    I had not really noticed but they are and it looks like a kitted-out Camry.

    The interior is better than the new S-Class interior.

    I prefer the Lucid Air to this

    Interesting interview with Musk.
    TLDW: musk agreed with the build quality issues with Tesla, especially the Model 3 and offers insight into why.

    I'll leave your pretty gas guzzler coughing at the stoplight while I instant torque my way down the road.

    Keep mocking the TSLA skeptics. We will see who has the last laugh.

    Tesla delays everything if not outright canceling it. Cybertruck, Roadster, Plaid +, the supposed full self driving that’s supposed to come out “by the end of the year” 2 years ago which is not even close to ready.

    Canceled what? Trim levels? No product has been canceled. Short term delays, sure, but in the long run they have blown away expectations, like they just did this quarter and this year.

    FSD that can drive you around while you take a nap is a harder problem than expected and has taken longer. But FSD is also delivering features today that is better than any driver assist feature on the market and that is what actually matters to consumers.

    lol you know GM is not only delaying the f150, they aren’t making any EVs at all right now right? Their only EV the Bolt was spontaneously combusting while parked and they have recalled every single one ever made and completely shutdown production. I’m sure that won’t happen with the f150 though :rolleyes:

    You do know that GM doesn't make F-150s right? The F should give you a pretty big hint.

    A Ford Lighting with dealer markup of 30-50k is going to be hilarious

    Oops lol. Yes GM is making no EVs, Ford is delaying f150s. Two separate things. I keep mixing those two dinosaurs together.
