Eh, I’m no big fan of Tesla, but based on the (now removed) specs, the Cyber truck is hard to beat. $69k for the top spec 500 + mile range, sub 3 sec 0-60, offers more range and more acceleration at a price that beats Rivian’s base model. Sure others are going to come along, but if (and I know it’s a huge and stupid…

Unless the vehicle is free, subscription models are insulting. If you want to charge me for software updates, fine, but don’t nickel and dime me because you’re not getting the parts and service revenue.

Based on this a case could be made for 2nd degree murder:

Can you guys talk about the fact that while all of these pictures look pretty, they have yet to show any actual prototype? Or maybe the fact that fly by night EV companies, such as this one, continue to crop up, show pretty pictures without any substance or ability to back up their claims, and attempt to scam raise…

Factor in maintenance over 7 years and the Tesla is WAY out front. And I don’t even want to like Tesla.

Completely agree. A friend was looking at a Chevy Bolt, so I went and did a comparison. The upper trim Bolt - which isn’t all that upper trim - comes it at $1,000 OVER a base (but still better specs) Model 3, and that’s with a $5,000 incentive from Chevy.

It’s nice to see fancy Porsche’s and Audi’s but until someone…

There’s a difference between having posts in forums about these solutions and giant articles talking about it. This is how this kind of loophole gets closed.

This is seriously one of the best articles I’ve seen on Jalopnik in a long time. Thanks.

I’ve been working on this for a number of years. I’m getting there, but there are bikes I want that are still out of reach (maybe some day).

Perfect addition for the back seat of an Uber Driver looking to earn those 5 stars. Forget water bottles and usb ports. This is the next wave of service.

As so many others have said, this is how you kill a site. I get you’re hurting for ad rev, but the reason so many of us have switched to blockers and other privacy protecting browsers is specifically because of the way you’re running your ad-stack.

This is just bad.

The writer turn over is one thing, but this is just…

“Musk also claimed the current lockdown mandates over COVID-19 in the U.S. are unconstitutional and wouldn’t hold up in court”

Interesting. In California gift certificates, and gift cards, cannot expire. I would love to have a lawyer chime in here to clarify how gifted miles are different. 

This place has been a great jumping off point for a number of people. Congrats on the climb, and good luck on whatever’s next.

Ah, if only kids who took out student loans had the same level of self-respect and basic understanding of contracts.

Watch them release this with more power than an STi for less money. 

I do not like Elon Musk. I think he is a snake oil salesman. I think his bait and switch deposit scheme on the cheap model 3, and his method of acquisition for Solar City should both be investigated.

Whenever I see these I always pronounce it “zer-at-ee”. I still do. I’m just a child inside my head and should not be allowed to speak to people out loud.
