Musk is not the only Republican that has disagreed with Navarro, or his extreme and confrontational approach on tariffs.  Musk has just been more open and vocal about it. Fortunately, IMO, there have been many really smart and experienced people working hard to keep the wheels from coming off the US economy thus far.  My concern is that even if cooler heads prevail long term, some of the damage done already will not be reversible; at least for a very long time.

But he keeps kissing Trump's ass.   That was Musk's term for him..he also called him "Peter Retardo".  

I’m sorry for calling him out, I’m just worried about the consequences for ordinary people.  

In fairness, nothing prevents that from occurring today no matter what vehicle one drives.  On long trips my wife watches movies just as when in a plane.  I have never done it, nor would I, but a driver could do the same.     Yeah, me too.  I always store out of site when parked for that reason, and often take it with me anyway because the larger screen of Mini makes use easier than phone.  Have to admit I only take iPad on longer trips.  Most trips which are close to home I don’t need or use GPS at all.  I think that’s approach Slate is taking — don’t add cost on things that are rarely used or needed.

I would assume there’ll be a more conventional plug in infotainment system too. My concern with the iPad is potential for theft. 

I believe they have an accessory that allows you to bring an iPad/tablet into the vehicle to act as the screen. Not practical for all, but I am sure there are folks that would utilize it for gps or music control…. I wonder how many will use it to watch videos while driving. 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Dumber than a sack of bricks”?  😀   Whoever thought the entire planet would cow down in fear without pushing back hard doesn’t understand humanity, or different cultures at all.

Peter Navarro is a dope.

That’s a good question.  I don’t know but see similarity in size to the smaller previous generation.  Toyota site shows 2026 Crown with shorter length, etc., so even if related apparently hasn’t been updated to recent all-new platform yet.  The new ES is offered both HEV or BEV, so maybe Crown will follow.   An apparent difference is that on new Lexus ES, they went from base fuel-efficient and proven 2.5L hybrid to all-electric and skipped the optional and newer Crown’s 2.4L Turbo hybrid option.  Obviously turbo hybrid offers more power, but given fuel efficiency is so much lower than more-traditional hybrid powertrain, it makes little sense to me.  I still think most hybrid buyers are biased towards fuel efficiency more than acceleration.  Buyers who value acceleration more so may go to a BEV, leaving Turbo hybrid in no man’s land.

Peter Navarro is a Harvard grad.  By definition that means he has no common sense..part of the curriculum in the Ivy League🤔
