From Oceangate to Stargate in one small step.

Welp, these people are as good as dead. Why anyone would choose to trust this maniac’s technology with no fail-safe 870 miles from Earth with zero oxygen in some kind of experiment in real space is beyond comprehension.

Hey, no pressure.

Last year, Jalopnik covered the story of puffy coats posing major risks for kids in car seats due to the looseness of the straps - comment consensus was that the media outlet was embellishing by deliberately keeping the buckle extremely loose - but puffy coats aside, it amazes me how many kids I see in car seats being…

You’re damn lucky you didn’t get tazed or lead-poisoned.

I’m not even convinced of that. The BAT/Mecum (or whatever the auctioneer of the day) darlings are going to be the Hellcat variants. Maybe they have more than delivery miles, but there are going to be plenty of garage queen Deamons on the auction block. Nobody is going to care about a standard SRT-8 even if it looks…

If you want to buy a low-miles “investment”, this seems like a HELL of a lot safer bet. It probably still won’t keep pace with the stock market, but at least it’s more fun to look at in your climate-controlled expensive storage unit than a stack of stock certificates. You can’t drive it, of course, that would hurt the…

Harley Davidson should sue this guy for not buying a Harley.

Yeah this story is pretty lazy or obtuse about the mileage issue. Who is going to be a successful Lyft/Uber driver with a 10k mile per year limit??

“Iffa you donna invest alla your money inna this righta now, you gotta aska yourself whatsa wronga with you?”

No, you’re not. The situation of not testing every vehicle sold for operations on public highways effectively creates a ‘some people are above the law’ situation and don’t have to comply with regulations. This is a situation where the NHTSA needs to take a firm hand.  No test results, no clearance to sell.…

That is what I am thinking too. I feel like there should be a sales threshold or something. Once you sell over 100, 500 or 1000 (IDK the real number, just throwing out suggestions) of that vehicle you have to provide vehicles for crash testing?

Maybe the NHTSA knows that the Incel Camino won’t be around long enough for testing to matter...?

It would seem like something as different as the Cybertruck would warrant prioritization....

Shouldn’t the automakers have to give cars for the government to test? Maybe I’m overstepping the reach of our .gov here, but it seems like this should be how all cars are tested. I’m not expecting a niche brand (Bugatti, Rimac, etc.) to give a car for this due to limited production, but I would certainly think…

I’m definitely in the camp of “infotainment should not cross with vehicle control”.

You’re right: I shouldn’t need to use the infotainment screen to do any critical vehicle functions. Problem solved!

You know he does have a point about leaving one screen to do vehicle functions. It would be amazing if something as simple as a button located to the left of the steering wheel could open that frunk in one simple push! Seems so obvious but alas that’s just a feat of engineering we can’t accomplish

Video?  Nope.

Maybe he should stop signaling left and then swerving to the right.
