I don’t see any reason to kill Abarth. It’s not really a brand, it’s just the top sporting trim level of a couple of cars. Maserati probably should go back to Ferrari. Vauxhall has been pointless for many decades, and sadly Lancia too - soooo much heritage squandered there. DS was pointless from day one. The French…
Yup, agreed...and now I want a blue raz "slushie"
the comments need reactions like FB comments have. That would get a laugh react out of me
The TH400 trans was probably the only thing reliable on that car.
You're not saying anything useful here.
The problem is, Dodge actually might have more equity and desirability, especially for the sorts of cars they sell, than Chrysler does. There’s a reason the Charger (sedan and coupe, effectively the Challenger) got carried forward into a new generation and the 300 did not.
But they weren’t. Mercedes (the cars), Audi, Bentley, Porsche, Jaguar, and Hyundai have had 48v mild hybrids for years now. In fact, the E Class was available with one from the last generation, and the current one (started shipping May of last year) is ONLY available as a 48v mild hybrid. I think the cybertruck is…
So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and safety
Confirmation of your bias exists in the fact that many of those articles you complain about are sourced from Tesla owners. Jalopnik didn’t create them from thin air.
Stalephish is a Tesla shill. So is EUC.
I’m indeed very well aware how deep the anti-Tesla biased reporting has descended to...
They’re saying that StalePhish is a Tesla shill, not Jalopnik. They rarely say anything negative about Tesla...
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that mechanical fail-safes shouldn’t count since they’re not normally active. If that’s accepted the first would be the 2014 Infiniti Q50. They’re also 20 years behind the curve for giving a pickup rear-steer, but at least with it being standard equipment they won’t have…
You can’t reach into the bed from the side. The tailgate doesn’t close automatically. The windshield is absurdly flat and large so the big windshield wiper fails. The pedals fall off until you bolt them back on. The unpainted stainless is so hard to clean that half of buyers are wrapping the vehicle. The door handles…
“I would trust a Fisker Ocean (no long on sale) or even a VinFast before taking a Cybertruck on the road.”
None of the features you mentioned (except for maybe the voltage) are unique in any way and are technologies that have been around for a decade or more. The steer-by-wire is not the first, but is apparently the first without a mechanical fail-safe. So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and…
How about all the recalls?
Yes the Cybertruck is objectively terrible as a vehicle. When you have to take pictures at a Home Depot with stuff in the bed that proves it can truck things, it can’t do truck things.
