    Whatever floats your boat... I FUCKING HATE THE FUCKING DESERT. Been there, done that...the damage done...I love greenery and going out to the islands and lakes.. ?
  2. Robert Hall
    Remember, I lived there 9 years...yes, winter is nice.. May through October it beyond sucks. Hell on Earth. Too many triple digit days. A sea of beige stucco houses in the burbs, ugly, ugly desert shit beyond that, dust and crap and unrelenting heat. Now up north is nice--I liked Prescott, Jerome, Flagstaff.. I do miss my pool, the January car auctions, and a few restaurants..but that's about it...

    Have had both in the last 24 hours...freezing rain changing to snow...about 6 inches of snow so far over the ice. About 30 outside. And it was almost 60 Monday-Tuesday. More snow in the winter means my trees and yard will be green and healthy, so I don't mind it. I love the greenery as opposed to dust and beige everything in the desert void..

    Yeah, first I'd heard of that..pretty cool...I was familiar with the name David Brown (was the DB in Aston Martin history), but this is new to me..

    Good point....so yes, you might 'own' your Tesla, but Elon has the right to update or remove the crapware at anytime... EVs at this point only make sense as a lease, wouldn't want to 'own' one... I won't buy new either, but I wouldn't buy a used Tesla either...they are just lease appliances... the long term aspect of Teslas is too questionable. As appliances, it's best to just recycle them after a few years...imagine how miserable life will be for some schmuck stuck with a dead 10 yr old Model S.. FTS. It's like a cell phone, you don't want to be carrying around one that is 5 or 10 years old...

    Rob, never ‘Bob’. I’m the anti-Bob.
  7. Robert Hall
    Yeah, the Atlas is cheaper and dumbed down for the US market compared to the Touareg.
  8. Robert Hall
    Nah. FTS...
  9. Robert Hall
    Those were the 1st gen models, a long time ago. The current 3rd gen models of each are sufficiently differentiated.

    Those headlights look great in the closeup pic...I'm sure I'll like it in person. Love the interior. Looking forward to sitting in one at an auto show..looks like it would be a great road trip SUV.
  11. Robert Hall
    It would be in however they measure power for EVs...watts of output? Rods per hogshead? Liters per hectare?
  12. Robert Hall
    Or in Nissan terms, not a NISMO, GT-R or SE-R spec....just a basic pickup, torque counts for hauling stuff...
  13. Robert Hall
    It all fits into software EULAs...like if you buy a used computer or phone..do you own any apps already on that phone or computer, or are entitled to software updates to the OS? Seems like a gray area...
  14. Robert Hall
    It does flow well with the lights..but it is a bit small for the current era..everything is about big grilles now...the new grille makes it look more related to the 300..
  15. Robert Hall
    There is probably something in the fine print that gives Tesla the right to enable/disable features like this.
  16. Robert Hall
    Maybe in 2031..

    It's hardly rocket surgery or anything new, the idea of solar charging for EV batteries has been around for a while... https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/28/teslas-musk-rejects-solar-on-cars-its-not-stopping-toyota-hyundai.html
  18. Robert Hall
    I could see the solar panel useful when parked in a lot like where I used to work in Chandler, AZ...10-12 hrs a day of sunshine in horrific triple digit heat day after day...
  19. Robert Hall
    Isn't that special. So it's sorta 600 somethings.
  20. Robert Hall
    Maybe the diesel will be 600D?
  21. Robert Hall
    I seem to recall that a couple of years ago the Mustang was the top selling sports coupe worldwide...
  22. Robert Hall
    Yeah, with full size I can't see off-roading a new one...now with Jeeps, it's different... back in the day, I had my '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee on rocky back country trails outside Crested Butte and Aspen, Co a week after buying it new..
  23. Robert Hall
    I liked the Art & Science styling quite a bit..esp. the sharp edges...in a world of lumpen blobular design, it stood out...the vertical headlights were a strong Cadillac styling cue, modern yet retro--harkening back to the stacked lights on the '65-68 Cadillacs.
  24. Robert Hall
    When they switch to BEV powertrains?
  25. Robert Hall
    I can't imagine many people off road full size luxury SUVs..maybe .00000000001 percent of buyers... Land Rovers and Range Rovers maybe in the UK have off-roading fans, but not much in the US beyond the off-road image..
