They should make another Back to the Future sequel featuring a Tesla, it’s definitely going the way of the DeLorean, right down to the company leaders - both brilliant but deeply flawed.

Ugh. How come Ford won’t make cars for us to drive anymore but they’ll drop a cool $4-billion on cars for robots to drive?

I don’t know about where you are, but around here (I’m in Canada) many dealers are now advertising prices in “weekly” to make it seem less...

You New Yorkers should call Andy Byford. He might actually get that stupid rule changed. (In case you don’t know he’s the president of the subway, or whatever you call it in America; but he used to be CEO of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).

Ha. It’s not a sacrifice of real time and effort at a job if you spend most of your day at work reading Jalopnik!

And that’s all well and good for you! You get your reward of a higher selling price on your used goods - isn’t that enough? Why do you also have to mock those that like to eat chips while they use their computer? It’s their equity/resale value they are throwing away and that’s their own right to trade that for more…

Wow... eating while using a computer you own makes you a “slobby garbage person”????

I think it’s always your choice initially. Often times to “save time” they will offer to do a trade-in appraisal while you’re on your test drive. The “lost keys” trick is pretty lame, but the idea of doing the two at once it’s really that bad from either side’s perspective.

God I’m glad I use a Mac...

I’m actually totally ready to buy an iPhone with no ports. When Apple does it there will be outrage, but god what do I need a lightning port for??? The future really is wireless.

Though they have had losses due to inflation, your comment doesn’t seem to understand currency valuation versus inflation. Not all currencies started equal to the US dollar and then shifted.

Also probably stuff like this wouldn’t happen:

I think it’s just because union jobs still generally pay a true living wage and they are the last bastion of the middle-class.

Yeah that’s pretty nasty looking, but I doubt it’s from smoking...

Excellent - us lovers of smoking while driving will keep our cars in our own circles and not have to have all the non-smokers driving up the prices.

Super common. Typically not more often than once or twice to a single person though.

I don’t think he was confused about that... My company also pays a premium to not ship with UPS. Typically we use Fedex also.

You can always just buy a stripped chassis and build your own whatever-you-want. Ford will sell you one for about $27,000.
