Let’s be honest, you’re not reaching out to every automaker that has a customer with wheel alignment issues, has fallen asleep at the wheel, or has defective panoramic roofs. Your reaching out to Tesla because a response from them would be clickworthy for you. Most of your email requests are of the un-slick tone...…

Heck the only thing keeping this place alive is the comment section. Oh and there’s still a couple of good writers, it’s gone downhill though big time

I was gonna say “I wouldn’t respond to Jalopnik either” but that was more based on the shitty tone of some of the writers (Erik!).

Hello Mr Torch, just a quick favor to ask of you, can you not post screenshots, maybe just retype out all the emails. Normally I wouldn’t ask this much of you but I’m on mobile and it seems I can only load up so many photos and those seem to taken up by the 2 million or so ads that need to be loaded.

Ya ever notice how some of the biggest and best content platforms in the world, with decades-long growth, have focused on simplicity, usability, and a consistent look and feel?

“Hey, they updated the site”

“We heard your complaints about our clunky interface and our solution was to implement an infinitely worse system”

Who knows, its not like they check it. 

Between this and the obtrusive newsletter pop ups, I swear they want us to not visit the sites anymore.

Ewwww...This is terrible

I’m still trying to find the step forward in this one.

Other than the writing, the best thing about Jalopnik was the clean simple design that let me just scroll through and read what was next.

Kinja Updates, 1 step forward and 5 steps back. At least it’s consistent?

Yeah, but carbon fiber is pretty delicate, how’s it going to hold up when you drive through a crowd of spectators during your peel out?
