Slap this sensor on the steering wheel.

The part that irks me the most is that these “pranks”.... aren’t funny. At all. Not even stupid-funny. Maybe to a 13 year old, which is probably all that matters since they’re the ones watching and commenting.

Who’d have thought that treating employees like living, breathing people would result in better performance. Mindboggling! 

This article actually made me appreciate the Firebird's design even more....

I remember this snow storm, it’s still one of the worse Seattle has had. Issue with PNW winters that most don’t realize is that the snow turns to ice almost immediately, combined with hills everywhere, so driving anywhere is damn near impossible.

the company they once knew is no longer recognizable

The closest competitor would be the Polestar 1, but that’s not even being produced anymore

I thought the X Concept was more/less greenlit? It doesn’t look too far from production. That said, as gorgeous as the concept is, I don’t think a relatively mainstream GT coupe is halo car worthy... 

I read something similar from a BMW engineer that worked with Toyota alongside the Supra/Z4 development, and said how everyone at BMW thought Toyota’s QC criteria was absurd.

Are they late to the game though....? The Leaf and Bolt are affordable and been out for a while, but not exactly flying off dealer lots, while the ID4 just came out.

That’s so weird, it’s almost as if having actual sensors or *gasp* lidar are necessary. But there’s no way that’s the case, because Lord Elon says 100% camera vision is cheaper - I mean - better.

Agreed. Sure, maybe the hardware is simply a Panasonic system branded by HK or Fender, but it’s still tuned by them for a distinct soundstage. And the really expensive systems, like B&W in Volvo’s, is developed ground-up and baked into the car’s structure/platform for optimal sound.

I don’t think that orange one has a red interior; looks black inside. The red interior photo looks like it’s from a silver 3rd car not pictured

Yes. He is also responsible for crosswalk duty for all public schools. The kids have been waiting to cross for weeks now! Bad optics!

Whoever has been responsible for RR’s rear end designs lately needs a pay raise

Is it the first Lidar in the states? Unless it’s coming out within the next 6 months I think Volvo will be the first with the new XC90 (or whatever they end up calling it)

I think its biggest competitor, mainly due to the absurdity factor, will be the Hummer. The more affordable model of the Hummer isn’t another 2-3 years out so there may be some chance the Tesla won’t be a complete bust. Outside of the Hummer, I really don’t see why anyone would want to daily drive a polygon tank…

I wonder how American built Teslas compare to European and Chinese built Teslas. I recall reading that the Chinese quality is superior. Been reading/watching a lot of Chinese EV reviews and China’s quality as a whole seems to be getting close to mainstream competitors; only a matter of time before BYD/NIO/Xpeng…

Wait, why aren’t they expanding on the cute E styling??

The irony of a Trump-backed “America-First” company crumbling and being bought out by China makes me very happy
