This is dumb!!!

Y’all were bashing Tesla and this attempt for an entire week about this. gg

No, second battery with a battery isolator. I installed a 150AH gel cell in the back of my Kia Soul with one of these guys: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058SGDFK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No reason to convert to AC to convert to DC just to charge a battery to the same level thats coming…

Nice article, and some solid tips. #1 would be a 2nd battery, with an isolater relay, to power up whatever else you want to run while the rig isn’t running. Also, one minor correction, you said, “and then charge the battery with the inverter while you’re driving the next day", but that would be the alternator doing…

Never mind performance. Apparently all I am supposed to care about is panel gaps.

But these won’t rust.

Would you shut up about the panel gaps already? They fixed that issue ages ago. Citation: https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a28008116/tesla-model-3-build-quality-bob-lutz/

The anti-Tesla bias is deep. Yesterday, Jalopnik was mocking Tesla for not having a track time. Today, they are twisting Elon’s tweets in the worst way. They aren’t there to set a dumb record, the goal is to be the fastest electric car and faster than the Taycan, to show they have better quality in every aspect.…

I know it’s really easy to be snarky and leaf a witty response about how this probably wont work, and how Tesla is notorious for making over complicated things that break. Yeah yeah yeah, you’re not wrong.

I thought we were car people.. Don’t we like weird cars, even if they’re flawed? No, we like weird cars because th…

There’s nothing like low-profile tires and giant rims for good off-roading.

No reason this article needs to be longer than one sentence: they are too expensive.

at some point maybe corporate America will realize selling $35-55k cars is difficult if there is no middle class

tesla man bad ha-ha amiright boys?

Yeah it seems pretty obvious. Existing insurers will think “it’s too new and scary, therefore we have to charge more,” whereas Tesla can say “actually no, and here’s the numbers, therefore we charge less”

This is actually a brilliant move. Insurers pay retail price for repairs, and the pass through retail cost of parts to fix a car (or a negotiated rate which is less than retail, but still much above cost). If the car is totaled, they pay the full market value in cash.

I want to know what these thieves plan to do with the car once it’s stolen? They can’t shut it off without needing a key to move it again and I’m sure Tesla can track the location down in a matter of seconds. If they were to strip it for parts, do they have a pre-constructed faraday cage to block the tracking services…

Making minivans cool is the first step to getting people to buy them in droves again.  The TJ Cruiser is definitely a step in that direction.

THIS is a 1939 Porsche Type 64. It’s the Porsche before Porsches were Porsches, before the 356 and 911 were even a thought in anyone’s mind. In fact, it’s a Porsche from a time before Volkswagens were even Volkswagens. It is considered to be the very first Porsche, ever - and today I’m going to review it.

“Hey people actually really want this thing! Stick it in the “never build” file with all the others.”

I hate this argument because realistically, how many people are going to track their car? Even then, how many of these people are going to be running timed laps? How many drivers are actually going to be able to utilize those precious .05 seconds saved with a quicker shift? Lastly, it doesn’t matter, because it’s…
