you mean, “this horse has volted.”

The EPA officially uses kWh/100 mi, but journalists and owners can’t break the MPG habit and still insist on using mi/kWh.

EQXX Wagon, please!

Don’t sell yourself short, I just finished the peanut video and found it enjoyable. I enjoyed your train videos too. Those of us in a large metro city with practically no underground to speak of (there’s a dozen foot tunnels under downtown that most Houstonians don’t even know about) find the NYC subway system novel…

I honestly think they really just don’t know how to talk about anything market related. 

I believe Amazon is the biggest investor but, as you said, is not the owner.

Was just about to say this. Amazon has a large investment in Rivian...they do not own them, though.

They have a lot of investors but remain independent. Adam referring to it as “Amazon-owned” is a paints an inaccurate picture. “Amazon-backed” makes more sense. 

Yeah, I haven’t seen anyone claiming Tesla is benevolent*. Just that if you’re going to get screwed, you might as well be screwed by the people actually responsible for the car - not some dipshit who adds no value.

*Disclaimer: I do not spend any time at all talking to Tesla fanboys, so I’ll admit my sample is skewed.
