he said it every time it is for depression. as to the PR, if Yahoo News has rocket on their front page, i guess that's all the PR.

comical is you reading this stuff. Roadster will have boosters, hence the spacex involvement. Mate Rimac already commented about it, they were exploring same idea, just too outrageous/expensive. Also the stupidest thing they are working on, but i guess it will get clicks and clicks are good.

Yeah, until PHEVs, only hybrids were Toyotas and until 4th gen, it was similar co2 to diesels for small cars but still smaller co2 for large cars. So you would buy a diesel because you get 5-10% tax discount as well. Now that changed in past 5-6 years due to emissions laws and Euro7 coming into...

There were direct incentives based on co2, for recycling old cars. And for a very long time many countries had taxes based on co2, which favored diesels, and punished petrol vehicles. Diesel fuel still has lower taxes than petrol in most European countries. Corporations also have incentives...

Uh, i understand you are from US but here we talk about worldwide sales. Diesels had up to 50% share in some european countries, which is why they were 14% worldwide. They were absolutely incentivized by taxes on both vehicles and fuel, plus large percentage of purchases were fleet. In any...

Mike, it is 1,000,000 BEVs sold worldwide in January 2024. Thats 1 million. They are not tiny portion of sales. It is worldwide 15% of all new cars purchased. This includes 3rd world countries where bev sales are close to 0. For instance - BEVs sales by percentage is now bigger than diesel at...

heh, actually, worldwide, BEV sales went up to 1 million per month, 69% increase YoY. https://jalopnik.com/a-million-evs-were-sold-last-month-as-sales-rise-69-per-1851254972 BEVs are not going anywhere... if you dont like Elon, there will be plenty of other brands to buy.

Kind of, Lexus/TMC was always known to have very light airflow on the seats. Technology of fans did not change a lot in past 10 years. Also compared to my original post, now everything is on auto and works well.

Lexus definitely does not have EV or bust mentality, all that crap is PR only. There is no actual proof they are interested in selling phevs, let alone bevs. I am not sure what news are you listening to, but BEVs are growing fast in Europe and China. A lot of stupid PR stuff in media is just...

nothing is perfect though. IE new taycan has old infotainment and not new google one from Macan, which is 1/3 of the price. I would be annoyed at 200k. I feel like 911 is completely different - i would not care about infotainment, but Taycan, Cheyenne, Macan, Panamera are more like just luxury...

Hopefully not as much since now range is good and also teething issues should be gone.

damn, $210k

830k is awesome for Lexus... I believe this year can only get better due to LBX, TX and also full availability of RX and NX this year. Both Toyota and Lexi are still filling out new orders, now I see ads about RX being available "today".

Well, HS was a sedan... they would call it LBZ or UZ if it was small cuv.

HZ? Electric sedan?

Quite possibly, they might keep F for some markets. Like in Europe, there are not F-Sport LBX or NX... but there is RX 500h F-Sport. It is weird. Then again, in US, with TX, they do have F Sport packages.

yeah, since this is mostly for Europe and JDM, too many people still remember this crap

WEC was in same position 3 years ago. I am sure they are trying and that Toyota is being involved.

apparently, most manufacturers are not finding it so banal.
