DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


I guess the point is that people are likely to continue not buying cars for the foreseeable future.

It's a double whammy. Many people who need cars for their livelihood aren't going to be able to afford them and those who can afford them have their cars sitting idle in their driveway right now not accruing wear and tear.

Eventually people will be going back into the office and commuting again, but I have a feeling that another fallout from all of this is large number of people not returning to the office full time, continuing to suppress demand for new vehicles.

He just bought a warehouse full of surplus Chinese units that the Chinese no longer needed and shipped them.

It's still a net good if Elon absorbed the 5x markup on them rather than the hospitals.

Watch GM put out a commercial about how filters are for pussies because their ventilator doesn't have one.

In theory, sure.


However they need to be incredibly reliable and highly adjustable for variation with various modes based on pathophysiology, and highly sensitive for things like tidal volume, leaks, etc.

I was on a ventilator 8 times in March and I think knowing there are General Motors ones out there would have genuinely worried me.

I bet the ventilator you used and the company that made it didnt even have a single JD Power award.

Just watched the Doug Demuro Tesla Model Y review, and I cant stop laughing at the following:

-The rear middle seat's huge Gate Latch Arm sticking out when the middle seat is down. I know other vehicles have a metal piece, but that seems huge, and it sticks way out.
-The Front seat's being on stilts/platforms in order to reuse the Model 3 seats but make them sit higher up.

I hadn't noticed either of these things on previously released pics or videos.

Looking forward to the latch handle of death recall. That think will RIP AND TEAR in the right (wrong?) kind of accident.

That’s not at all unusual, just stands out a bit more since they cheaped out on putting a sliding tray or cubby under there.

Mind blown I’ve never seen or heard of this, and I have driven lots of rental cars and rend to look broadly at the market every few years when I change vehicles. Maybe I just haven’t looked at this kind of truck or suv?

My dad's Mazda had that. I only found out that it had that on the day I cleaned it to get it recycled. There were 12 gauge shells there that were probably 20 or so year old at that point.

Ford doubled down on gas guzzlers and the price of gas here is half of what it was a year ago so i think they'll be fine. It wouldn't surprise me if they bailed on the baby bronco to make room on the lots for a new Excursion
