Whichever Jalopnik staffer that has driven Mazda’s Skyactiv-X should drive this thing and tell us how the two compares.

I wish they would just bring the Transporter and all variants of it. P/U version would definitely offer something unique to the US marketplace and set the brand apart from even the Ridgeline. And the vans? Have you seen how prices for Vanagons and Westfalias have skyrocketed over the years? VW claims they don’t…

I kind of lost it at this:

I doubt it was done for aero. It’s just a more organic design. Look at the overall design of the car. It’s all leaning towards being organic.

It’s more organic that way. Like eyes se just behind a skin. Look at yourself in the mirror. Are the surface of your eyeballs flush with your eyelids? How strange (horrific) would you look if your eyeballs and eyelids created a continuous?

I think it’s you that’s making it a bigger deal than it is; i.e., reading too much into what is said. They are simply expressing their displeasure.

It’s not just that guy, but also the guy who switched on the green light and released the cars.

Ugh. What the Haas?!

I don’t think they were wrong. Sky’s coverage is good in itself. It’s what ESPN did on top of it that is messed up. Another example, I watch F1 via DVR and when I go to play the practice session all I get is some annoying sports talk show with only 5 minutes or so fo the FP session intro at the very end of the…

F1's web stream is not live yet and no telling when, just like the ManicDan says. If you pay $$$ for the F1 app, there is probably live timing and streaming from the on-board of some (if not all) of the cars.

It’s worth remembering that this was a project product of the Bubble Era

The difference between a blog and a professional news outlet/publication.

It is said that of the entire industry, they spend the least amount of time per car on the production line.

Is that even racing?

Did I, at any time, state that the world is indeed a fair place? No shit, Sherlock. It isn’t. I’m simply saying happy workers = better productivity. I’m simply saying the attention on Tesla shouldn’t all be on Musk. Tesla isn’t just one man. And Tesla wasn’t just Musk. There were other key partners in the beginning.…

I hold shares. I know what he does. And I never said the workers are working for free. I am simply saying that I don’t think their sole reward for busting their asses for Elon should be: “be thankful you have a job at all”.

Fair point. But the visionaries alone can’t and don’t make dreams into reality. Everyone plays a part, big or small.

Eh. I don’t care how wealthy he is. All I’m saying is the workers who actually build the cars deserve a shot at their own incentive as well. All attention thus far is on Musk. He alone isn’t the one sweating to literally build the cars.

What he does with it is none of my business. I just question the intent of the incentive when he alone isn’t the one putting the cars together and sweating to turn his often off-the-cuff promises into reality. Happy workers = better products. This is a notion that is lost in the American business mindset.

Hint: click bait.
