Totally unrelated question: Did Jalopnik separate itself from The Root, Kokatu, and Quartz? They’re not on Jalopnik’s masthead anymore, and Jalopnik isn’t on theirs.

EVs will sell when you slap unsustainable incentives on them. Is there a single manufacturer selling EVs in the US at a profit aside from Tesla?

Remember that time on Jalopnik a few weeks ago when EV’s were doomed and auto makers were better off cancelling all of their EV programs?

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it. Nobody cares that much about the looks of a taxi. They want easy access and room for some packages or baggage. The robo-taxi has neither.

I suspect that the “robotaxi” we saw was really just a reworking of the Model 2 prototype that Tesla cancelled a few months ago; which means that at some point it had a steering wheel and pedals. 

Of course it it, this will 100%, if not 110% be passed on to the consumer.  Laughable anyone thinks this is going to be stripped from profits.

I agree, hence my hesitance to back the unions. They’re essentially holding the economy hostage to derive what I think are ostentatious concessions.

Right?  Those ships’ cargos were sorted out well before they set sail, which itself was well before the hurricane.

Yeah, I’m gonna try and throw that “no automation” clause in on my next salary review. I’m sure that’ll go over well.

Toilet paper wasn’t impacted by this. It would be more car imports.

I’m sure I’ll be skewered for this since this “car” blog and its commenters seem vehemently pro-union, but port automation can’t come soon enough. Initiating a strike when everyone’s already pissed about inflation and right after a major disaster devastated much of the southeast is just heartless greed, plain and…

BYD is the bigger issue for small car development in Germany/Europe. They are importing at such a high volume but low cost that even with tariffs they are selling product under VW’s costs.

This is actually absurd that Jalopnik would even post this.... I will no longer be supporting Jalopnik because this is just stupidity. First of all, the editor has no clue what he is talking about and has never driven in a competitive series in his life. Lance Stroll won every karting championship in North America and…

I get that you have a hate on for Stroll, but he’s not talentless.  Is he a top talent, no.  Until he got to F1, he actually had a slightly better record than George Russell.   https://www.driverdb.com/head-to-head/lance-stroll/george-russell

Nothing Boomer here. Boomers keep their Vettes stock and pristine. Maybe chrome wheels (in a stock style) or a slightly louder exhaust, or occasionally that dumb fake wood stuck on in the cabin. But not this.

Look, Corvettes are without question boomertastic.
However this screams ghetto, not boomer.

AWOOOOOOOOOO HONK HONK!!!!!!!!!!!
