"The boss noted that there's a ten-day supply of Mavericks at dealers," WTF does that mean?

20 years ago, I bought a 1991 VW jetta diesel for $250 with bent steering/suspension components because the previous owner drove into a ditch. I still have it and it still runs with 320,000 miles on it. You just need to find the right buyer

This is essentially a "hit piece" on tesla. They even mention that they include "over the air updates" as recalls. Only a small percentage of Tesla owners actually had to bring their cars in to be repaired. These are mostly software updates. ...And they are using "projected 30 year recalls" to...

Are you wanting to drill the holes without removing the side panels? Thats a bad idea. Just remove the panels and measure There are factory drill location marks on the back of the panels for some of the holes

I made a meme

Search for "paintless dent repair/removal" on youtube and you will find some amazing repairs that can be done without major body work or bondo. Yours obviously will require some paint touch up, but a good PDR guy could get that dent looking better in very short time.

No one is "in the game to lose money", most businesses lose money in the first few years until they build up their manufacturing infrastructure to sufficient scale to be profitable. That is just how large scale manufacturing works, it takes lots of initial investment and losses. Thats where they...

yes correct, all the big companies are losing money on all their ev models right now....except tesla. Tesla has the highest margins in the auto industry, because they are not constrained by their own legacy infrastructure, and their focus on manufacturing efficiency, in which toyota was always...

slightly conflicting information from that video, looks like they are hedging their bets. They will have a very difficult time building a hydrogen infrastructure by themselves. Will need other car manufacturers and governments to get on board. If you think the electric infrastructure is...

Educate me, State your source Toyota just started offering its first two ev's, and to my knowledge there is only one hydrogen powered toyota with about 21k sold so far. also opening a battery manufacturing plant in the US I think a more accurate statement would be that toyota is keeping hydrogen...

I see what you're saying. That is typical of all car companies, they will drip in over the years. Lots of hype and "concept cars". But as new EV's drip in, some ICE's will get dropped. And once a new EV platform is established, many different models can be built on it, so new ev models will...

Agreed, and that is why tesla is 3-5 years ahead of the other car companies. The others are dragged down by their own legacy. Tesla started with only EV's which require a ground-up design, not converting older designs to electric. The tesla production lines are not simple clones of former ones...

You do know he resigned Right?....because the industry is changing so fast and he cant keep up: "I am an old-fashioned person," Toyoda said, hinting that his passion for cars stood in the way of the company adapting to next-generation trends like digitalization, electrification and...

Yep, the PHEV is a good transition technology that will convert about 80-90% of peoples annual miles to electric. But the all-electric economy is coming, whether we like it or not. And faster than most people think. There was a major advancement in battery technology just two days ago that will...

Yes that is exactly what they plan to do. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/27/business/energy-environment/ford-battery-electric-vehicles.html People seem to severely underestimate how fast things move in this sector. Tesla built a plant in China in under a year that is producing 60 to 80,000...

Your link is to Sandy Munro's opinion from 5 years ago....Have you seen any of his recent reviews? The complete opposite of "hot garbage". He is all in for tesla now. Tesla has come a long way since then. "Perfect gaps and spectacular paint job. I was very impressed. That car was as good as...

I guess it depends on what you mean by "soon", but every major auto manufacturer disagrees with you

There is no such thing as a square foot of water. To correctly compute the weight, you need to know the VOLUME aka cubic feet aka L x W x H then convert that to gallons Then multiply by 8.3

A competent mechanic/dealership would order the replacement parts and do a temporary repair of the fuel leak with flexible fuel injection hose and send you on your way. They would note on your invoice that it is a temporary but safe fix and that you would need to return for the OEM repair when...

You're likely right. That's been my attitude as well, but I guess I just was wondering out loud to the internet.
