whatever it is, it probably looks like an Accord Coupe.

That's just Toyotas, though. My first car was a Toyota 4Runner that my dad bought new and then gave to me 10 years later at 190k, then passed on to my younger brother at 250k, and finally to one of our cousins at 300k. I'm about 90% sure my cousin still drives it and will probably drive it past 400k. Toyotas might be…

Between this and the Viper s2000 posted last week, if I ever need ideas for a fun way to kill myself Jalopnik will be the first place I look.

If I was going to get a heart transplant I would definitely want them to replace it with a Viper engine.

I'm guessing the reason for that is that the logo appears at the top of the page instead of in the top bar, but I could be wrong.

You're not taking into account opportunity costs. Every hour that these customers spend searching for a car online or haggling with dealers could be spent either working and making money or as leisure time, and for some people that makes it worth it.

Touche. I was referring more to general business climate rather than Tesla specifically.

Cost of living in general is pretty outrageous in California.

Oh no, I completely agree and I think that the fact that the politicians in this state have allowed the dealer lobby to block Tesla like they have is absolutely deplorable. I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of Rick Perry but I think he takes more heat than he deserves. I'm sure it's just a ploy to woo Musk and Tesla to…

That's okay, we'll take Toyota, HP, Dell, and Lockheed Martin, along with a ridiculous amount of other fortune 500 companies who are headquartered or have a considerable business presence in Texas.

Sure, I still think you're wrong though. Disregarding the fact that a plane can travel the same distance that a bus can in a fraction of the time, buses don't have flight attendants, free food and drink, or video screens built into the back of the seat in front of you.

Buses don't usually carry 100+ people from one continent to another cruising 30,000 feet in the air while traveling over 500 mph. I'd say that's a pretty far cry from being a "flying bus".

Thank God. I'm just a little uneasy about the idea of not being able to take control of the car if something goes wrong with the autonomous system.

Wait did you mean antagonists? Not trying to be snarky, actual question.

The issue is that it's a slippery slope. Why should these people be allowed to inhabit these homes for free while the rest of us have to pay for what we have and contribute something of monetary value to society? Also, the process of removing squatters is very difficult, so if and when someone does want to officially…

Yes. Yes I would prefer the 4Runner. My general rule of thumb is that if the answer isn't Miata, it's probably 4Runner.

I know plenty of women who buy cars because of the way they vroom vroom. My intention was not to belittle you or attack you. My point was that NOBODY (both women and men alike) buys a Porsche for its ecofriendliness or its MPG, just like nobody buys a fuel-efficient hybrid to use as a racecar. Therefore, because you…

Would you spring for a BMW crossover or maybe the new Range Rover? No? So you are, in no way, shape, or form, Porsche's target demographic with this car? Okay, thanks for clearing that up for us.

Buying a Porsche for gas mileage/eco-friendliness is like buying a Nissan Leaf as a trackday car. It just doesn't happen.

I disagree with you. Both my father as well as the fathers of most of my friends (or some other power figure in their life) taught us basic car maintenance, ie. how to change oil, change a flat, etc. If you're saying that fewer people tinker and perform the level of maintenance that they used to themselves, but I…
