Tesla really has no experience and knowledge of how to run an auto manufacturer like the big ones have been doing for over a century. This is not to say the big ones have always done it right.

Dyson ball vacuum cleaners were the first thing to come to my mind...

I used to own a two tone jade green 1978 LTD II 2-door hardtop with the sports touring package. It had comfort weave vinyl bucket seats, console with floor shifter and full instrumentation. It was the same exact Torino/Montego/Cougar based car as the Thunderbird from 1977-79 except for specific Thunderbird exterior…

Yeah I pretty much intend the various wheelbases to be included within my reference to bodystyle configuration.

Impala/Malibu/Nova is different than Caprice/Impala/Bel Air/Biscayne. Before the 1960s there were no compact or intermediate sized vehicles. Everything was based on a standard car with one design and they were distinguished by bodystyle configuration and trim level series.

9GM may as well go back to badge engineering these CUVs. They all look alike no matter what except for insert corporate grille and badge on the nose.

The oil pressure gauge on the dash of my 91 Ford Probe works when I tap on the side of it’s tilt adjustable cluster pod.

Some cars don’t have windshields.

I pissed that you don’t know how to spell “axle”!

When will it get predator face?

Not to mention the Ford Falcon Club Wagon and the Chevy Corvair Greenbriar passenger vans were based on compact sedans and developed to compete with the popular VW Type 2 Microbus. They were reasonably compact in size until they were replaced with larger heavy duty designs based on pick-up truck mechanicals.

The Ford Carousel prototype is from the early 70s. It resulted from the “Nantucket” project that redesigned Ford’s full-sized vans. Since the new vans were longer and taller, Iaccoca approved development of a smaller garageble van. It got frozen in it’s tracks when it threatened the sales of highly profitable…

It’s not a new trend. It’s a revived old trend.

It was a missed opportunity to not market a Spread Eagle limited edition...

Every single Eagle was a badge engineered Chrysler or Mitsubishi product. At best it served as some volume sales for Jeep Eagle dealers but most of them were lumped into dealers of other Dodge-Chrysler-Plymouth dealers. Eagle at this point offered nothing unique other than different badges and a differently styled…

Please no more reboots, remakes or sequels of anything. If there is not enough creative talent to come up with something new and different then do not bother.

I don’t think yellow helps a Sunfire...

Not to mention when vehicles are passing each other in opposite directions it is the left side of the vehicles that are most likely to hit each other offset.

It’s reasonable to not waste fuel while idling to warm up but it’s also reasonable to drive conservatively until the vehicle does warm up.
