Its almost like you can be one of the wealthiest places in the world and still have social issues and income inequality. Its almost like that proves the larger point about California being a microcosm of the US as a whole which also struggles with social issues and income inequality.
It is indeed silly, but the customer doesn’t have to go to Oklahoma. It can be shipped to them.
Imagine that - homeless people move to states where there’s warm weather year round, and a political system in place that doesn’t treat them like so much garbage and actually offers real support systems. Mind. Blown.
What is funny is when people compare California to other states on equal status. As a singular economy, it is a microcosm of the US; that means that it is an incubator of new businesses, a working service economy, and has a pretty robust tax requirement.

Yep. For every jackhole that loudly announces that they’re leaving California, I quietly think to myself, “thanks for helping lower real estate prices”
Exactly. I don’t particularly like Elon, or his brand of ‘business’ anyway. He’ll be happier in Texas, and that makes me happier to be from California.

The sliding table is what adds the extra power ports there though. It’s also $5000 including the sliding thing plus the cooktop. I think it’s overpriced, but it’s also a luxury truck so it’s not really any stupider than any other luxury truck. It’s not like the Lightning Platinum or Lariat Premium are cheap. Read more
Still disappointed that Rivian couldn’t spring for a set of physical buttons and real gauges, but I guess we live in an automotive dystopia now when it comes to dashboard usability. Read more
I’m impressed that this is a list of actually useful things for a truck, as opposed to the kind of “gadgets” that Tesla likes to do, such as video games in the screen or fart noises. Read more
WHERE DID OUR MUSICS GO TO??? :-(
Awesome to see anything by you, Stef. Great article.
Oh god is it good to see content from you again! Even tho it’s advertised content, the moment I saw your name I had to click on it. I miss your articles so much. Read more
Same here! I usually scroll right by sponsored content, but the byline caught my eye. Great writing from Stef, as usual! I miss her regular contributions to this site.
I never read these sponsored articles, but when I saw the byline: “Stef Schrader for Porsche Motorsport” I had to at least give it a click. And it was a good read! Stef—how awesome was it to interview Earl Bamber? Did you get to meet in person or did you just swap emails? Does he have any plans to come back to the top… Read more
