Honestly, the bizarre obsession with just bashing Tesla relentlessly is so over the top on this site it’s just weird. It just reeks of unhealthy insecurity, or some weird fixed ideology. Jalopnik needs to give it a rest, it really doesn’t look good for the site. It’s just fucking bizarre.

Exactly. It’s as if half of the editorial writers at Jalopnik wandered over from Jezebel.

Since when it is industry standard to subtract rollout? If it was industry standard Telsa wouldn’t need to add a disclaimer to the 2.6 second claim. Moreover, the 2.6 second 0-60 is the only one with the disclaimer. The other two trim levels don’t have it because Tesla is apparently only subtracting rollout for the…

No way in hell I’m letting someone put a device on my car that restricts its speed/acceleration. I don’t condone reckless speeding in traffic, but I do enjoy taking my car and motorcycle out on a empty country road and having some fun. This is still a car enthusiast blog, right? Seams like the last few years it’s been …

I think it’s your parental instinct to see threats that you ignored before. I’m slightly older than you and the roads seem exactly the same now as ever and I’m in a bigger midwest city so I’ve got the full gambit of jackoffs in giant coal rolling trucks, shitty beaters, Euro douchebags, minivans and crossover moms, you…

Based on no evidence, I would assume the Venn Diagram of people who use TikTok and people with paper maps are 2 completely separate circles.

I’m a firm believer that you should be able to not only turn right on red, but also go straight, or turn left on red if a safe opportunity presents itself 

Unions are a cancer.  They benefit a small group of people at the expense of the society they extort.

Given that some Tesla buyers paid $15k for imaginary FSD, paying just over half that and actually getting something doesn’t seem like such a bad deal.

“Unscrupulous towing companies” is so redundant.

A phev uses 1/4-1/5 of the battery of a full electric. It can provide 90% of the daily use as full electric.

I hope he loses. I hope he falls is a vat of mule semen.

Nope. Overpopulation from people breeding like rats is the real-deal climate change problem.

My wife and I were buying a base Kia Soul several years back for use as a commuter car. The car had been sitting, mostly hidden, on the lot for a while, I assume so they could advertise having a cheap base model and then steer customers into more expensive models when they came in. At any rate, it was a cold night…

GAP is theoretically for the life of the loan. Not for the next year. I don’t even know where you got that from. Obviously, there’s going to be a point where what you owe is equal to or less than what insurance is expected to pay out if your car gets totaled. But that’s about 3 or so years of payments. Maybe more…

That would require actual research and effort. Some people would call it journalism.

Finance person: “The anti-theft etching is $750...”
Me: “I didn’t ask for that and I’m not paying for it.”
Finance person “But it’s already been done...”
Me: “ I don’t care. I didn’t ask for that and I’m not paying for it.”
Finance person “Well we can’t take it off, so...”
Me: “Not my problem. I didn’t ask for it and I’m…

Surely you’re not implying that there is some click-baiting going on?

I won’t sell family members or friends vehicles UNLESS they get a warranty.

When one of the tools is an analog to the key, two tools is twice as many as I would have expected.
