In six months Teslas have gone from status symbols to the automotive equivalent of MAGA hats. It’s astonishing; I’ve never seen any brand lose so much goodwill for such a stupid reason before.

Moreover, according to Tesla, buyers should have been well aware of the limitations of these systems before purchasing them, based on Tesla’s disclaimers on its website and owners’ manuals.

Sweet! Now I can buy a 2018 4Runner with 60K miles for only $3000 more than the original owner paid for it!

The kind of people who are opposed to masks to reduce spreading illness usually have so much bullshit coming out their mouths they don’t want to smell their own breath.

“The only vehicles on its upcoming docket right now are the Semi, Cybertruck, and Roadster.”

Wasn’t it always the plan that eventually everyone else would eat away at Tesla’s market share because Tesla was the “catalyst” for the entire market shift?  Turns out, shareholders must not share the same view.

1st Gear: It’s underrated how much the design of the vehicle matters in safety. Tool access, clearance, weight of subcomponents, etc are all heavily considered in DFMEAs and DVP&Rs at experienced automakers. You don’t fix the problems with just the plant, it’s tough.

I know for a fact that new car prices are coming back down to earth. Early this year I was helping my mom shop for a car. Back then RAV4 Prime’s were going for $10k over. Now they are going at MSRP. In fact a couple days ago I just passed by a Toyota dealer (One Toyota in Oakland) that has a huge sign out front : “…

Jalopnik had a press car stolen in Detroit.

Probably the most widely reported was Patrick George’s crash of the pre-production Camaro. My personal fave was when Orlove orloved the 124 Spider Abarth into a utility pole.

Sometimes a station will have a green handle for gasoline.

Using a $20 off-the-shelf drone

I dunno, I can’t see this in ANY other way than a guy making a joke about “maybe i’ll buy twitter” then impulsively deciding to do that, and then stepping on every possible rake thereafter.

That’s about the right price for an auto trans LS 4th gen. I’d hold out for a stick but someone who likes going straight for 1320 ft would probably pay that.

Every one who reads this should love this car. Cheap speed and performance.  NP

The SAE J2807 standard takes braking into account, as well as stability with the weight. These two things are likely the main limitations of a 25 year old frame and drum brakes. GM started using the standard in 2012 (MY13), Ford and Ram followed in 2014 (MY15)

What I don’t understand is why you think nothing has changed in 25 years.
