Excellent. Well deserved.

I hope Canadian special forces reach out and touch Elon right in his heart. Make it grow 3 sizes that.

All-new Nissan LEAF

Reimagined as a sleek and spacious family-friendly crossover, the third-generation all-new Nissan LEAF pairs substantial improvements in aerodynamics with a more advanced EV architecture.

As a first for the iconic EV nameplate, the all-new LEAF will be available with 19-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic moonroof. For the North American market, a NACS charging port is also integrated – the first time for a Nissan EV – enabling convenient access to the Tesla Supercharger network.

The all-new LEAF sits on Nissan’s modular CMF-EV platform (which debuted with the Ariya). Efficient energy management, streamlined packaging and enhanced driving performance from Nissan's new 3-in-1 EV powertrain, are expected to help deliver significant range improvements over the previous generation. Further details will be shared mid-year.

I was wondering when the next Leaf would come out as the first one was super long in the tooth but this is excellent!

‘Tesla Wins, Detroit Bleeds’: Why Elon Musk’s Tesla Is Less Impacted By Auto Tariffs Than Peers

Musk says Tesla is “NOT unscathed” from Trump’s tariffs, but auto industry analyst consensus suggests Tesla has a far smoother tariff road than other American carmakers.

www.forbes.com

Compared to its legacy peers Ford, General Motors and Chevrolet, and Jeep parent Stellantis, Tesla is “best off” from Trump’s new trade directives, Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu wrote in a Thursday note to clients.

Unlike its Michigan-based counterparts (U.S. operations for the Dutch Stellantis are headquartered in the state), Tesla assembles all of its vehicles in the U.S., shielding it from the worst of the blanket import taxes.

But the company’s only major imported auto parts potentially facing the new tariffs are wire harnesses from Mexico, according to Deutsche Bank, which forecasts a 1.8% corresponding price increase needed for Tesla to offset the costs associated with the levies, a fraction of the 5.8% or more necessary increases faced by Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.

“Tesla wins, Detroit bleeds,” Bernstein analysts led by Daniel Roeska declared Thursday. “Tesla is the clear structural winner…. For everyone else, this is a margin reset and real drag on near-term earnings power,” Roeska continued.

Ahaha, Nissan Leaf and Toyota Prius coming for a vengeance, if it was a star wars movie they'd call it "The Cuck Cage Strikes Back".

Oh great, another car being turned into a crossover 🙄. So called "enviromentally friendly" car would've been more environmentally friendly if it isn't carrying the extra bulk and aerodynamic drag that a crossover/CUV body has over a regular hatchback.

 

[Och]

My favorite reviewer just did the Cybertruck. Hilarious review, as always.

It occurred to me last night fighting this crappy pollen unable to sleep that this tarriff will really help Tesla sell those crap Robotaxis since people can’t afford cars no more.

So much for the “free market”.

There are no Tesla robotaxis.

There are no Tesla robotaxis.

It’s in the pipeline

 

[Och]

It’s in the pipeline

It's just a grift to separate naive idiots from their money. This tech has stalled at about 60% 8 years ago, and will remain there indefinitely.

Not sure I’d call Yahoo a legitimate unbiased survey source, especially with a sample size of only 1677.

Not sure I’d call Yahoo a legitimate unbiased survey source, especially with a sample size of only 1677.

A sample size of 1,677 gives you >99% confidence interval for a 250 million adult population with only a 3% margin of error.

Why comment on something you know you don't know?

This entire political movement is based on overconfident people who don't know anything about the stuff theyre commenting on.

Reading those surveys out of america is so embarassing.

137,000,000 American adults read at or below the level of an 11 year old child.
That is absolutely wild. It also explains how consistently america is the only place even the stupidest options in a survey will see 20 to 30% support.
If 137 million are at or below a mental age of 11, that means about 70 million americans are barely functional, severely developmentally delayed and largely illiterate.

21% of all americans are illiterate.
Only 8 out of 10 Americans can read or write.

Absolutely unreal. What a complete wasteland. The highest GDP on earth and your education levels are below subsaharan Africa.

Location of the sample and/or target audience can make a pretty large difference in the outcome of the survey. Surveys are pretty easily manipulated. A political survey taken in New York City is going to have very different results than a survey taken in Mesa, AZ. A survey taken by Yahoo is going to have a very different outcome then a survey taken by Fox. But, by your logic, those online surveys I see with 98% of a 10,000 person sample saying Trump is doing a good job should be trusted? This was discussed in a college statistics class I took. Even graph charts can be easily manipulated by using truncated axis or vertical/horizontal exaggeration. I would expect a bit more critical thinking from someone who likes to tout their intellectual superiority.

As for the rest of the post related to education, I totally agree with you. I spent a good bit of my youth outside the United States, and aside from college, I have not experienced the public education system here. But, you're right, it is lagging. The Department of Education has failed the American people. Your post proves that. Maybe Trump is right. Lets abolish the DOE and let states run their own education programs. It's worth a try anyway.
