I’d never buy from a place like carvana where the inability to haggle is somehow lauded as a good thing, but:

This.

And for accuracy:

Every motorcycle rider thinks they're way cooler than they are

This guy is a huge asshole!!! You don’t take motorized vehicles on a park designed for something else. Don’t f@*k up the skate park for those who we’re trying to keep from damaging property by shredding around town.

He was boned at 0 seconds... he owns a trike.

...The article was satire.

I wonder if this news Hertz Tesla.

My definition has to do with the percentage of people who are excited about automobiles compared to the percentage of people apathetic about automobiles.

When fuel is cheap, people don’t have to worry about buying cars solely for practical reasons. They don’t all have to drive modern VW Polos (like many do in Germany),…

“you can drop an EV motor into a classic car”

On some level, it does evolve, no doubt. You see lots of great small cars in Europe; not so in the U.S.

Nonetheless, when I compare car culture in nations with cheap gas to the car culture in nations with pricey gas, it’s clear that inexpensive gas plays a major role in fueling car culture. It opens up the doors for…

Lots of things happened last week.  Like Hertz making the announcement they’re ordering 100,000 cars.  Are you suggesting Musk announced it via Tweet?  Because I’m not seeing that.

That is also not how a pump and dump works, nor is it something that makes any sense compared to the ability to lock in his options when he reaches increased valuation targets.

A pump and dump scheme would involve him driving the price up.

Isn’t it the opposite? His tweet negatively effected the stock market because he said that the Hertz buy shouldn’t have made such positive effect as it did

Ironically, I worked at Toyota and now work at a company that had to shut its doors in Mississippi because the Toyota plant (and all of the supplier facilities) came in caused the labor rate to skyrocket in the area. We’re seeing a similar issue now with another plant with an Amazon warehouse open down the road.

5th gear: Toyota was one of (if not the) first Japanese automakers to set up shop in the US using union labor, and they suffered the consequences after the NUMMI fiasco and witnessing the inability of other union plants to pick up on the improvements they made to their own. It took years (and many rounds of employees…

“It’s really too bad that Toyota is experiencing the consequences of its own actions.”
That isn’t how consequences work. This law is what is known as an “externality” or “unknown” in economic models.
The other way to headline this would be “One of the world’s largest automakers, who brought good-paying jobs to rural…

The issue with carbon ceramics on track is not the brakes themselves so much as the replacement costs. A lot of track rats downgrade to steel so they aren’t out $15k in parts costs when it comes time to do pads and rotors. 

Maybe it’s because I spent so many years designing for mass production, but: I always find the Corvette far more impressive than the Koenigseggs and Paganis. It’s much more difficult, consequential, and just cool to bring technology and performance like this into the five figure sale price and five figure production…
