Chrome doesn't really look good on late model cars anyway
When was the last time real chrome was on any of their cars? All chrome-like pieces on my old assed Jeep are shit assed plastic.
Maybe the bumpers on some of the Ram trucks?
Any of the decorative chrome bits have been cheap plasti-chrome for something like 30 years now.
Even the trucks have chrome painted metal bumpers. Always thought it was too much
They really should make polished aluminum a thing. It's so hot looking if you take care of it.
What exactly is involved in taking care of it?
If it involves more than a couple trips through the automatic car wash a year I'd personally rather just forego the shiny bits altogether.
You usually need to buff it because calcium builds up on it. If your in the states eighteen wheelers gas tanks are usually made of aluminum and they pay good money to get them polished.
Or acid wash whitens them, but I don't like that look, since it isn't mirror finish.
That's very surprising to me, I'd always assumed tankers were stainless steel. Do they have to have a lining inside?
They would have to now days. I don't t think they originally did. My understanding is the stainless steel ones rust quickly.
Stainless doesn't really rust out as most of the iron is gone.
What are they going to use? Firefox?
with ublock origin, yes
They'll have to use some sort of mosaic.
How would that possibly give them an edge?
They might have to explore more options
You mean like a navigator?
Not sure if they would gopher that
Damnit. This thread is become a real opera at this point.
Looking more like a safari to me
A real Nexus of information.
Nice
They saw how the cybertruck is super sharp and can cut you so they intend to use Edge.
At least at one major auto maker, environmental and serious health concerns are outweighing its aesthetic appeal.
Suuurree they are. Hasn't chromium getting more expensive over the past couple years? I'm guessing this sudden concern about the environment and the health of the workers will save them quite a bit of money in the long term.
Still, credit where credit is due, at least this cost cutting measure that actually has positive benefits for once.
This is just like Apple and Samsung removing the charger from the cellphone box and claiming it's for the environment when in reality it's because now they can charge you $30+ more to buy one separately that comes in a second box.
Stellantis consistently builds some of the worst cars in the world and have been ignoring electrification for too long. They have a dim future once the Charger/Challenger are gone and this is just a cheap trick to attempt to revise their image.
Bingo, and California moving to outright ban chrome plating shops. It's all about money, always was.
Here in Detroit, Stellantis just asked for their factory to be allowed to pollute more, despite neighbors pushing back at how much they already pollute.
