Agreed. On top of that, blowing the Raptor out of the water in numbers isn’t necessarily going to translate into anything other than bragging rights.

I’m not a truck guy, but I’m trying to understand how you need anything more than the Raptor’s output to do the job these are designed for. Traction surely will be an…

Embarrassed is the right word. I lived and breathed the tuner scene from the mid aughts to the mid teens, first via games and media then in the flesh with my 350z. This thing looks like a Civic (which is already a very busy design) with a tacked on bodykit overnighted from Japan circa 2005.

I would not be caught DEAD…

This is exactly it. You don’t have to be sympathetic, but you can be apathetic. What you can’t be is happy about someone else getting the raw end of a deal.  That makes you a dick.

Agreed. I complain about crap at work to co workers daily. I complained to AT&T about a screw job on my bill this week. I also care about the global catastrophe around us.  Not mutually exclusive things.

As ever, not everybody gets the Tesla shine. Gravity works differently in Fremont.

I mean, there’s a lot of truth in what you say. There are certain C-suite roles, like CFO, that don’t really require much creativity, innovation, or leadership from the individual.

But others, like CTO/CIO, can be absolutely critical to a company’s success. Technology officers generally have the authority to select the…

Just... no.

Hyperbole and sarcasm of all the people below aside, as another posted mentioned 500 is big for taking trips, which is infrequent and yes could be solved with a rental, but still a thing. Especially if air travel continues to be less than ideal.

I’ve expressed range anxiety before, but only for sub-200 ranges.…

Lukewarm take:

This car is more handsome than the current offering, and I’d rather drive this than the monstrosity on dealer lots, despite being 10 years older and down a ton of power/performance.

Also, NP.  Seems a tad cheaper than CL comparisons around me.

This is it. Got my old bins out for our kids (8, 4, 3) this summer a few times a week to do long sessions. I enjoyed making the spaceships, submarines, and racecars, and houses for them, and they enjoyed playing with them when I was done. It was a huge win/win.

Well, except the part where the tables turned and my wife…

Gizmodo has been on this layout for some weeks. I have muscle memory built already to click “latest”, so I’ll just do that here.

Only when I’m bored at work like I was yesterday afternoon :) I often go days without commenting on anything depending on workload.  WFH life I guess.

No, it doesn’t? Dying on a hill means taking a hard stance on something and not backing Itdown from it no matter what others say. It doesn’t mean forcing others to agree with you.

I don’t see where anyone, either in the comments on this article or the Torch article from a few years back, said it would change anything by not referring to four door CUVs as coupes. Do you? If not, what are you on about?

I mean, I absolutely see your stance even though it’s a goalpost shift after being proven wrong :)  None of this really matters and it’s all silly.

Fanboys can’t even defend this.  I think I got into it with one of them back in Torch’s original article.  There are a lot of cool things about Teslas I like.  The touchscreen doing almost everything is NOT one of them.  It’s form over function, and in this case so much so that it’s dangerous. 

Not only that, but just the completely obtuse stance Raph takes is mind-numbing. Read this:

Holy shit, this. I am no fanboy either but I’m sure I look like it because I feel half my comments these days are calling out Raph and Erik on their crusade against Tesla because... reasons?  This may be the worst take yet.
