All they need to do is bring back the Honda Fit but this time its electric. Or do an electric Odyssey.

I really think the reason people aren't getting electric cars is because they are all 20k more than the equivalent mid-size SUV and there are never any for people to test drive on a lot. At least not in my area.

TOS always, the others it depends.

My thought is that these people think that their smarter than everyone else therefore they are justified doing anything they do. On the other hand, anyone with a billion dollars got it by making a whole lot of other people poorer. And they ate neither actually geniuses nor benevolent in any other way.

The Phillip Morris CEO makes money by hooking people onto something that isn't good for them. Tech CEOs are very seldom any different. Anyone who says otherwise usually has a financial interest in making you believe them.

In the song the Sk8r boy is the hero who triumphs in the end so i think it makes sense.

Yeah i think you are right. There hasn't been a "peoples car" EV like the original beetle or even the Kia Soul.

If they could get a decent compact ev for around 25k they could sell as many as they can make i think.

I test drove one when I ended up getting my kia soul instead. It was super nice and really futuristic and cool. It was just way too expensive for me at the time. And probably still is honestly.

If they could do a proper EV Soul they'd make a customer of me every 10 or so years for the rest of my life....maybe more often if it keeps getting stolen based on their track record.

I read the article but it doesn't mention how they are counting a "view". Obviously most people on Twitter see his posts but there are so many bots on Twitter at this point, how many of those views were just that?

Pretty much every OSHA rule came from some kind of death or dismemberment of they guy before you. As a wise foreman once said, "Better a pain in the ass than your ass in pain”
