If Heinrich Himmler had owned a car company, would you lease a truck from him?
I interviewed with a nuclear energy startup last year. The CEO was very politically conservative and a huge Musk stan. You would think California would be the last place he would want to do business, but their offices are in West LA, for the same reason. All the best engineers are in California, and it’s not even…
Yet they couldn’t give away their Model 3s. <thinking emoji>
Especially for the Bay Area, this would be a weird car to drive around. San Francisco itself is a horrible city for a car like this - too little good parking, bad roads, and it would be a car crime magnet.
But Trump said it’s all about faucets and DEI. We don’t need those woke firetrucks.
Every point in LA is at least an hour from every other point.
Police have been known to badly exaggerate speeds in these chases, and their equipment for measuring them is not always the most accurate. That stretch of road is an undivided 2-lane highway. I have doubts anyone is hitting 168 at night on a road like this and living to tell about it.
I think if you have to ask why you would do any of this to a minivan, no answer will satisfy you.
3rd gear: Hardly surprising. The base ID.7 starts at £51,550 in the UK or roughly $64,000. It’s competing with the top-trim Model 3, Lucid Air, i4/i5, and EQE. That segment is already glutted with models that aren’t selling or being heavily discounted. Bringing it over here would likely end in disaster, and I’m…
It's amazing how conservative views about the reach of the president’s authority shift so dramatically based on who is in the White House.
Most of forensic science has traditionally been little more than a big circle-jerk designed to produce convictions in court. It has no other function, and the “scientists” who work in the field routinely cite and back up each other’s work to make it all look more legit. This allows them to point at journal articles…
So basically you have to deal with mouse ball ick, except on a much larger scale.
Tons of used Model 3s out there around $20-25k. It’s a fun, zippy car, and buying used you’re not giving Elon any more money.
The mental gymnastics that take place on the right around this issue are just bizarre. You can find lots of people insisting that tariffs will reduce the cost of living because (insert Underpants Gnomes logic).
Lies, Trump told us tariffs would reduce costs for American consumers.
People - this tariff talk is 90% virtual signaling for the MAGA base. He’s going to do what he did last time, which is enact something that looks like a tariff but is actually full of holes that are designed to protect his political allies and cronies and not tank the economy. The base will think he’s done something…
They need to deflect anything and everything that’s bad in the country now that Trump is back in office. Nothing is ever his fault.
I replaced my Model 3 with an EV made in a country where Musk could have been arrested for that salute. Irony.
Not to mention they took a photo of a big Warning message on the center display.
