this drives me insane. no one else seems to notice

In Peoria?

Yep. I hate this “hurr durr FCA products use the same switchgear so they’re all the same” garbage that Doug Demuro started. Its lowest common demoninator thinking at best. I don’t care if the turn signal stalks are from a charger, or the window switches. If they shared the same motor/trans, then fine. But Alfas and…

Agreed, just learn to fix your car as it breaks, like generations have before you. a 2005 saab is a decent car.

Yeah WTF? “Starting to develop issues” screams “Im not excited by this car.” - Its the perfect first car. AWD and swedish.

Nah dude. They’re still (mostly) white. They’ll be treated with kid gloves.

I worked at Tesla from 2012-2016 in various roles. One of the main reasons I left, other than the insane hours and turnover, was the owners. They are truly a different breed of crossover car/tech fanbois. And usually its the retirees that are the worst about it. When I bought my EV, I purposefully avoided a Tesla so I…

I had 93 GT 5 speed for my first car. The name didn’t help it, but it was a damn fun car to drive. That 2.5 V6 sounded really good with a magnaflow too!

I would get an Ioniq 5 over the Model 3 anyday

Regarding Intel/Columbus, my issue with it is the 30!!! year tax abatement incentive the state gave away. Thats a lot of infrastructure, school, and public service expenditures that aren’t being paid for. Lots of states are in a race to the bottom to see who can lure the big shiny new manufacturing plants, only to…

Time to bring back the guillotines 

Nah just fire the person in charge of reporting the numbers. Then input whatever numbers you want!

I once worked an overnight manual labor shift putting up crowd control bollards for a marathon event through downtown San Jose on Thanksgiving day. Then decided to make the 4 hour drive home to Lake Tahoe to try to have dinner with my family. Running on no sleep, I fell asleep at the wheel about 2 hrs into the drive…

Honestly, could have been much worse. Could have been a cassingle!

I really hope they can do it at point of sale. This tax burden nonsense is WAY too much for the layman or car dealer to think about.

And you know, that he was a Nazi sympathizer

I spent a few years living in Ukraine. They are glorious. Deathtraps, but glorious.

I’ve worked for both Tesla and SolarCity. I left Tesla for SolarCity because Tesla is garbage to work for. Literally twice in the same year, I changed departments a month before my previous department was completely shuddered (Sales, and Delivery) via tweet by Elon. I had colleagues who put in years at Tesla who found…

I also left Tesla due to the horrible way they treat employees. Many of my colleagues who were in sales (I wasn’t) literally found out they all lost their jobs via Elon tweet. Then a month later, he decided that oops, we actually need salespeople, and tried to hire them back at 80% previous wages.
