Why is this even an article?  

I fail to understand how using federal incentives to encourage adoption EV - to pursue the goal of reduced emissions - has anything to do with union labor.

I don’t agree with Elon on much, but I do on this point. The federal government shouldn’t be funneling money to unions. Incentives shouldn’t be politicized. EV incentives should focus on EVs. Reasonable restrictions would be requiring it be for cars under a certain cost, or cars that get a certain range, or even cars…

I love the idea of an electric crate engine program, but the motor was never the tricky bit

“Sure, you can joke that all of the big cruisers are too heavy, too expensive, and too old-fashioned, aimed at a dying market”

The new Model S, be it Plaid or a normal “LR” version share the same battery pack. This new pack is actually *smaller* than the previous 2020 and earlier cars. They got more range out of less battery due to the new car being about 100lbs lighter, the new HVAC and the new bodyworks lower drag.

You can actually buy one ?

I’ve been there, the drive-around for taller vehicles is one fucking block over. And as others have said, it’s a railway bridge, so lifting the bridge means regrading the rails for literally miles in both directions. It’s not that easy.

Just reach over the side of your F-150 bed — yeah, if you’re 6 foot 8.

But it's so damn ugly. I mean ugly compared to other ADV bikes

Blinded by his hate boner?

I think the source article just looked at the cheapest Y available before and the current lowest price.

Subframe bolts and a non-structural bumper cover are not exactly on the same order, one is a safety issue that is recall worthy, one is probably TSB worthy (which seems to be what Tesla did):

Tesla service stations arent that rare anymore. Id 100% trust Tesla servicing my Tesla more than Chevy servicing my Bolt.

I have a service center right down my street.

Tesla has always said since launch a small number of Cybertrucks from Austin in Q4 2021 with ramp up in 2022, soooo Thanks for reporting click bait  2 year old “news”??

Tesla grew by 35% in 2020 while legacy OEMs were down 35%. I used to love Jalopnik, but I’m beginning to see this venue as yet another outlet of FUD spinning for legacy fossil fuel based propulsion. Reminds me of FUD claiming there is no climate emergency. Shameful.

Thought about getting a Hayabusa when I was shopping for bikes. It was a little to much sportbike for my aging knees at the time. I got the old man BMW K1300 instead. Less HP but the midrange was fantastic as it would have been on the Hayabusa. No Replacement for displacement. 

Since you now have a book selling on Amazon ripping into autonomous cars, is it your financial goal to put out an anti-Tesla article every day?

My suggestion: Don't worry about it. You didn't care what you were flying on before the Max, don't start now. This plane has been under an immense level of scrutiny for almost two years. It's safe.
