  1. Sorta true sorta not. It implies that Tesla had some sort of magic but what it really was was funding from the legacies. For many of the early years of Tesla, the only way they made money was buy selling clean energy credits to the legacy makers. Big gas trucks literally funded Tesla's growth. The legacies didn't get tax dollars for EVs until later. The Bolt was developed with GM knowing it would lose money on it because GM would never be able to sell the clean energy credits like Tesla did. The big tax incentives same later after 2020 during the Biden administration and it was the only way the legacies didn't lose their shirt on EVs. But if you think about it. Ford, GM, Chrysler, Nissan, Volkswagen, and Subaru can't even make a profitable mid-size sedan right now, much less make money on EVs.
  2. Most of that is old stuff. M5 processor is out now and six of those devices are M3s, one is an M2 iPad. The iPhone 15 Pro an Pro Max were not some of Apple's best work and we're on 17 now. I just can't with 4-cylinder turbos on premium aiming products. No one has really fixed the NVH of these engines and they all sound terrible. I'd really rather a small displacement 6 cylinder, say 2.5 liters with a turbo for premium stuff. Buick to Benz, they all sound bad.
  3. Yeah, and if you’re a dumb dumb, like I expect that user was they left the key fob inside the car
  4. I think that was “user error” of the person who was driving that particular vehicle.
  5. RIP IS and LS
  6. I'm going to reserve judgement on this until I see it. I think the pictures may be not doing it justice. The recent BMWs look better in person than in photos. They got the GM curse. China may be coming to your rescue. If I can get some room to breathe this weekend, I've been meaning to write up an article about it.
  7. I mean, even the regular sport models can skedaddle faster than anyone should be skedaddling. The Magma versions are going to be insane. Boost mode in the existing models makes you feel like a cartoon character. Boost mode in the Magma will launch you into low earth orbit and you'll knock out some of Elon's Starlink satellites.
