Obviously people can buy whatever they want, whether it's for a rational reason or not. It would be cool if any other vehicle on the US market could hit the same balance of performance, range, speed, price, etc.

Bringing in experts to fix your problems, then not letting them. Classic.

I'm not convinced that this comparison is true anymore.

I think Doug Demuro phrased it well when he called the Model 3 "The Greatest Appliance Ever Made". The M3 and MY LR RWD cost the same as the cheap Ford and Chevy cars and crossovers / "CUV"s. Teslas aren't just playthings for tech bros. Now, Rivians on the other hand...

I asked because the trim I've had to mess with on my car has had clips.

Not sold in the US. Shout-out to the chicken tax.

A barebones ("work truck"?) electric Maverick would be wonderful.

Is anyone else just gluing trim on like this? Yeesh.

What if the truck was "normal"? I mean, for now, they're still selling a lot of the low poly ones, but something sized like a Ranger/Colorado or Maverick and styled more like the R1T seems like a way smarter move for them.

Imagine an alternate history where he never bought Twitter or started a SuperPAC and Tesla made a normal truck, the new Roadster, and was close to releasing the Model 2.

An ID GTI and a clapped out off-roader are probably my perfect 2 car solution right now.

How did Mazda settle on the Femur Shatterer as the shape of their hood?

I'm still holding out hope for an electric Miata. One day.

Of all the things to quit over, this is a pretty solid one. Now, whether or not that's the same guy we see today...

Elon Musk is stepping away from his roles on two of Donald Trump’s advisory councils following the president’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.

I'm not looking forward to seeing Cybertrucks with Trump and MAGA flags.
