Jalopnik continues it’s slow slide into complete irrelevancy. 

you mean like freezing bank accounts ?

Lol. These reports with no footage to back them up are stacking up. 

That’s 98 and 131 kWh USABLE, that’s the net number. If Ford is using a 10% battery buffer in Lightning, like they do in Mustang Mach-E, the total capacities are ~108 and ~145 kWh. Check out the other slides from that presentation for the clarification. 

1) there are no conservative democrats. At best, there are moderate democrats
2) I love reading stuff like this. The best part about the left is that they stick together until something reaches critical mass and they eat their own.

What’s not to like?

Haiti? I mean I only did a couple minutes of googling but looks like they had much bigger problems with their energy grid than Texas. Not to mention, one issue does not define the entire state as a failed state. I’m not saying Texas doesn’t have issues, but you are painting in some seriously broad strokes.

You do realize if we went to a system like that, all we would see is a bunch of rich people renouncing their citizenship in favor of one of the 2-3 other ones they have right?

Deep down, they know that, but don’t care.

Well I will never buy a GM vehicle again. Seatbelts aren’t the COVID vaccine. The only person I can hurt by not buckling up is myself, and I have every right to make that call. I live in a condo building, I pull up to a loading area, unload my groceries into a cart then drive a few hundred yards to my parking space. I…

I’d love this when I’m backing my car out of the garage to get it out of the way of something I’m working on, or when I move it from the driveway to the garage, or when I’m moving it to get another car out, or doing one of the million other things that don’t really require a seat belt.

You do realize that a routine traffic stop can go from “routine” to “shots fired” in roughly .2 seconds, right? Similarly, a cop on patrol can be called to a bank robbery in progress. Should they leave the place a couple blocks over to go back to the station, retrieve their firearms, and then return to the scene to…

Is Jalopnik still a site for automotive enthusiasts? Am I missing something?

Yes, please. Imagine that not everything needs to be affiliated with a political fashion. Life is much better that way. Really had to start skimming for truck information and around what has become typical Jalop BS.

1. This truck is about the same size as a Ram 1500 in Length and a 2500 in Width and Height. The hood scoop isn’t that obtrusive. If you’re saying that driving a half-ton sized pickup around in a city sucks, I guess you’re right. That isn’t really a fresh-take, though. Nose visibility is poor in all trucks this sized.

Can there be a time and place for it around here, though? I don’t mind you guys addressing all that political stuff to some extent, but having that suck up like half the characters in a “review” is exhausting. Shouldn’t a review mainly be about the vehicle’s accomplishment of it’s intended purpose?

I love this truck and I do love Jalopnik, I’ve been a follower since 2008.  But for the love of god, can you guys just write automotive articles without predicating them on heated and politically debated topics.  Just providing a hyperlink doesn’t add to any credibility and it takes away from the actual content at…

This is absolutely true. There’s no way that auto manufacturers can take Jalopnik, as a automotive website, seriously anymore. The hot takes, personal bias, and political rants of some of the few who have stayed have dragged this website down.  If I was Tesla, I’d tell Jalopnik to go pound sand too.  Heck, Nissan gave…

As a long-time reader of Jalopnik, well over 10 years, and a loyal fan to a fault, it pains me to say this but the fact of the matter is...Jalopnik is no longer viewed as a media entity worth responding to by Tesla or any other major manufacturer. It surprises me that so many articles here point out that “I’ve reached…

Interesting. Now what about the controller, wiring, battery and everything else?
