And leasing of public lands and ROWs for oil infrastructure. And military expenses related to protecting oil resources.

Fossil fuel “subsidies” are wildly overstated if you mean actual direct spending. There really aren’t material direct federal subsidies for fossil fuel companies. However, you can make the argument (and many groups have attempted to calculate) that there are big implicit subsidies through things like providing…

Ford has the F150 lightning (much more accessible than the Silverado EV) and the Mach-E, but both really need a new generation to be competitive with the forthcoming GM Utilium. Stellantis is a bit of a basketcase generally, but they are on the cusp of their big EV rollout (and not just the former Chrysler brands). 

Another reason is that China is already a huge manufacturing hub for a lot of components (especially electronics). If you have an EV factory in China and need to source a particular capacitor or need some vacuum molded plastic, the factory that does it is probably down the street and is used to turning around orders…

The Prologue sold 5400 units in August alone, which was pretty surprising. Will see if it keeps up.

There are brands and dealerships I absolutely will not consider because they’re such smarmy douchebags. Eventually it's going to catch up to them. 

Did we watch the same video? What more than the U-Turn did he do? Is it really that unusual to see a semi truck near a warehouse?

Agreed, not convincing enough that he was participating, and looked more like he was just doing a U-Turn and people started jumping on the back

What a shame.

Did I miss when they made an EV HD truck?

oh cmon. look like the truck needed to do a u-turn to leave the spectacle event. everybody was just going “bonkers” bc well he needed the entire space for the u-turn. 

Which electric, body-on-frame truck with 8-bolt hubs was that?

Time to build a stadium truck!

It required “an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits”. Who maintains that database? Who ensures that cars continue to receive those data? How quickly do they require those data be updated for road work, etc? It was a…

This is like saying X number of people are losing money on their stock portfolio.

I remember back when gas first shot up to $4 a gallon people would stand there holding the lever open and holding the hose up with their hands to get every drop ‘they paid for’ and explaining to me how they legally are entitled to do this.  Meanwhile I’m like shut the hell up and stop playing with the gas hose for an…

Next week’s life-hack - if you see a an old muscle car running carbs, follow them really closely so your car can ingest the unburnt fuel coming from their exhaust! Ka-ching!

How do you think I feel when I go to fill up my car with premium after someone just used the lowly regular fuel... I remember when it was only like 10cents a gallon difference, now it’s almost a dollar more, and those 87 users are diluting my premium... ugh. 

To be fair, if your car spends 99% of its time at the shop getting repaired or for its every 100-mile full tune up, does it really matter if they even got the make right, much less the model?

If Esquire really thinks that purple’n’bronze Maser is fashionable, all its taste is in its corporate promo boot-lickin’ mouth.
