It was a huge recall in the early 2000s. Over 30 million if I remember correctly. All over the news for years.

We are heading to that type of stupidity if people don't start paying attention.

Okay, so over 20 years ago. Not applicable to today.

Yes, it is applicable when I say they have a long history of fire issues.

And it continues today. Multiple recalls in the past few years for fire issues.

Looks like Toyota should also be avoided, due to fire risks.

I wouldn’t be concerned about buying a Ford on any level.

YouTube is always recommending videos and lately I see videos suggestions of Elon with a clown face and the super charger thing.

They must be getting lots of clicks making videos and monetising like that but I don't watch that click bait stuff.

​​​​​Just seems a little lame to me. Lol

As much as I do watch YouTube videos, most channels are just looking for clicks and most content is total nonsense. There are some select channels I watch for entertainment and a few independent news channels I subscribe to, but most content is a total waste of time. Which is why I don't just click on an link people share and post because then junk starts showing up in my recommended list

Musk in a spot of legal bother again, this time focused on timing and insider knowledge relating to stock sales to fund the twitter deal and, once again, a lack of board oversight and failure to act in the best interests of Tesla and shareholders.

Elon's enemies have their girl with McCormick and will go after him relentlessly.

Got to be a total coincidence. lol. Bet this case won't sit around for 6 years either. Top priority, despite the covid backlog excuse for the previous case.

We’ve already established that you have absolutely no idea how the legal process works.

We haven't established anything other than the fact that you don't know as much as you think you do. Plaid sitting in my garage proved that.
