It’s inefficient as in its carrying around a ginormous battery.

Part of the point of an electric vehicle is to be efficient, to use less fossil fuels. So efficiency is a big part of the point. It’s like making a pizza with half the fat of a regular pizza per ounce, but then tripling the serving size. Did it really help or just make a lateral move?

Nice of Jalopnik to spec the 911 photo with a rear wiper, right above that comment.

EVs are the perfect solution for millions upon millions of people. Even if you do not give a solitary shit about the environment (which tends to be a leading argument), the convenience factor of plugging into your house and having a full battery every morning and never stepping foot at a gas station again, the…

I haven’t listened to TST in awhile, but I remember Farah talking about how the algo basically demanded he only do videos on vehicles that work as potential investments, and All Cars Go to Heaven got destroyed despite it being one of his highest-production value videos. Also, nobody wants to hear about motorcycles…

He let the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers out of prison. He can just tell them to shoot everyone driving an EV and sales will collapse immediately.

Seeing as SCOTUS basically declared him immune from all crime while POTUS, I don’t think we can put that much faith in the courts. His EO trying to straight up overturn part of the 14th amendment makes for a very early litmus test just how crazy this can get.

You’ve got to give them credit for at least attempting to have a spine, unlike a lot of corporate America who are terrified of the Y’allqueda movement in this country.

The entire existence of StreetSpeed717. He’s a transphobic dick who pollutes water for fun and thinks the laws shouldn’t apply to him because he’s a good ol’ boy. The $58k fine he got wasn’t harsh enough.

100 years ago Drumpf would be trying to repeal the imaginary gasoline mandate, to ensure a future still full of horses and streets covered in horseshit.

Every single video Scotty Kilmer makes.

Here’s what I would look at if I was in that situation

Well for sure in Germany.

Part of the problem is that they think Toyota is the one selling them their Camry. But it isn’t, it is a US-based corporate entity. That US-based entity both buys the imported goods from the manufacturer at wholesale price AND pays the tariff to the US government. The tariff makes each imported item cost the importer…

Elon Musk is a straight up Nazi. If you’re still driving a Tesla, you’re saying you’re okay with Nazism. If you’re buying a Tesla, you’re saying you’re a straight up Nazi too.

And clearly nothing to do with supply chain disruptions due to incompetent leadership.

eh, the last bout of inflation was caused by all of the money that was given away during the covid pandemic.

It blows my mind that anyone believes that tariffs aren’t paid by consumers. A tariff is just another tax increase, plain and simple...but it’s regressive. I guess the orange man has to find a way to pay for tax cuts for the top 1%.

Well, hopefully his lil Nazi salute this week has permanently lost him a whole new swath of potential buyers - in Canada and everywhere else.

For the mathphobes — a 25% price increase on $50K car puts it at $62.5K, which is bonkers.  I’d think that’s unattainable for at least ~50% of the population. So then watch used car prices jump by at least 20% due to massive demand. So then watch car thefts increase accordingly, and Uber/Lyft prices going up, etc.
