I think you should reread my post. “Don’t disagree” = “agree.” It’s a classic double negative that they taught us about in 7th grade English.

I’ll stop when I want to. Or when people like Elizabeth stop writing sensationalist articles with a tenuous grasp on facts. Whichever comes first.

Mundane is fine. Sensationalist reporting without all the facts is where I have an issue.

Tesla’s AP safety nets are what indicate that this story is BS. AP is limited to 5 mph over the posted speed limit on residential streets. As another poster noted, this street is about 1/16th of a mile long with a cul-de-sac on one end and a T-intersection stop sign at the other in a very wealthy neighborhood. Logic…

You and everyone else (including the first responders) know enough about autopilot to think you know how it works without actually knowing how it works. On residential streets, AP is restricted to 5 mph over the posted speed limit. There is no way around this. First responders see no one in the driver’s seat and…

I don’t disagree that a four hour battery fire is dangerous. And while it is worthwhile to address this issue for all EVs, that is not the main point of this story based on the amount of attention paid to it. The main point is “look how dangerous Teslas are.” There are a few issues with your second point.

Tesla is at fault as much as any other manufacturer is at fault for people using their products in stupid ways. Do you blame Ford when Mustangs kill people while doing donuts at Cars and Coffee?

I live a mile away from that street. I am not driving there just to prove to a stranger on the internet that I live close enough to know the roads unless you’re paying me to do it.

Semantics. Jalopnik targets readers from around the country with its articles, just like you target your friends and family with your FB posts. That’s what makes it “national.”

I actually got re-routed here from Flipboard, without realizing it was a Jalopnik story. But once I was here, they already had the click. So I might as well call their bullshit for what it is.

Are you seriously trying to legitimize a national “publication” posting this porrly disguised diatribe against the evils of autopilot because the fire took a long time to extinguish and there was no one in the driver’s seat when the police arrived? You think those are more noteworthy than a mother a three children…

It’s being called out because Jalopnik writers seemingly make bonuses based on the number of Tesla hit pieces they can write. I actually live in this neighborhood, and you’re right. There is nowhere that you can drive fast enough to get wrapped around a tree unless you’re purposely being a jackass. And based on how my…

This article is trash. Jalopnik used to be the place to go to get unbiased and informative car news. Sad to see that you all just waste your weekends trawling local news websites for Tesla crashes now.

No, it’s gotta be just blank. Like, “you thought you were getting my contact information, but you’ll actually just have to wait for me to call you”

Giving someone a blank business card is the ultimate flex for the true professional. I’m going to have to do that one day.

You’re getting a lot of heat for this, but I agree with you. There are safety-related reasons why people at this facility and similar ones aren’t allowed to have cell phones in areas with high-speed, dangerous, loud machinery and heavy vehicles moving around. I’d wager that statistically, employees at facilities like…

I’m not sure how many people in this comment section are intellectual property attorneys, but based on the responses to your legitimate question, I would guess very few. I have a small amount of experience in the field, but from what I do know I believe that your initial impression is correct. The artist was hired to…

Well you’re one step ahead of me. It wasn’t until I read your comment that I realized The Midnight Club was not a film based on the video game series which taught me how to drive.

I think you’re confusing what I’m saying. I agree with you that Black characters are unjustifiably more controversial than white characters who do similar things, i.e., recast established superheroes. My point is separate from that. It’s that the very exercise of recasting characters as the token Black person is…
