Telsa drivers drive like asshats - all you have to do is pull up next to one in fast-looking car.

Maybe you should focus on educating yourself instead of daftly sticking to the anti-BEV bandwagon.

The price already is up. You’re making a strong conclusion from a tenuous correlation. Lithium is not oil, this is like saying that we’d find a ton more diamonds because diamond prices are high due to the way oil works.

This is probably the most intelligent comment to date about this issue. It isn’t that we don’t have enough lithium and cobalt in the planet. It is just that it can’t be mined if it is at difficult depths to reach because that is expensive, and the technology currently used isn’t up to it. Mining is also extremely…

Also, things that impress punters in showrooms aren’t necessarily the things people appreciate once they own the car. One generation of touch screens, then people will be clamoring for buttons; similar to the first digital dashboards in the 1980s.

Yes wrong questions and timing, like I’m sure they hadn’t a chance to ask the well to do types who died serving cocktails at 80mph whilst their Tesla was self-driving them into a tree! Yikes!!

Would you like your controls to be functional? Yes? Okay they must mean they want touch screens with haptic interfaces.

Speaking as someone who used to work as an automotive electrical engineer...

You’d kinda think that screens cost more, but they are actually cheaper.

Does any automaker do a test panel of these types of things? Or did they all basically go, “Well, Tesla did it, and people love Teslas!”

Enthusiasts: We want manual cars!

Acura: Here you go

Enthusiasts: But now it won’t sell! Aw you killed it. Grumble grumble Crossovers grumble

Hey Pete, if you think the name Autopilot is misleading just wait until you hear about Full Self Driving.

The IMS stuff is pretty overblown. Most cars of that generation will never have an issue. The problem is that if you’re one of the unlucky few who does go bang, its not worth rebuilding the engine.

Next up suing the Eagles for their farewell tours

Sounds like a bunch of mad scalpers, boomers, NIMBYs, and pavement princes reminding us that they have problems too. But if these guys are making a big deal out of this, it sounds like 0-60 in 3.5 seconds from an SUV won’t make them happy, therefore it’s likely that nothing will.

every time that i’ve encountered one of these in the wild, the driver is more of an asshat than the challenger/charger crowd.

Sounds like Dodge making a Mitch Hedberg joke.

The problem is that safety standards are a thing — an important and valid thing. Crumple zones don’t exist because automakers cheap out, they’re critical to ensuring people survive accidents

This is just Elon’s attempt to troll:

It boggles my mind that people still believe this thing will get approved by the DOT and manufactured in any meaningful way. Why anyone would support meme lord douchbag Elon is beyond me.
