This is the new normal. Actual outcomes don’t matter. All that matters is the performance.

Chargers can brick EVs? More details please.

Taxing unrealized gains is the dumbest taxation proposal. They’re all fake numbers and fluctuate wildly. Are you going to give credits back when things go back down? There’s better ways to get billionaires to pay taxes, maybe target they way they actually have liquidity, like taxing margin loans based on stock…

You should know by now that everybody should drive a old Honda Fit. Things such as kids, their things, and comfort are stupid.

Trump would have probably been more center if he hadn’t adopted any view/policy of the people who flattered him the most. If Dems had been in his office telling him how great he was every day they’d have likely swayed him into a center if not center left ideology. 

Agreed - the “Designated Survivor” scenario is the most attractive one I can think of right now.

This has to be one of the most intelligent comments I’ve ever read on Jalopnik. Thank you for that.

My problem is, that after witnessing the train wreck of the Trump admin and how (most) Republicans just turned a blind eye, I just can’t take them seriously. People like Mitch McConnel haven’t helped their credibility in my eyes.

4th gear: Both of them would’ve been done and dusted long ago if not for the fact that Republicans can’t be bothered to lift a finger to help America and two Senate Democrats are using the occasion to go on extended ego trips.

its from a time when the site mattered and people would post gore in the comments. the only site that needs that anymore is jezebel because people are horrible. none of the other ones here need the stupid pending approval thing anymore. its just holding them back because its keeping new voices from being heard. 

Sputnik 2, what a fine accomplishment to showcase, given that Laika had been launched with the full knowledge that she could not be recovered and then died a horrible death after the AC malfunctioned.

2nd: I think there is a lot more to staffing a shipping concern than wages. Sure, money is a factor, but I don’t think it’s nearly as important as you suggest. Working on those freighters is a fucking hard lifestyle. You can be on the ship for weeks on end, primarily doing 8 hrs on, 8 hrs. off shifts. There is no…

Reverse:

world’s tiniest violin

if you can take advantage of the full tax credit (which, unfortunately, I can)

I think it’s interesting what “luxury” is now. I mean, nobody looks at power seats and windows, AC, navigation, comfortable seats, leather, cruise control, etc, and thinks “luxury”. They look at those things and see “standard”. What is it that defines a luxury vehicle or even separates it from a standard/comparable…

the x7 is fucking hideous and its success a testament to modern society

The most BMW BMW is the one with dark tinted windows, driving 25 over zig zagging lanes with no turn signals.

I wonder if this news Hertz Tesla.

This isn’t for a car, but against the tax credit for union-made electric vehicles that is currently being considered in Congress. The automaker is Toyota, whose factories in the United States are not unionized and thus would stand to lose from the credit.
