    Me: The next round of automaker bankruptcies taxpayers will be on the hook for will be from automakers who went all in on EVs to get a pat on the head from the government then using the fact that they acted under government pressure to get out from under those losses and help pay to pivot back to gas engines.

    Them: "You're crazy, EVs are the wave of the future. Here to stay."

    Yes, EV's are not cheap to produce. Ford is not the only manufacturer who are struggling; but I am sure will overcome.

    Either that, or... they will all start reporting these results separately like Ford laying the groundwork for a government bailout by showing the side of the business the government made them grow was the boat anchor.

    I’ll hit 2 years way before 25k miles. I just don’t see the need for this on my 3 for basic stuff

    got the 2nd charger hooked up. had go go 40amp breaker - 32 amp charging.

    will commission it today.

    I guaran-damn-tee you I'm gonna screw up my App charging screen.

    I guess now is the best time to hit the "start over" button in the charging section of the app.

    Kids are not in town, so I may need to borrow some cuss words from y'all. I'm sure I'll run out.

    Will the demon 170 beat a plaid?

    idk if the elevation would make a diff with that SC size but who knows.
    I am curious how the 170 does on traction as well

    1200hp demons have trouble beating the Plaid.

    If I owned a D170....I would NOT want to race a Plaid.

    This video circulated the internet quickly over the weekend. Scary stuff. Torque your spacers properly lol!

    Cammisa & Hagerty are putting out some of the best car related YouTube content at the moment. Insane production for a free video!

    On a perfectly prepped surface with the right driver, maybe. From what I have heard, nobody has been able to replicate the Demon drag strip numbers that Dodge advertises. I believe the car will do what they say, but all of the stars need to align!

    Damn. I didn’t know Tesla hires hackers to attempt to hack the model 3. The hackers won $350k and a M3. They are doing it again to try and find flaws. Pretty awesome
