I have never driven a Polestar car but have sat in one. It felt much nicer and better screwed together than any Tesla I have been in.

The Luqiao CMA Super Factory isn’t really a “Geely (discount product)“ facility, since it’s largely operated by the Volvo (premium product) division and is used for models on the CMA platform - which includes Geely, Volvo and Link & Co. and is largely used on the more expensive products they sell. Complaining about…

‘Me own big truck. Big, big truck. It has traction because it is big truck—big, big truck. The sleet means nothing. Me drive fast anyway. Big, big tru—” BLAM!

Musk is a born rich asshole who had/has generational wealth from his family’s fucking ruby mine in S. Africa. Hes leveraged said unearned wealth into early stakes in paypal, a great hairplug job and then forcing his way into tesla.

Elon would have to want that kind of person in his life though, and I’ve seen no indication that he does.

Tesla Roadster will do 0-60 in 1.9 and the prototype already achieves that.

With EVs, grip isn’t all about tires. Traction control on EVs is much more precise than on a traditional piston engine. EVs have the unique ability to adjust power delivery to an extremely fine level.

Looks like a prime candidate for an Ls swap.

Jeez. The 6th Gen Camaro has been an absolute FLOP.

The twin-supercharged V12 Ferrari exploded? How unusual.

Tesla’s biggest asset has, for a while, been hype. That’s why a single fatal accident is even mentioned in an article like this. How many fatal accidents did it take until people noticed Toyotas were accelerating uncontrollably? But since Tesla seemingly leads the industry in semi-autonomous driving and has an…

Actually, they all have problems. The difference is they’re more risk averse so they are more careful on how they plan/design things to address the problems or avoid them altogether.

There have been a number of ‘hit’ pieces against Tesla recently, the most ridiculous being that they’re ‘over automating’ their production line, which cited research articles from over 30 years ago. The shorts are just wanting to get out before they report that they’re much closer to their estimated model 3 deliveries…

Depends on the year, but the cost of repairs and maintenance on a Mercedes is typically higher than an Acura. Despite both being luxury cars.

The U.S. does this shit, too.

I think at $2500 new, it’s not even pretending to.

I’m inclined to agree with you, though I doubt this is hypersonic. But yes, it’s almost certainly a SSM of some sort.

Just because something is small, fast and unexplained it must be aliens, great logic. Aren’t most non Western aligned nations developing and fielding high speed even hypersonic antiship missiles. Isn’t that a better explanation than aliens?

So the only way to get this done is to take away choice and force everyone into the higher octane? That way everyone can pay higher fuel costs so that you can make your CAFE standards? Kiss my gay black irish ass.

Bond, James Bond.
