NO Regrets, Live your life to the fullest my friend. We all might miss out on a specific auto that we would have loved to own and drive, but no regrets on the life we have as there are always those with a worse life than us. I would have loved to own a mid 80's Monte Carlo SS Aero in Burgundy, but not meant to be. Now I will move forward with EVs.

That makes perfect sense. I don't want to mess with any modern car with that kind of damage. The vintage stuff, like a 56 Chevy, yeah, you could fix flooded....modern stuff...no.... I really think a second gen Camaro will be a car I will regret not owning when I die.

Good morning ... From New Hampshire From Virginia From Nevada, too (2 of these 3 came from reddit images!) - - - - - A little OCD humor to start the weekend ...

Put it another way, Toyota has more spare capacity than Tesla has total capacity.

No... just no. Put down the vape. Tesla does not have the manufacturing capacity globally to produce 8 million vehicles. Today, they can do about a million and a quarter per year, and Fremont is still using tents to build cars.

We now know what happens to aluminum bodies Fords in Fires...

For Drew... https://www.copart.com/lot/58207983/clean-title-1970-oldsmobile-98-pa-pittsburgh-north It's not listed as flood, but probably right.

It's in Floriduh, so probably flood damaged.

Hey, most lesbians I know are cool folks, and I actually sort of Like Subarus... https://www.copart.com/lot/54889943/2021-gmc-yukon-denali-ca-los-angeles Anyone have any idea why this Yukon in seemingly perfect shape has a non rebuildable title?

Nothing wrong with Taco loving Taco!

Someone sent me this earlier today ... thought I'd share I wouldn't even want to imagine any other outcome: accent, driving on the other side of the street, a royal family, high tea, bad teeth, and did I mention the accent ...

They were at a 1.92 million run rate in Q2 of this year. If they don't pass 2 million in Q3, they will in Q4 for sure, as there is still expansion happening at Berlin and Austin. Probably they get to 2.5 million next year with those factories. Mexico plant opens 2025 (or 2026 if they are late) and that has a 2 million capacity. The France or Spain plant whoever wins the 2nd European factory would be 2026 or 2027, that is another 2 million. There will be either a 2nd China factory or maybe India, and rumor is another American factory or Canada. Musk wants to build 10-12 more gigafactories, let's say they build just 5 that do 1.5 million units per year (and not the 2 million unit goal), that is 7.5 million units on top of the 2.5 million they can get out of what they have now, so 10 million units a year come 2030. Tesla has goals of 20 million cars in 2030, I think that is nuts, maybe in 2040, but 10 million in 2030 is very doable, will probably only take 8 million to hit #1 as VW and Toyota are losing market share to Tesla and the Chinese. Which should be terrifying to Toyota, because Auto factories running at anything less than say 75-80% capacity start to lose money. And once Tesla takes 30% of Toyota's volume, and Toyota isn't selling 10 million cars like they did in 2019 or 8 million cars like they did in 2022, and drop down to say 5 million cars in 2030, Toyota probably has to close half their factories and shutter half their models, just to survive.
