I’m not exactly happy about this administration, but it’s not like a rule was rolled back. Nothing is being taken from you, it’s just not being given to you. Same rule as when Obama was pres.

No one is going to make a “Tesla Killer” until they build the charging infrastructure that Tesla has, or they make their car compatible with Superchargers. The cars aren’t the selling feature, it’s the charging stations.

The Model S and X have been on the road for 5 years with the “only touchscreen” design. No predictions from you necessary. You just have to ask those drivers if they care (we don’t).

My car made the cut! (Half of the front wheel towards the beginning, but it’s something.)

Can we please stop with all this identity politics going on right now? She’s a designer (a pretty good one) and she’s a girl. We don’t always have to be taken down the “this was so much harder for a girl” narrative again and again. As it turns out, becoming an automotive designer (or any aspirational career) is very…

You do know that Tesla has been selling cars for years now, right? every one of these issues on your list was something they dealt with years ago.

you know they already handle all of the issues you brought up right?

Please cite your source for your ridiculous claims of 60+ hour work weeks for 50% industry average wages.

Nice to see you don’t let your own political views influence your writing.

Jesus Christ these next 8 years are gonna be rough...

Other countries put tariffs on imports. I wouldnt mind paying more for goods if it meant more jobs here.

Gawker Media the place where the left can do no wrong, the right is always the enemy, and there’s no such thing as a moderate. It would be nice to come to a website about cars and not have a political spin on every third article.

We need more partisan political Gawker influence in Jalopnik. There hasn’t been enough since they were justifiably bankrupted.

Freddy, quit writing articles about stuff you clearly don’t even understand. Since, if you did understand it you would be way more in tune with the real problems of BMW motors and cars then this shit ass list put together here.

Maybe for your next article you can jump on the IMS bearing failure for Porsche train like…

It should also be noted that in Utah there are strong political ties to powerful dealers. Miller motorsports park sound familiar? Its obvious that the dealers have a vested interest in keeping the direct sales model out of Utah, all that changes is that the cars are shipped up from Nevada to the store here in Utah to…

True, but that doesn’t really mean the architect is the designer either. I am one of these designers you refer to in quotes; I have degrees in Environmental and Industrial Design and I design residences and commercial spaces but I’m not an architect. I do have enough understanding of building codes and how buildings…

This. As someone who works as an industrial designer(automotive related), this is the reality of working in a large studio. Most directors of design get credit for “designing” a car, when in reality, they do little more than the occasional direction and critique(with the caveat:im speaking about a large studio,…

A bit misleading that you just say “Tesla” and not mention the model.

Which Tesla? That did not look like a P85 launch. Much less a P85D. Nor Ludacris mode.

First responder here... Seat belt buttons have been in about the same place for about 50 years. I think we’ve got it.
