Historically, the Golf has been one of the top selling cars on the planet, so it makes sense that they put a lot of thought and engineering into the design. They can also put nicer bits in it as the cost is amortized over something like 1 million cars produced each year.  Jetta is a niche sedan just sold in a few…

Base model 3 is a completely different class. Small car vs SUV

All German brands are junk based on your anecdotal info.   Got it.

Do crossover buyers even care? The base Honda CR-V does 0-60 in 9.3 seconds. 0-60 time is pretty low on the list of requirements for folks looking at a low cost EV that can family. Electric cars feel faster than they are because the instant torque makes 0-30 pretty quick. Also, the Tesla Model Y base price is like…

“literally be a piece of shit”.

As it turns out, Jalopnik is made up of different editors with different opinions, so opinions in articles may vary. Who knew?

I’m certainly not a Tesla fanboy, but there is a difference between being mildly unreliable and “a complete, utter piece of shit” as the comment alluded too. Tesla owners do tend to love their cars per surveys, not just anecdotes. Consumer Reports puts them in the bottom third of their recent reliability ratings,…

Not sure what their historical cars has to do with their current lineup.  They currently sell 2 vehicles.  The 300 and a minivan that goes by 3 names.   

Chrysler has been around for 95 years and Tesla has more vehicles in their lineup.   

His username brags about both his car and his zip code.  What do you expect.  

That is the average pay for doctors working for a system. The actual rate that the system charges for them includes overhead, insurance, etc...   if a doctor was working independently doing house calls they would likely bill out at many times this due to them needing to cover overhead like equipment costs, lab costs,…

Hospitals are way more complicated than you think. There is a lot more involved than just doctors. Cost of facilities, nursing staff, pharmacy and lab staff, equipment, furniture, insurance, legal, billing staff, housekeeping, support services, etc.... If the doctors that you hire bring a CT machine, breathing…

The competition is the fact that there are other car manufacturers out there.   

This is still the greatest article that Jalopnik ever posted.  Thank you Jason.  

The VP position is appointed as much as it is an elected position.... since we don’t vote for VP independent of President.

Unfortunately the most vocal subset.

Sure, but most buyers aren’t racing them on the track...   and the Porsche has better build quality and interior.    This matters to some more than others.  

Sure, but here in Indianapolis I see plenty of suburban accounts and the like buying them, to commute with, and they just look ridiculous crawling in traffic. I’m guessing only a small fraction of them actually do desert running or anything similar.

The whole 6 air changes thing isn’t even accurate since that only means the HVAC system is cycling the room air through its filters 6 times per hour.... and filters do little or nothing against this virus. What you really need are 6 “outdoor” air changes per hour but most commercial HVAC systems aren’t set up for…

This is the 2200 lb limit class.   The unlimited weight record for EV is 340 mph.
