Real talk, EV ppl: The cost of hv battery pack replacements are a real problem for the used market. The risk associated with buying an out-of-warranty EV and a potential $10,000+ repair is significant.

If you were employed in any capacity by and EV-only OEM and make the pivot to a bullshit EV plane, EV boat, or EV camper startup, all of your peers are actively making fun of of you. The industry as a whole, all the way from the Detroit big 3 to the 3 SF dumpster fires, views you as an even bigger joke than the typical Kool-Aid mainlining drone making $55k/year working at a service center. Imagine failing forward and Peter Principal-ing yourself into being the director of whothefuckcares just to be shitcanned by a VP who is just as—if not more—incompetent than you. You then have to reflect on a career of politicking, labor violations, and lying to yourself/underlings for 10+ years just to make 2/3rds of the earning equivalent as the Senior Manager of Business Development & Partnerships at poWersHIfT Ev Boats lmao. I’m glad you people hit a filter, doesn’t matter that it hit late. You’re not a vet/expert just because you did sale paperwork with customers during Model 3 hell, you were a warm body in a seat at the right place and the right time.

Replying to @hasanthehun
The issue is that the left regularly frames disabled ppl, trans ppl, any marginalized identity that they view as “cringe” as “wokescolds”. There are selfish dicks all over, but somehow the only ppl the left is seeking to “purge” are the most marginalized. Why do u think that is?

I don't care what anybody says about me. I will not stop fighting to defend America's cultural identity, for the next generation to have the opportunity to live a good life, and to ensure that my kids grow up in a nation that they recognize.

He moved to Naperville
I moved to Chicago two weeks ago. Here are the highlights so far. - Clean city - Da Bears - Great food - West Loop is chiller version of NYC Soho/Meatpacking - No scaffolding on every other building like NYC - September weather is elite - Midwest nice (fake or not) is happening - Golf courses everywhere So far its 10/10 on the relocation. Ask me anything.

Exciting news, poor timing and rollout. They're planning cuts for 50k workers, and that's still a taste in people's mouths, especially the Europeans. VW sentiment is at all time low worldwide and I need that meme of people blowing their heads smoove off while Chine does nothing and wins. Century of humiliation for the European automaker incoming and enemy ships are already at America's shores. Chinese EVs are just the conclusion of a decade of mismanagement, poor integrations, and greed. RIP @GM, @Ford, and @Stellantis; VW is the first domino to fall.

There's no way this will: 1.) match any hype 2.) make anyone that put money down on it happy I was/am too comfortably middle class to have contributed towards a reservation, so nothing I have to say matters anyway. There is a zero % chance I will ever sit in one of these outside of a press car. That's the post, you can stop reading there. Bet $1 the engineering + design teams didn't phone this in (it likely will turn out an objectively 'good' product) but every new model/refresh this company spits out will be predicated by the buying public's reaction to the Cybertruck both in the new and secondary markets. Every rollout, every design decision, every new implementation of tech will have the baggage of the Cybertruck. Take that, and combine it with the only dialogue I see online coming from tech reviewers—who forked up hella $$$ a skrillion years ago to reserve something that didn't exist outside of renderings—makes it hard to see where Tesla owns the narrative and spins it positively during the first round of reviews. Normal people don't care about this car. Weird people don't care about this car. Sociopaths don't care about this car. Anyone that even remotely has this car on their radar only cares about the public circus of development and release. Give the first review units to Cammisa and Farah , if I'm gonna have anybody in a tshirt that's too long or a screenprinted hoodie review it, might as well be those two and they have to kiss at the end.
Go for launch
