Its Jalopnik. They’ve always had an anti-Tesla slant, as do most of the commentors. Throw in a little Tin Foil Hat Big Brother Is Watching kind of scare, and its guaranteed to be a hot click baity topic.

This actually makes a lot of sense. Charging quickly like this degrades the batteries faster. After a certain point of wear leveling, Tesla tries to preserve as much battery life as possible.

How are people mystified by the effectiveness of these ads, or by the things people will say in these clinics?

That’s hurtful. To dickbags.

That of all things.

That this is not universally hated across the US makes me think our great country is on the downward slope as a society.

Unless battery technology advances by about 300-500% in the near future in terms of density, you’re not gonna see anything notably smaller and compact than a Tesla, not with any real driving range. While people are saying electrics are not limited by packaging like an ICE vehicle (with an engine, gas tank, drive…

a kind of conceit which triggers an internal cerebral reaction of surprise and unexpected misdirection. Laughter is often an appropriate acknoweldgment of this event having taken place in the subject.

They see a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and think it’s weak and underpowered and bad, and despite the fact that they are wrong, they still insisted upon a big V6.…

You’ve missed the entire point of the sacred V12 in the Maybach if you think it’s meant for “extra speed”. A Maybach is for the badge, the luxury, and the simple bragging rights of having a V12.

That’s what the B-52, B-1B, Minuteman II, Trident, and all of our other overly expensive toys are for.

You wouldn’t hire a writer or a librarian if your intent was to burn books, you’d hire an illiterate.

That’s actually an easy aftermarket mod that works on any pickup. All you need is a tent and stunning disregard for safety.

Yup. The only difference is that a Tesla-run body shop would not take to Twitter to complain about Tesla’s part shortage. Elon Musk’s famous thin-skin at work here.

I hear you on power to weight - I used to have a bike myself and I’ve spent time on some serious sport bikes such as a Suzuki 1000S and a GSX-R 750 (who hasn’t?)
