The X was always ugly, but now, it look downright silly.

24 hours! It took him 24 hours to come up with that!

1st Gear:
people at this point are probably fed up with overinflated car prices. The souring economy isn’t helping either.

2nd Gear:
At this point I’d say its going to only get worse for Tesla. Musk has a lot to do with the blame. In stretching himself thin the lineup and its technology is getting stale. The Model S has…

You should all read the book A Savage Factory, which is about life on the inside of a Ford plant in the ‘70's. I bought a copy after someone here recommended it. Good read. Ford has always sucked.

Musk is just bumping TSLA so he can continue selling off shares. He can, if he wants, tilt that poll in his favor.

Get back to me in 10 years. I guarantee you’ll be wrong.

Tesla is squandering their lead and I would not be surprised if they are a cautionary tale in 10-15 years.

Neutral: Not related to battery production, but I actually think this the genius of the Mach-E and whatever the Corvette equivalent of that is going to be. There’s a large class of middle-american doofus that is always going to look at an EV as some kind of goofy foreign thing. Forcing an EV to breed with the most…

I'm a firm believer that those who are in charge of enforcing the law, rather than getting free rides when they break those laws, should be subject to twice the penalty that normally applies to those crimes.  

Can we stop calling them the far-right? It's just the right at this point.

Can’t we just watch Ronin?  

1st Gear: It’s underrated how much the design of the vehicle matters in safety. Tool access, clearance, weight of subcomponents, etc are all heavily considered in DFMEAs and DVP&Rs at experienced automakers. You don’t fix the problems with just the plant, it’s tough.

These looked much nicer before they squared up the C-pillar. Find me one like this in true mint condition and the price might be more reasonable.

Right. Musk has never lied before so we can totally take his word for it.

Nothing screams “lock up your children” like a late-80's, early-90's windowless, rusted out, powder blue van. My stepdad owned one of these (a Ford Econoline) when I was a teenager and I would use it to transport my zero-radius mower to jobs. The perfect juxtaposition of the Chester’s van stereotype and the…

So, according to Marco Rubio, a white supremacist being assaulted is by definition an attack on someone for being a Republican?

Sierras looking better than Silverados

I like it!

Regardless that man had no right to stop, put his hands on and detain the kid.  That is whole fucking point of the outrage.  

1st Gear: I would argue that Tesla is only “luxury” in price. The inside of the 3 and Y are much less luxurious than my 9 year old Lexus CT (the cheapest Lexus) and about on par with my 15 year old Highlander Hybrid. The Model 3 and a Camry/Altima/Accord are probably better comparisons, even though I would easily give…
