Teslas are definitely not known to have bugs after updates where people can’t open their doors, even with the manual latch

“buy ICE cars which never catch on fire after an accident”

The alternative headline for this should be “Tesla catches on fire after accident like every other car can, killing two people, but even though there were probably a dozen other car accidents last week alone where the car caught on fire, we’re reporting on it…

Remove Musk from the decision. If da Vinci himself crafted every single Tesla, I still would not buy one. I understand why lots of people like them. I drove a 2023 Model 3 and there were enough negatives and weirdness to turn me off.

Same. Model 3s are incredibly affordable right now and, my concerns about their quality control notwithstanding, I’d snatch one up in a heartbeat were it not for that incel lunatic cosplaying as a “genius” Elmo.

The older and more financially comfortable I get, the less I want my life to be in the public, whether on social media or in the real world. And after reading about how most celebrities and socialites can’t even go to the coffee shop without being mobbed, or constantly harassed on the internet. I can’t imagine any…

Musk is living argument for higher tax rates for the ultra-rich. With his wealth and power, he has endless self-regard and no self-discipline, turning his brain to mush. He can communicate every half-baked thought in his head to millions of people, many of whom give him credence due to his supposed genius. Worse, he’s…

But they checked the cars before selling to customers, big difference. 

And nationalize SpaceX while you’re at it since it now fulfills an important public function and he’ll ruin it as soon as he turns his attention to it.

Agreed. If the government wants to make EV sales take off, they should be paying for chargers not subsidizing cars.

The article burred the actual cause. But it’s because the legacy builders haven’t updated their software.

He fired most of the team responsible for the supercharger network. Tesla took US subsidies in exchange for opening up the network, and clearly hasn’t done so at any real scale.

Nationalize this shit. Take the network away from the petulant child.

Never trust a psychopath. Not even his signature on a contract.

My favorite thing about the Ioniq 5 is that stylistically, it’s basically a master class in showing Tesla how to build something with sharp angles and retro styling that actually works and doesn’t suck.

I stand by my previous post from a couple of weeks ago. The Cybertruck is the worst-engineered consumer vehicle product available on the market today.

“Right now, Americans are spending an average of $47,000 on a new vehicle.”

But if we all drove EVs instead of ICEVs, we wouldn’t get to waste time arguing about the best oil, the best gas grades, transmissions, transaxles, rear diffs, best gear to be in, best gas-saving doodads, best oil filter, best intake air filter, best exhaust, best spark plugs, best cylinder deactivation defeat…

I’ve tried to have this conversation with many EV deniers and their response is basically “we can drill here in the US” and some combination of “infrastructures!” and “solar power doesn’t work when its cloudy”. Short term thinkers.

Depending on who wins — former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris — the world of EVs could look a lot different to start 2025.

Or how about ending subsidies for the oil and gas industries that have been going for almost a century and are among the most profitable companies in the world?
