VAG and the board are smart enough to look long term, and long term does not bode well for Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Bentley, especially as we move from ICE to EV tech.

Why does it have to be ether fossil fuel OR renewables? Do you not realize that we currently use both, and we can change the require proportion of energy production from either to best suit the needs of that moment? Nuclear is not the best option, and we see more and more plants being decommissioned and no…

Amen, brother, preach on!

Well, I have to wonder about a rural Cadillac dealership that does not already have a co-branded sales floor. That means they can, and maybe should, say goodbye to Cadillac and just sell the non-EV focused brand. This is not the first time that changes in cars have made it no longer cost-effective for some dealerships…

Well, it sounds to me like Ford is really focusing the EV F150 on the business market - fleets and such - rather than the everyday consumer. And really, styling is the last issue on the mind of a fleet manager. As long as it is not horrible looking, it will be fine.

Well, the problem with GM and Harley is that they had so much potential, did so well a long time ago, and then just stopped trying. So you end up ragging on them like you would rag on a guy who had everything and pissed it all away. You would not do that to someone who never had anything and tried and failed to do…

Totally agree. Sergio, rest in peace, was the only one to say what everyone else knows. And nobody is willing to do, apparently. At least no major automotive OEM. So few people actually care about what motor, transmission, steering system, braking system or suspension is under the body of that CUV they like, other…

All good points, but I am stunned by anyone except a dealer who thinks that the direct sales model would not be an improvement on the status quo.

Bye Felicia...

All true, but you left out the most important element.

Well, one very important thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the staff working the drive-thru these days are not Gen Z kids. A lot of these people are older, Millenials, Gen-X, or even Boomers trying to make a living, not some high-school kid doing a part time job to make extra pocket money.

Kisses, baby. Seems I struck a nerve, and your holier-than-thou fiscal conservatism while liking BIPOC athletes on your hometown team and listening to Snoop Dog make you feel like you are socially liberal attitude. I never said you were racist. You, and your guilty conscious, must have made you think that. Those…

So true. The SEC is supposed to police the Securities and Exchanges and keep them free from fraud, corruption, and other crimes against humanity. And that is like asking a 4 year old to guard candy from being consumed. It ain’t going to happen. That 4 year old will look you directly in the eye and tell you that the…

Neutral: Role-Swapping

And leaving a dead human - who might have not actually been dead at that point - is better?

Wearing camouflage and carrying an AR-15 does not make you a military vet. Having a family member in the armed forces does not make you a vet. Serving in the armed forces does. And no civilian Hummer served in the military.

Look, he is a total piece of shit, and theoretically should “disappear”, or take a nice dirt nap. I do not condone anything Andrew has done, nor what he has denied doing, as it pertains to unlawful sexual relations with underage girls, period.

It probably wasn’t all that different back in the days of NASCAR wing cars like the Superbird and Charger Daytona.

Dear Nikola,

The fact of the matter is Tesla is neither an energy company nor a tech company. It is an automotive manufacturer, like GM, Ford, FCA, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, et al., but it is treated financially by the VC and stock market as a tech company, playing by those rules, not the rules used on a car company.
