See, the Ford car products are so compelling that I confused their names.  I should have just said, “the ugly, shitty one” and all would be clear.

Why? No one was buying them. Focus sales were so flat they were selling them at a lower price than the smaller Fiesta, which also wasn’t selling!

Ford’s going all in on SUVs. If they’re “irking” you as a future customer, tell them and move on. Big picture: it’s a Ford, not life-saving cancer treatment.

The Bronco is at Supra-level of anticipation for the everyman

I think the thing everyone is missing is that while the Focus, Fiesta, and Fusion were good (although the Fiesta did have some electrical issues, and the Focus has the transmission problem) they were not better than the competition, and were regularly sold off to fleets. They would need to really step up their game if…

Real drivers?

“The Fiesta and Focus are great cars” Not if you got one of those awesome powershift transmissions. Ford ruined a lot of future customers on that debacle and its going to take time for new buyers to look at Ford again.

‘Hurricane turn’ - is that what the kids are calling doing a donut now?

The fact that you’ve had to do this just proves what a moronic PR move it was to release this. How did they not know this would result in shitloads of people writing it off as a Ranger with a cap?

Don’t talk shit about Pottery Barn, bro.

I am now waiting for the’22 GMC Humvee to show its face, if the rumors are true. But the Bronco will outsell it and GM will find a way to bork that vehicle too.

Wow. A two door truck with a 3 foot long bed makes a 4 door Jeep look positively useful.

And this is exactly what he’s talking about. You’re starting the backlash before the movie is even out. People are being asked questions, they are answering them honestly. That has no bearing on the final quality of the film, nor is it a bellwether of that quality. Grant himself posted a very emotional video talking…

Fuckin’ A, nice work

Elon Musk offends the zeitgeist of the 2010's: with Wikipedia and the internet writ large, a person cannot sustain a creation myth of their own making. Additionally, Americans by and large do not tolerate cults of personality. The Cult of Apple, for example, gets the same amount of shit shoveled at it.

He did slander a complete stranger, repeatedly calling him a child rapist, for no reason.

No, the rest of us don’t over promise and under deliver and even if we did, people wouldn’t die when we did.

He said in the presentation that it’s a 2021 model year vehicle. Anyone would assume any other manufacturer was presenting a more or less finished vehicle, otherwise they’d just call it a concept car. Which is what this is.

You can learn a lot about life at the Boat ramp

Considering all the think pieces and other free coverage this site has given Mr. Musk’s Backwards Door Stop Vaporware, I’d suggest that it is Jalopnik that has been “played”.
