And Ford sells more trucks in a month than Tesla sells (across all models) in a quarter. Tesla is small. Once EV manufacturing is financially manageable, I have no doubt other manufacturers will follow.

So - your friend didn’t know any of the information associated with her account, got locked out, got BACK in despite not knowing that information - and it’s Apple that made the “garbage that shouldn’t be on the market”? I moved off of Apple years ago and never looked back but this seems like less of an Apple problem…

Except he sells more electric cars than anyone else, with the best range and far and away the best charging infrastructure. And Tesla is a part-time gig for him.

How so exactly? Barnum told lies that never materialized, Musk has literally FORCED every lux car maker to seriously consider EVs, to that point that BILLIONS are now being poured into making them, and that companies like Benz and VW have stated will go all EV at some point soon.

Remind me of who is that other guy that created, from whole cloth, a successful American car company in the last, oh 100 years? And with a revolutionary design? And a successful aerospace company? And a successful tech/finance company (that’s Paypal in case you forgot)? I’m not even a Musk fanboy, but for fuck’s sake,…

argument seems reasonable, but definitely not an equilateral triangle. More likely isosceles, but probably scalene. :) 

What use is radical designs for reducing costs, and specially re-tooled lines to build them in bulk, if it is a niche product that won’t sell enough to attain the necessary economies of scale? Let’s face it, the opinions of we Jalopniks, no matter how much more we think we know than everyone else, don’t actually amount…

This is absolutely the right answer and basically what I’ve been explaining to people who have asked me about it. That 3+mm thick stainless steel is actually 5x as thick as a lot of exterior body panels on typical cars and trucks (which are typically made of fairly soft, weak steel on cosmetic surfaces), and has a…

GUUUUUUH I’m so tired of answering this question. The sources are not hard to find if you look.

You started losing me at thongs, then totally lost me with not resting your steaks.

I personally wish businesses would tow vehicles that are taking 2 spots in their lots. Ugh I just wish.

Well, I never mentioned LO because the F-16 isn’t even LO to begin with. What’s your point?

Why let those facts get in the way of the narrative? When you can twist, distort and use whatever data you have for your own distorted views on the matter ;). So lets pile on 2 CFT’s on the F-16, lets also put a centerline tank on it, lets put a couple of large bombs, a nice high end targeting pod and a couple of…

Also, how is the F-16 getting CFTs and F-35 issue? This is not an F-35 piece.

You’re grasping on this one. F-35 has its issues (moreso on the project management side than the vehicle itself, which was money-bombed into shape), but it outclasses the competition on range with internal fuel alone.

Tyler, I know that F-35 rants and general anti-F35 sentiment have been a boon to readership in the past for you, but as the F35 proves it’s a capable aircraft and the inevitability of its longterm service, it’s going to lose you some credibility (whether you are right or not).

The offload for an F-35 on a mission where the F-16 (even with CFTs) has to top-off on the way in and get a splash on the way back will be zero.

This entire story is a mixture of insanity and garbage written only to discredit the F-35. The engineers and scientists who developed the F-35 are not a bunch of idiots the story insinuates. Military aviation magazines tell a completely different story describing capabilities of the F-35 will be introduced in a…

Yes other countries have updated the weapon and combat systems. It still doesn't negate that fact that it's an out of date weapon platform and will not survive a full out modern naval engagement.

I wish there were more Authentication apps that worked like Microsoft Account one on Android. It makes two-factor authentication really simple by just asking you to approve requests when you try to log in to your account.
