The first car I ever bought on my own, just out of college, a 2001 Jetta GLS, silver with black leather interior, heated seats, monsoon sound system, 1.8t and a manual. It was 22k out the door as I recall... That was a lovely car. Quiet, decently quick, fun(ish) to drive, great styling... Sigh.  That Ferdinand guy was…

I don’t know... the promise of zero to 60 in 6.6 seconds plus the MPG’s has me considering it for the next car. If it actually handles it would be a nice little hatch...

of course it has a fucking CVT so... meh

They lost me at “CVT”. 

George Carlin does a hilarious skit about the terms used when discussing all things flight related. He said the same thing you did.

I really really wanted this.  Then I realized it was FWD only.  Living in the northeast I want AWD.  Especially in a rocket like that.

I didn’t buy a GTI because of this exact reason. What the hell were they thinking???

Hopefully they will see the error of their ways and fix this ergonomic hellscape.

Get a grip my man.

The general idea of economic protection from an openly hostile nation ... is wrong?  Ummm. 

Well said.

It’s worked so well... It’s worked so well that we sell vast areas of land in California so that Saudi’s can grow alfalfa which consumes tremendous quantities of water.

Regulation is important. The idea that government is the problem is perhaps the worst legacy of that fucker Ronald Regan.

A typo vs an actual misspelling... Good on ya though.  If foreign countries want to allow non-citizens to purchase property that is up to them.  I’m saying we shouldn’t be selling our natural resources to foreign countries i.e. China or Saudi Arabia. 

I’m no more a xenophobe than I am a homophobe. I just don’t see the value in letting foreign countries purchase large swathes of American land and natural resources.

Explain to me please the value in doing so.  I’ll entertain a lively debate but you will refrain from name calling.

I read about this as well and was shocked. Like we don’t have enough water issues in the west without selling the land on top of aquifers  to people who want us dead? Fucking shocking.

Absolutely - Not just China. 

I feel disgusting for having to agree with that piece of shit DeSantis but I actually agree with banning foreign entities from owning land / real estate within our boarders.
I’ve never heard a good reason for allowing this and as it stands there are so many vacant condo’s in Boston owned by foreigners as investments.

A…

You calm down there, Chuck.  I’ll say what I say you can either choose to read it or not.  In other words...

It’s a great site.  Absolutely love it.

As my Drivers Ed teacher was fond of saying, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they mostly stink.

Simplicty doesn’t come in the form of a tablet that controls all function lol. It’s a mess to use.

I abhor chrome. For the record I drive a Volvo S60 T6 R design. Understated, minimilistic, classic design.…

Pretty sure I did...

You do have a point... but I still think, as a mere commoner, that luxury should represent high quality, ageless design, and scarcity. None of those attributes can be used to describe Tesla.
