Tesla has done what other companies only dreamed about no doubt. Elon is a genius . A man for the History books for sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 My niece's husband had his twin motor Rivian at Thanksgiving. He took delivery 3 weeks ago. Cool red color. It weighs 7200 pounds. Same as my 4 wheel drive Transit. That MoFo is heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd agree, the body lines, body components, layout, technology, serviceability, probably all engineering excellence. Plastic interior panels, seat materials, aesthetics, "everything" other than the 24 inch monitor inside the vehicle screams after-thought. At least that is how I felt inside them.

DriftBusta Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Stellantis CEO is expressing similar reservations about the acceptance of EVs, and mentioned winds of change in the political climate, i.e. R majority who will roll back any mandates, hence slowing their projections.

Although Jeep is the only brand I’ve ever seen a corporate guy come down and take the car from us (an independent shop) because the pos was so corroded with less than 20k miles lol. It’s so hard to choose both brands are so horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while back when they changed their build philosophy and started to share all sorts of shit with Audi/Porsche+ they changed completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
