They'll get the kinks worked out eventually. They'll have to.

No, you are confusing cranckcase ventilation with EGR. The crankcase vent to the intake can clog up with oil and a catch can is useful there. The EGR in a diesel cloggs up with exhaust soot. These are 2 unrelated issues. A catch can will not keep the EGR from clogging up with soot.

Or buy an electric car. You’ll never need to worry about emissions then.

Or just buy a electric car...

Glad I bought a Volt... cross shopped it with a TDI Sportwagen

Next time buy a car with a gas engine. #YesIWentThere

Ah David Axe...the bastion of objectivity...

There are reasonable arguments in the F-35’s favor:

That’s funny, a lot of other people have found WIB to be disengeneous and most of their stories about the f35 have been debunked.

Oh yes WIB, they’re not biased at all.

Cheaper purchase price, yes, but they will depreciate much faster and cost more to operate (gas, brake pads and more). Their warranties run out faster too. Cost of ownership is the thing to consider.

To call it “junk” you’d have to be pretty stupid or an absolute douche. It's a marvelous machine. Maybe not every inch of it is a luxurious as a top of the line Mercedes, but who cares? That's not what you're paying for. And it actually is quite a capable performer outside of its acceleration.

The Model S starts at $69.9k while an S class starts at $95.6k, A8 at $81.5k, and the 7 at $81.3k. Not only is the Model S base way cheaper than the others like you said it was the new hot thing to buy. The car was getting so much press from buzzfeed and the like. They are comparing all the sales of a car that starts…

Numbers to numbers for the same 0-60 time same level of luxury and size the tesla is a better deal than the germans, or english luxury sedans. There is a massive bias in the comments section about tesla here. Put the car in context:

I assume you’ve never sat in a Tesla let alone driven one. I have. Sorry- the Model S is the single best car I’ve ever sat in or driven. period.

Yeah that’s why Porsche clearly feels the need to build a car to compete with it... Because Teslas are awful....

Having driven my boss’s P85 and taken many long roadtrips in it, I have to say this statement is pretty much 100% true. The only people who are able to dis the Model S are people who either haven’t driven it or have so much rabid brand-snobbery in their hearts that they actually think the CLA 250 is a “good deal”

Those are wonderful cars, but that doesn’t make the Tesla “junk,” or overpriced because you do have the added technology of the electric drivetrain. That does make a tiny bit of a difference, you know. I will add one qualifier to my other Tesla statement. No one who isn’t a moron has ever been in a Tesla and called it…

This is probably the reason why the Tesla Model S has been destroyed in consumer reviews, and why sales never took off.

these are 100% the worst people in the jalopnik community. nobody gains anything from disparaging something that’s actually, and not ostensibly or arguably, great. it’s fucking stupid. tesla rules sorry.
