What pre-orderers thought Tesla was going to give them for $35,000:
- Incredible EV range
- Leather seats
- Power everything
- Deep customization options
- State-of-the-art autonomous driving capabilities
- Free supercharging
- A BMW 3 Series alternative

They’re not “options” if it’s the only way you can buy the car.

The opposite side of having HOAs is having David Tracy as your neighbor.

Yeah bending’s what Apple does, alright.

1.) Yes, a car is needed in todays society. This isn’t lost on me. What is lost on me are people in their mid-20s driving around in brand new crossovers and SUVs. You and I both know that this is beyond dumb, almost anyone can get financing for a perfectly reliable $10k Camry/Accord/whatever. My college daily driver…

Nope, but they may be borderline idiotic for buying a brand new Honda Civic the moment that graduate college with $50k in debt.

The driver wanted to turn left and was waiting for the van to drive forward to change lanes.

Its not my childish platform war, its Tim Cooks.

But Google ...

Is Jalopnik, like, contractually obligated to attach “Holy-Grail” to every description of this engine?

And it will be, eventually.

This new $42,900 starting MSRP minus the current $3,750 federal incentive comes to $39,150. They are slowly but surely approaching that $35K target!

I’ve generally enjoyed this series, but this one is ridiculous. Apple should be the easiest tech giant to cut out your life, since it has the smallest ownership of the internet backbone. There’s no reason to dive into Linux, when a Windows laptop is the most obvious non-Apple alternative. Why would you choose to go…

While I understand not wanting to buy an Android phone only to abandon it couple weeks later, not doing so makes this less of an apples-to-apples experiment, wouldn’t you say?

I’m a divorced father of two who just spent 6 months unemployed.

“My savings are zilch and my debt is high. I will likely have to dig into my retirement account to cover a down payment”

I see Apple becoming  has become an innocuous, pro-privacy hardware and services company, with no products that are any more compelling than their competitors’.

Sure there is.  If he hadn’t defeated the safety features the car is supposed to fucking stop.

Ford Management: “We’ve wildly over estimated earnings and made some very questionable decisions this year resulting in a loss of profit, jobs, and market share. So the workforce will have to pay for our bonuses, greed, and stupidity with their jobs.”

That wouldn’t be vandalism so it’s little hyperbolic to suggest it is.
