Just because Tesla has no PR department doesn’t mean you have to volunteer.

Not gonna lie I have zero idea what the width of my truck is. Like I can pretty well gauge if it’s gonna fit somewhere, but if I saw a sign with a number I’d be hard-pressed to know.

Seems like a bunch of people don’t know how wide their vehicle is, and the width restrictor is giving them a lesson with devastating efficiency.

“we’re never more than one bad judgement away from tragedy.”

Holy fuck, what a yikes sandwich. Like, a literal sandwich. With antisemitic bread. My Shitty Internet Commenter bingo card has the three-fer of Godwin’s Law, neo-nazism, and Tesla stanning all checked off. Am I missing any?

Trust me, if a brand-new, high-profile combustion car just caught on fire like this, we’d write about that, too

How many of them are new, $100,000+ vehicles? A few Ferraris burn, which are covered here, but you want them to write an article every time a ‘02 Buick catches fire? Plus, there’s a difference between a gas fire and lithium battery fire.

it was mercedes that complained because they ignored improving their pit stops because they had a second a lap faster car and didn’t need them.

now that they need them, suddenly red bull is “cheating”

bullshit. red bull has not had _one_ unsafe release in 2 years. you know who have had unsafe releases? all the teams not…

I think, rather than trying to use the rockets to directly increase acceleration, they’ll instead be used to increase downforce. Have the thrusters pointing upward (nozzle towards sky, exactly opposite of how a space rocket points), use them to increase downforce during the first part of the acceleration.

Tesla doesn’t know how to do the other things that make a car great, so acceleration is all they have.

Yeah, I don’t want a 6000 PSI air tank designed and built by Tesla anywhere near me, let alone directly behind me sitting on top of 800KG of li-ion batteries. 

Would it be too much to ask for an infographic?

It wasn’t turn 1. It was the turn at number 6 on this map. They had been driving 2/3's of the lap

Yes...but these *are* 11 - 15year olds.  Judging by the number of injury inducing wrecks on his bicycle my spawn has had "slow and cautious" may not be in their vocabulary.

Calling him out for... discussing a video that is about a Tesla. Which is an accurate discussion of what occurs in the video.

We purchased some and did a torque study on them. Then promptly scrapped them. From an engineering standpoint these are junk.  They do reduce the impact slightly but do not help at all if someone gives a couple more "ugga, uggas" as some have termed it.  Impact guns are not assembly tools.  They are used in NASCAR,…

Came here to say this.  Never touch these things.  

My genuine internal bias ran to rental sentras with the line “somewhere along the line cars got boring.”

Theres no line, commit sexual assault, get fired from your job.  “We race as one” right?
