You mean the obvious person in a costume that was not intended to be mistaken for a real robot? And now, you can go see the static robot in select Tesla Stores, and see videos they’ve published like picking up eggs without crushing them, and such.

Looks like Jalopnik got the gas and EV times flipped in that chart. 3.3 is for the EV.

The chances of a Tesla going wrong at 100k miles vs. a BMW makes it a no brainer. Tesla will get pretty regular software updates for improvements. The ‘new’ Model 3 looks pretty much the same. If you want a cheap commuter car with the best charging network it’s perfect. 

There are a lot of people who go from a 3 series (or a Merc C class) to a Model 3. Not because they consider the Model 3 to be as refined as those cars, but because they value what they see as the Tesla’s strong points (effortless acceleration giggle factor; sci-fi Star Trek shuttle craft vibe; EVs being the future)…

I, for one, cross-shopped a Model 3 Performance vs an M2 a few years back. So there’s that.

Do tons of people cross-shop the Model 3 and 3 Series? Yes absolutely

Good luck getting into an AWD 3 series for $45k

I mean it is actually a legit competitor and the two cars are very frequently cross-shopped, so yes.

I’m also a non-tesla-stan and agree this article is ridiculous. The headline should basically be “BREAKING NEWS: two experiments conducted with different parameters yielded different results”

I was thinking the same thing. To most people at least moderately familiar with EVs, it is common knowledge that traveling at higher speeds will reduce the total range. I have a PHEV and in warm weather, I get about 28 miles of range in lower speed (non-highway) driving but that drops to around 20 miles if I am on the…

An EPA range test isn’t only held at highway speeds, as the test involves a full battery worth of driving in city cycles averaged with a full battery worth of driving on a highway cycle. This is only one half of the test, but the truck would have to be capable of around 390 miles of city driving in order for the…

Go to any Electrify America and there is an ID.4 charging to 100% very slowing as well. They are universal.

“The “save the environment” market is already saturated, which is why EV sales are stalling.”

In case anyone is interested, here is the link to the source study:

Interesting.

Let’s wait until we see the actual crash tests before jumping to any conclusions. Tesla is known for its safety and being at the leaderboard of crash tests, so to design a vehicle that would perform poorly on safety tests doesn’t really align.

Is it just me, or does it feel like Bugatti has run out of ideas? Even the Chiron itself feels like Bugatti didn’t know what to do after successfully achieving their goals with the Veyron, and were like: “well, we could just build another Veyron, but call it something else?”

Extra over the $500 deposit?  Clicky headline.

How is this an “extra $120k”?

Exactly. Like, OK we get it, you think it sucks. But if you’re writing an article about a product, at least be a little bit impartial? Throw in some jabs of course, sure. This though, is just someone who not only hates the product, but the company that makes it, the CEO of the company that makes it, and the perceived…
