If I were rich I’d buy this, but only ironically. It would have one purpose: to drive my daughter to school in an effort to teach her humility.

You could use that rear bumper as a work bench or a picnic table. Maybe an aircraft carrier deck.

Obligatory

If you actually read all the ‘negative’ articles about Tesla on Jalopnik, you’ll note that almost all of them are caveated with positive statements about the vehicles engineering, capabilities and the impact of Tesla on the broader automotive market. But they don’t spend 12 paragraphs repeating that because there’s…

You brought that comment out of the grays and are now officially the bad guy here.

In all seriousness, I’m wondering how far away the class-action lawsuit is, from everyone who paid Tesla $10k or $12k for FSD.

Unless you wreck so hard that the 12v battery breaks open, there is no other source of battery acid to spill, and I’m not sure what shape anybody in the cars involved or the actual drive battery would be in after a wreck like that!

I’ve got a 911, a Subaru Outback, and a BMW R1200 RT, and didn’t intentionally start a collection of boxer engines, yet here I am with 2, 4 and 6 cylinder versions of them. 

Bonus: double the fuel...FOR FREE!

Very cool, comprehensive write-up! I owned an ‘02 bug eye WRX for almost 11 years and the 2.0L turbo never gave me any trouble. Maintenance and not thrashing the car all the time went a long way. Then I made what turned out to be a huge mistake: I bought a brand new 2013 Outback with the terrible, chattery, gutless…

Electric drivetrains evoke simplicity far more than an ICE ever could.

I wouldn’t even try to cross that by hot air balloon.

Ok, it’s the first time I heard Medellín is a remote city.

Yes, that railroad has been abandoned like almost all the rails in Colombia. We went into trucks very heavily in the ‘70s and still suffer for it. But the rail line is actually in good shape. I mean, it’s more stable than the other bridge Clarkson, Hammond and…

I’m not going to pretend it doesn’t take some gusto to cross this bridge, but why all the presentation of forbidden danger and especially the bit about the old man “claiming” that many make the trek. Traffic is literally backed up on the other side of the bridge with locals waiting to get past. I’d be far more…

Fore/aft motorized seats are an abomination. If it can’t be shoved back immediately by grabbing a handle, it’s already broken.

Well, car culture for Florida.

There is no “title issue”. This can be registered like any clean title car anywhere in the country. Insurance rates generally aren’t excessively higher for R titles than clean ones either, from my own experience.

This car is something of an enigma. So it’s no surprise that we’re being asked to perform a Touring test.

You should build a wall, I bet you could even get us to pay for it too.

Huh. His initial reaction is so opposite to my own highly disproportionate, unreasonable, irrational levels of road rage that I’m genuinely confused. Lord knows I have an awful temper driving, I take everything personally, and I spend lots of calories turning beet red, screaming at folks for everything from failing to…
