Elon has completely turned off the exact do-gooders he needs to buy his products. I’m one of them, and will never, ever buy a Tesla. 

I would pay slightly more for a us made, quality automotive product. I do for other things I buy.

2nd: here’s hoping United (which I fly) cancels future Max 10 orders and opts for more A321s.

Y’all can keep apologizing for them, but their direction and antipathy toward EVs and decarbonization is very clear. The green halo was much stronger in 2005 than 2015, when Toyota kept up with the trend of supersizing vehicles and focusing on trucks and SUVs.  And in 2005 vs. today, with Akio out there almost weekly…

I don’t listen to podcasts, but ok.

Please comprehend what I wrote.

An EV run to 200k or 300k will be waaaay more efficient than any ICE vehicle.

Any big truck Toyota is hybridizing are still guzzlers.  They’re not putting the hybrids in for efficiency.

If Toyota was really eco-conscious, it would’ve done that 10 years ago. Aside from a few models, Toyota stopped pushing widespread proliferation of hybrids across their lineup (outside of Japan).

“reluctance to go full EV seems to be tied largely to their presence in developing markets where EVs would either be impractical or impossible to implement on a large scale”

My last BMW was Sunset Orange. It’s a glorious color.

Japans Elon Musk is out with this weeks Press Release.

I leased my Polestar 2 in 2021.

Next year everything will change - when most EVs will be sold with NACS plugs.

Perhaps it’s another way of Ford saying they’re done investing in a new internal combustion engines and they’ll just milk the V8 until the very end. No sense in spending research and development money on a technology that is going the way of the dinosaurs.

Came to say this.  He certainly didn’t have good visibility and only “drifted” when he yanked the wheel to get back into his lane. 

“Police aren’t going to be fining folks for stopping a second to get a good pic of the Strip.”

$700/mo is crazy depending on income. For some, it’s rather reasonable.

Spot on in so many ways.

That’s about when Toyota took an interest in it.
