The difference there is mistakes vs complicity and violation of actual law.

Well... he does grab himself every single day...

“Without a moment’s hesitation, the 8-speed ZF kicked down, and off we went...”

I think they’re very well integrated, and certainly no worse than any M/ AMG product.

A lot of cars damaged this badly and worse are repaired and sold as salvage vehicles. Yeah, when you see cars totaled out simply because of hail damage or cosmetic panel damage, that’s just the result of outright laziness. But because this repair happened to parts that are structurally integral to the car, it’s a…

Zipper merging, as your video describes it, is a way of mitigating the size of backups. Not preventing them.

Assholes waiting until the last second to merge is a good portion of why those backups happen in the first place - they force their way into a space that isn’t there, making everyone else slow down until a…

The tire still fits under the bed like the normal Colorado, the bed mount is a new Gear-On option they’re pushing. None of the prototypes have the bed mount.

I wish the ugly “iPad slapped on top of the dashboard” look would hurry up and go away. Its ugly and looks like an afterthought.

Plymouth Barracuda?

I’d very happily take Reagan over the dumpster fire that just got elected.

So when was the last time you tried a new Ford or GM vehicle? Most are far better than, or at least competitive to their forgien competition.

So because a few thousand coal-rolling truck bros are breaking the law in modifying their vehicles after purchase, that somehow makes it OK for carmakers to break the law by designing illegal defeat devices into their cars and selling hundreds of thousands of them in the US, in the process defrauding each and every…

The batteries are recycled. They’re not just a pack of Duracells you throw out. 

I guess I’m confused as to what I should do if there’s upcoming traffic and there’s a car tailgating behind me. I didn’t brakecheck, I tapped to alert.

I figured I’d get a response like this. I don’t care.

You wanting to zoom past *all* of us isn’t worth the gravel damage to my car. I care way more about my vehicle than I do your desire to break laws.

That’s how marketing works though, isn’t it? Tesla is a successful brand, and that branding has blinded a lot of the public to what Tesla actually does.
