Yes, in a two year lease, the dealer gets the car back and can sell it, so unless the kid destroys the car, the award costs the dealership almost nothing... 

Insurance makes sense for a $100K contest, but I’m surprised a dealership that can afford a $15M donation would bother with insurance for a $5K prize.

Even if the insurance company wouldn’t cover it, they should have immediately chosen to take the hit and pay for it out of pocket.

The 1st year 4xe’s had their share of problems, but I’ve had 2 now, a 2022 and a 2024, both trouble free.

Could be worse.

This definitely seems dubious. Crucially, I wonder what the opportunity for arbitrage is. If solar companies are having to pay inordinate amounts to compete for a dose of sunlight on their panels, how will they make money selling that energy? And this is still as susceptible as normal sunlight to things like cloud…

Good point. In recent years, I have done some soccer practice runs. My observation is that soccer moms drive many more SUVs (including CUVs) than minivans.

Any minivan.

I can see the bad bodykit from here. Buy a 3 series if you want the motor w a hardtop. 

I’m probably going to get a lot that won’t agree with me, but I’m just going to throw it out there.

This one must have been written by AI; same odd types of hallucination and vaguely alarmist, unfounded statements.

Sadly that’s just the way of modern online ‘journalism’. All about the SEO and clicks.

I assume 80% of what I read now is AI generated

As someone who’s worked in Construction for over 30yrs, this is probably the best take ! Being too specific leads to an opportunity to take advantage of that in he inverse!!

From the header pic, I thought they’d actually blown up the wrong bridge.

This article gave me a head ache. So many contradicting or confusing points. Were they told not to use explosives or did they just not get that approved? There are points in the article that present both of those scenarios.

And don’t get me started about the stupid hyperlinks that take you to an article that has nothing to do with the original story.

I’m starting to think that I’m only here for the dopamine hit I get from hate-reading this stuff.

“A headline should never be directly contradicted by what’s in the article.”

This whole take is ridiculous. If I wrote this, I’d be ashamed to put my name on it.
