i don’t think anyone outside of reddit warriors/the terminally online is going to judge you for not researching the backgrounds of corporate executives when making a purchase.

yeah, some of this feels extreme along the lines of “oh, you don’t like trump but you haven’t listed your house since the election and bought property outside the US? So you’re saying you love trump then”

“HA HA HA HA HA HA”

not spectacularly awful but consistently mundane- chrysler seems to quietly change their brands’ badges and branding every ten years or so and no one notices or cares.

I remember my dad was getting a new car at the time and considered this. He ended up going with a 2.7T allroad, which eventually had all of the issues you’d expect.

It’s been a longtime thing, especially when conflating “is this a common issue but we’re singling out tesla because we don’t like musk” (some recalls, cybertruck off-road capabilities on street tires, etc) or “this is an issue unique to tesla” (self driving fiascos, build quality, etc)

Then add in the layer of the difference between skill at doing something versus teaching/coaching it. Using the sports example, how many hall of famers have tanked when getting into coaching after their playing career

This reminds me of similar statistics about porsche that aren’t a surprise once you stop to think about it. Yes, it’s a higher number/rate of cars but miles driven/likelihood of being a daily driver is much lower and they’re more likely to be meticulously maintained.

yep, the real answer is... it depends...on many factors involving vehicle use: your job, your hobbies, location, etc. Feels like one of the minimum wage conversations that doesn’t factor in different costs of living between flint and manhattan

the clickbaity headline reeks of “nutrition health” tik tok: “did you know salt contains chlorine, a poison used for cleaning swimming pools? do you really want to put that in your body?”

a 20 passenger van with tesla’s FSD and no human override controls? I can’t see the robovan being anything but an art deco toaster of death

yep. came to say, “love teh idea, not into the aesthetics”

the hemming and hawing by the police spox sure reeks of “we know we fucked up”

that’s what caused the corey jones killing. Guy with a broken down car full of expensive drumming gear late at night sees an unmarked car with no lights or sirens drive at him the wrong way on a freeway ramp

All i can think of at the mention of “brand logo as design motif” is the mid-90s taurus with ovals everywhere-inside and outside

agree. this looks too much like a “pedestrian” mclaren to justify being a special model, especially compared to how different the P1, senna and speedtail looked relative to the rest of the range at the time

I believe there is a need for police reform as far as it comes to use of force (particularly as it relates to race), but some of the reporting on this seems to be maximizing the turnstile jumping and minimizing that he was holding a knife in his hand during the incident.

Given the relative lack of R-class sales/passenger van sales in general and japan not selling luxury vans over here, this doesn’t seem to cater to anyone but the uber rich that actually would be caught dead being driven around in a minivan

Sir, this is a jalopnik article. The moral acceptance or opposition to something is directly correlated to the identity(ies) of who is involved

Shaq meme: Race in autocratic regimes with awful human rights records - I sleep. Censored F-bomb over team radio in the heat of battle- real shit
