  1. This really looks like a car designed and built in a third world country...and not in a good way.
  2. I don't think GM will sell enough electrics for this to matter.
  3. ...and is the reason I will never own another car with a 1, 4 or 5 in the first digit of the vin. Not buying something built by people who elect such a person. Ever. Everything we buy will be from the Chinese in 20 years anyways....
  4. Ummmm....I need no additional self proclaimed geniuses...
  5. The pain is more going to be like the family that buys a house in Connecticut in 1682 and is living in a modernized version of the same house in 2019...around a very long time. It's over valued at 20 bucks a share. The Chinese will eventually own a good deal of the country. they are playing the long game we are politically incapable of.
  6. If anything the Chinese will buy them and move production to China.
  7. #1. Tesla is entirely stoppable, will never get going and fully profitable. #2. See #1. #3. No love for Ford...covered ad nausea previously. #4. Other car makers will bring out more desirable electrics. I love your rants... Absolutely. The pain is only starting for Tesla shareholders. Or sunk them... But they were smart enough not to follow through...
  8. It's still a bad buy at the price of a Whopper....and my good friend Dustin Got food poisoning the last time we ate at burger king. Cost him $350 in an ER visit....which is far cheaper than the utter financial bath Tesla investors are going to take. More sane at least... ...or retreat to a private island and watch porn. That way he can mentally escape how badly his car company failed. They are far too smart for that... Even he is not dumb enough to loose that much money. In five years, Tesla stock will be equal to pre bankruptcy GM stock in value. I don't pity them in the least, the writing was on the wall when they bought them. Ford can go away also IMHO....
  9. Except that I don't think they will ever be financially viable for a number of reasons.
  10. Again...would not matter if it was oompah loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate factory or UAW members...that plant has produced its last vehicle.
  11. For better or worse, richer or poorer....has gone the way of the dodo bird... On the Visa thing....our current political climate is just vile. A trillion dollars a year in additional government debt....trade deficit is the worst it has ever been...consumer and student debt is as high as it has ever been...about that...yeah... Staying debt free and living modestly myself.
  12. Given Ohio's obesity rate, maybe converting it into the worlds largest food court makes more sense. The food workers union is easier to work with than the UAW, or so I am told. The liability politically and with the unions is greater than a million a month.
  13. Well...both Cincinnati and Cleveland have lots of established Mafia. Financing is available...but not even sure the Mafia would take this bet. No more vehicles than they will sell they probably could move production to the guard shack. Builds in a tangential alternative reality... It will get re developed into low income housing. So much winning....
  14. Nothing good will come of any of this. That plant has a better chance of reverting to wilderness than building more cars.
  15. We will see more players drop out of the market. Nothing says that Mazda will survive as an independant, cars could be mostly gone other than specialty vehicles for Ford and GM, Tesla is not out of the woods, Nissan can't live indefinitely on easy financing, a lot of industry overlap everywhere. And China wants a piece of the pie.
  16. Given the people we have elected, i certainly hope so. At this point, I am so uninspired by most of what is sold that I see myself buying a used Chevy Colorado to haul lumber and tools and continuing with the woodworking thing. Finding most new rides rather passionless.
  17. Good news for me if I replace the Beetle.
  18. Driving north through Ohio to see a friend...I saw a lot of rail cars normally used for shipping new cars put into sidings normally only used for deep storage of things that will be out of service for awhile. Signs of an impending slowdown? I actually like some of each of their products. But nothing is really exciting me in terms of new product.
  19. I always love seeing a Tucker.
  20. Considering a Jeep for my next vehicle.
