@wartranslated Their stampings are crap, their fixtures are crap, their assembly sequence is probably crap (not designed to go together easily), robotic welding doesn't work when the fitment is crap, result is crap! (Used to work in this business, but not for UAZ haha)
@atrupar 40 years ago (1984): Chevy Celebrity and Citation, Ford Tempo. Taurus wasn't out yet. Chrysler K-cars. Uhh, nope. Honda and Toyota were in the process of eating the big three for lunch - deservedly. (Our '83 and '86 Accords were great cars)
@patgagnon_75 Blind allegiance to political parties. People that will vote for a certain political party (or against a certain political party) regardless of circumstances. The USA is going through some things right now, but don't be mistaken, we (Canadians) have that problem, too.
@julienvm@alojoh ... except when the wheel is rotated half a turn, your finger isn't at that spot on the steering wheel, and it's time to exit a roundabout...
@rocktstl@EZebroni If it's a 3WT then it has about 180 kWh and it will weigh a little less than the big-battery Silverado, and have a little higher cargo and tow ratings (and be a smidge more efficient). Silverado has better aero than cybertruck.
@rocktstl@EZebroni It is possible to go further at lower speeds. In the same situation the Silverado will probably do 50% more ... Out of Spec 70mph test did 254 miles in cybertruck, 329 miles in a 3WT (smaller battery) Silverado EV. Drive the Silverado slower and it'll go further, too.
@rocktstl@EZebroni No cybertruck will do that, unless you get the extra battery pack that eats up a chunk of the bed space. Testing by others has found cybertruck electrical consumption to be nothing special.
@mooroobee@Tesla If this is your retirement portfolio and is a big portion of it ... you need to diversify so that if something bad happens to any one company, your exposure is limited. TSLA is, and always has been, a high risk high volatility investment.
@SpeedSportLife If they had actually introduced this around the time they announced it 2.5 years ago, it might have been a hit. But now, a Kia EV9 is better than this in every way except (IMO) appearance. Uphill battle.
