The H1B visa thing should tell you exactly what Trump is going to do here. He doesn’t GAF about his base. What did he do when they blew up about the visas? Did he pander to them and stand up to Musk? No, he flooded the zone with bullshit about Greenland and the Panama Canal.

A day pass costs a whopping $5. That’s not sustainable, so Musk has to be planning for something different. 

Yep, at the time they were definitely cool, and for the mid-80s they were generally viewed as good (if intentionally underpowered) cars. As they article notes, they suffered under the GM pecking order that mandated not competing with anything above them (Corvette, Camaro/Firebird). 

So you might ask what Musk’s endgame is here? How much money is this system going to make? Even if they build the entire system TBC wants, Vegas already has a million cabs and Uber drivers competing with it.

Same. I’ve been quite impressed the whole iDrive system in my i5.

Fortunately my kids are all in their 20s.

Drivetrain swap. Could you fit an SR20DET in there?

I like the current panoramic display. Stretching it all the way across the dash like this seems like a bad idea. The current version has the right balance of buttons. I mostly use the voice control or the arm rest cluster. 

If you made a crossover version of a Countach. 

Almost certainly the case. The Beast was engineered from the ground up, and this is a heavily modified Caddy. I can’t imagine that any of the protective systems are still the same after 30 years. 

Imagine the stains in that thing. 

Are we no longer doing links back to the original reporting with posts like this?

There’s definitely something about that guy that makes me hesitant here. At the very least, he has the feel of an enthusiast who may decide you’re the “wrong buyer” for this “gem” and refuse your money. 

Toyota did it first, sorta. That’s a Sienna on a Taco frame.

Working class voters when they realize the billionaires they voted for are pursuing policies that benefit billionaires over the working class.

It’s amazing how the bright orange turns what could be a fairly classy car (say, with dark brown leather and no colored trim) into something that screams “I won the lottery.”

-I understand that someone has forced your Waymo vehicle to stop and is trying to assault you. Let me get you some help for this issue.

This is the problem. This stuff isn’t rocket science, and the tech behind protecting yourself after a nuclear blast has been well understood for decades. But unless you are a hard-core prepper who has put in the effort to learn how it all works and how to maintain it and survive on your own over a long period of time,

What Musk doesn’t appear to realize is that Trump hates sharing the spotlight, especially with things like this.

A car like this needs to be seen to be worthwhile, which means it needs to be in pristine condition, which this appears to be. You’re not dailying this, you’re driving it to C&C and the local meetups where you can talk about your grandfather’s Cadillac.
