It’s so stupid. I love it.

Ya, I’m with you. A seriously dangerous trend that needs to stop now. BMW and Tesla are early offenders, most carmakers are boarding the bandwagon now. 

“Stellantis’ most prestigious marque would have to be Ferrari, and up until recently it swore it’d never go fully electric”

Cmon, it’s actually way better than you imagine

Can you even get a new ICE vehicle for 20k?

In the rural parts of the upper mid-west (I know that area well it may apply to other areas) gas powers the entire culture and lifestyle of many of the people that live there. There is no public transportation, everything is a long drive, all the hobbies are gas powered (ice fishing, fishing and water sports, ATV and…

“Someone please just make a desirable $20,000 EV already.”

You and I have very different definitions of the following words/phrases appearing in the above article:

“But the harder Cadillac leans into this, the more I wish the alphanumerics stuck around.”

Newsflash - There are no “SUV designers” or “Iconic car designers” or “door handle designers”. The profession is Industrial Design - transportation being part of the broader product design world. Any individual designer should be able to design the whole car, inside and out. Though that would take a while by…

Jalopnik’s been letting in some low effort clickbait recently, but this really takes the cake. Fire the editor who greenlit this, then fire the guy who hired that editor.
Except that was probably a herb.

Steve, welcome to Jalopnik. You’re going to need to do better than this. 

McLaren’s issue with their road cars is they take the same car or two, give it multiple variants every other year with slightly different incomprehensible alphanumeric names and slightly different styling, and do it so often that no one knows what is what and what are the “special” models and what are the “pedestrian”…

uh... wow. I didnt think people were still this in the dark. No its not a proprietary standard. Just Tesla is the odd man out. This is the SAE standard.

Please note, this is to be expected with beta software. It is impossible to test all hardware configs in all conditions with internal QA, hence public beta.

She’s also a professor at Duke University who does research on human+autonomous systems. She’s been focused on this area as a prof at MIT and Duke for 8+ years, so she’s definitely qualified to do government regulation / NHTSA stuff.

Unpopular opinion. I have a 2021 RST in this same color, and I think it looks fine. No better or worse than the Ram of F150, and certainly not the ugliest car ever produced in the history of automobiles like Jalop seems to think.

The operative word is they do... “now”. But as we speak ALL of the mainline automakers have their own fleets of EVs coming out. Tesla has basically had no real competition and that is about to change in a major way.

Need more details. Is this the type of thing where the salaried employee is trying to enter their work place, at a stop with no where to go, inching forward, while people stand on the hood? “See, they hit me!”

Or is this a situation of someone trying to force their way through a crowd using their car as a weapon or…

Toyota leapfrogged GM because they cannot make enough cars to meet demand. I’m far from a GM apologist, but this isn’t a naturally market driven shift. There’s still a ton of people who want ass ugly Silverados that can’t get them, and rental car companies that would love to fill their fleets with Malibus but can’t.…
