I always wonder about people who sit crammed up against the steering wheel when they’re clearly tall enough to put their seat back into a safe position.

They’re actually making this:

What we wanted:

I really thought this was the ONE place sad Tesla stans would have nothing to say

Weird nerds valid criticism dot jpeg

Yup, came to say just this.

So sad

The interiors were already cheap plasticky disappointment cabins to begin with, how much worse are they going to get?

This is the saddest little comment I’ve ever seen on Jalopnik - and you’re on a site that includes commenters who think their personalized Tesla license plates are a personality trait.

The Mercedes W123 had this placement years ago

Except they can’t get us there any faster. That’s a myth that Tesla likes to encourage, but the truth is the data they gather from its driver support tools is not applicable to Level 3 and above true autonomy.

All of the examples in this article are correct, but it’s missing these genuinely pretty cars:

The point is that “technology” means an incredibly wide array of things, of which only a tiny, tiny subset includes pictures on a touchscreen.

Polestar gets so many things right that the other EVs get wrong. It’s a shame this will probably be priced in Taycan territory.

It should have been Debra Messing, and I will die on that hill.

Go find me actual original MSRPs for cars throughout the year. That info’s not just sitting in one easy place, I’ve looked often enough.

Yup, you nailed it. It’s entirely a cost-cutting measure for the automakers, and a way to brag that they added more “features” without making the car any better.

1. “Technology” is not a synonym for gimmicks on touchscreens. The Bollinger B1/B2 has lots of technology, and no screens at all.

I’m not here to tell people how to spend their money. But I am here to say some people don’t deserve to have that money in the first place.
