So silly me kind of likes new Tesla
The roof line is insultingly ugly as are some other "design" elements but a second gen slightly massaged would be cool. I likely won't ever own one but rich people are buying them even with 3M taped iPads and toilet bowl plunger rubber steering wheels.
I gotta give Tesla credit, they know how to raise stock prices and bring actual products to the market on OPPs dime. They know how to get solid range from their cars. I like that they are American, and that they aren't afraid to be different.

TACOS are going to be built in the HOME OF THE TACO.
That means US based 's probably shot up in value... just like the MK6 golf did...

Production has been split. Not sure on the percentage of Tacos sold in the US were made in the US.

I drove one when they first came out. The sticker was something like $45K and absolutely no room to budge on price. After driving it, the salesman asked me what I thought, and I told him that I didn't see the value in the truck. There is absolutely no reason for me to spend $45,000 on a Gladiator when there are Rams in the very same lot that are much nicer, much more capable, and have the same sticker price plus $10,000+ in rebates.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 4:29 pm https://jalopnik.com/jeep-dealers-are-r ... 1841329936

I agree with your assessment. I’d take a Ram over one. I don’t off-road tho. I am the 99.95%.
