Oh, I see. Well, wouldn’t be the first time someone put a white (I’m assuming) face on things to allay delicate sensibilities.
Butt why does the logo look like an inhaling buttock?
Why should they be expected to point out they’re Chinese? Since when has “making explicit the country of origin” been an expectation we hold a corporate entity to in the medium of a launch event?
Someone find the Churchill quote. Or my preferred Scary Movie derivative: “This is some shit up with which we will not put!”
I more or less take your point, but it is definitionally impossible to have “negative history” and also be a startup.
I suppose their argument would be that rock crawling is not the only form of off-roading? Fundamentally, the thing is still a ladder frame elephant in the underneath bits.
Chassis codes! Can you even enthusiast if you can’t recite chassis codes offhand?
Ford GT maybe? Both are assembled by contractors, too.

Also, those things are far too big for their proximity to my eyes. Big screen TVs are cool, but I don’t find it particularly impressive to have an iPad glued to my face.
Enjoy sterility, menfolk.
Such a slippery slope in fact that the same has happened to literally many other words. What even is an example of a word whose meaning has changed through a process of “systemic cultural change or an academic re-evaluation of it’s (*giggles*) purpose?”
The proposal is heard. Let’s see how the language responds.
There is literally no such thing as language that is not debatable. The debate is the thing, Beardy.
True! But the car has radar cruise control for any situation fast enough for this to be a problem.
It upsets my sensibilities but really it’s hard to fault Tesla’s logic here. The car has a one speed and radar cruise control. Good driving practices already dictate that the flow of traffic take precedence over numeric speed.
Whether you’d call the interior design “futuristic” or “lazy” depends on how you feel about modern architecture. If a glass-and-concrete house made entirely of right angles appeals to you, you’ll be right at home in the Model 3.
It’s JLR. They don’t require assistance.
