It’s like you choose to completely ignore economies of scale.

Here’s the thing—I have both a Model 3 and am F80 M3. In the right setting, the M3 is a riot. It’s super fun to wind it out, and I love shifting for myself.

Spoken like someone who’s literally never driven it. The Bolt is a nice EV, the Model 3 is a great car. 

Im guessing you don't live in Southern California.  The model 3 is like what BMW 3 series used to be-freaking everywhere.  There's one at every stoplight.  It's crazy.

Hey Jalopnik, you have mistakenly added the comments from a Tesla story to the bottom of an article about the C-8 Corvette.

call me when ICE cars stop receiving billions upon billions of explicit and implicit fossil fuel subsidies like they have been getting for the last century.

Opinions are what they are: To each their own!

Bruh its a fucking stepping stone. You can’t just build a $25k car with brand new technology. We’ve had like 7.19 million years to prefect the ICE engine.

What about it is making you smile like an idiot, though?

I mean, it’s pretty straightforward. Tesla is on the vanguard of producing long range EVs and building the charging infrastructure necessary to make them a realistic alternative to ICE cars. The Model S showed these vehicles could be mass produced, but still in fairly limited numbers serving a small niche market.

Now I’m a little less excited about having to run my ICE car in the future.

I fully agree.

The absolute best thing about the C8 is that it definitively tells boomers to wrap it the hell up, and exit stage left. Your time is over, and we don’t care if you don’t buy this car. I am 51 years old, and I just purchased and Alfa Romeo Giulia Sport TI, and when my lease is up on that car, I will seriously consider…

“The model 3 moving the needle on adoption of electric cars remains to be seen.”

Because shut up, Kyle.

Pan Am Flight 759 in 1982 crashed immediately after takeoff in New Orleans due to a microburst.  While odds are they won’t bring down a plane, it definitely happens.  I agree, both did their jobs and everyone got home.  That’s really all that matters. 

I’m not really seeing any fails here. I just read a writeup on an incident where ATC played the “a bunch of other plans flew through it just fine” card, and a lot of people died when a microburst whipped up.

Pilot saw something that made him uneasy, and didn’t fly through it. ATC kept him from hitting anybody.…

The rest of the auto industry had better be putting every goddamn thing they have into beating Tesla.

What a horrendously bad take.

In the time that has elapsed since I’ve purchased my last two cars, both financed at an average rate of between 3 and 4% APR, my brokerage account made 15.5% APY. Consider it a counterargument.
