Beat me to it.  My first thought is, my kids will throw the shit out of those pillows.  But the Pinnacle is not meant for hellspawn, it’s meant for luxury/livery services.  God help you if you introduce child seats to that leather.

It’s a joke, not a dick.  Don’t take it so hard.

Agree re: Musk.  But honestly, most articles about Tesla here have some kind of skewed take on it even when unrelated and uncalled for.  Let’s all agree it’s some cool tech, Musk is a nutcase, moving on.

It WILL be the future, hence why everyone’s been jumping on board after Tesla basically POC’ed the mass appeal of EVs.  It becomes easier to adapt if you get a taste of the EV life through a PHEV - plug in electric experience with a gas engine backup.  Our Pacifica Hybrid has convinced me to dump my Charger Scat Pack…

You literally won’t - it’ll become second nature/habit to just plug your car in when you come home, and have it be fully charged when you leave in the morning.  

Just realized how genuinely nice it was to read a Tesla article without any snark or hot takes. Thank you, Jason.

We have a 360 deg camera in our Pacifica which displays next to the rearview camera. I don’t think I’ve looked at the rearview mirror once.

I’ve warmed up greatly to the Model 3's center screen but are you proposing physically using those iPhones while they’re docked?  That’s not a good option.

This is a good example though for a high-mounted screen, which unfortunately always looks like a tablet plopped sloppily onto a dashboard. Look at how far your eyeline has to drop from level to see any of the information on the screen.

Not into a garage! Why would you do that, and blow carbon monoxide into a closed space/towards a house in the morning when you start the car?

What kind of take is this? For anyone with a driveway (and subsequently a garage) why would you back into it? So that when you start the car in the morning, you can blow carbon monoxide towards your house or into your kitchen?

As backup cameras are a federal mandate now, I doubt having it as an optional attachment would pass federal requirements. Interesting thought experiment but a non-starter.

I had that experience at LAX but with Payless. I literally waited 45 minutes at the car rental shuttle booth watching other companies come by 8x times. Finally I took a cab the .75 mile to the Payless office where I sat in line another 30 minutes.  Everything was work expensed except my fucking time.  

I’m assuming you live in Hawaii. I was in Maui for a week last year and even I got sick of seeing so many gd V6 rental convertible Mustang and Camaros driving around. If that matters to you at all, the choice is clear.

I’m always in awe at the level of engineering and knowledge that goes into construction.  I wish my parents pushed me into a technical field instead of business.  I was up in Taipei 101 and marveling over the mass damper in place to deal with winds and earthquake effects for the skyscraper - amazing stuff.

Always appreciate a well-timed, out-of-left-field yo mama joke. Never gets old.

Assuming best case 0%, you get to pay full vehicle price at the 36 month 1 day mark?  Interesting take.

Every time my kids want a snack or a treat I take a bite.  I call it the Dad Tax.  Might be something similar going on here.

Ironically, if Big Orange owned up to even an iota of humility and ownership rather than full blown defense of his shit management and leadership, and pivoting to big this and beautiful that and false hopes, he’d actually garner more favor and translate that into more votes among the few undecideds left in this…
