It’s definitely amusingly sensitive for what it advertises but it’s not all that different from any other surface care products and how much you care about perfection vs good enough. Eyeglasses for example: some would scoff at windex on a paper towel where others would say it does the job just fine

fair enough, my point still stands though. Tesla invites a lot of valid criticism via outrageous claims and musk’s general behavior. Also, jalopnik is well known to mix their existing biases into their reporting/create content whole cloth that barely relates to transportation but scratches their political itch, which…

fair points and a matter of preference i suppose. ceramic coating takes a lot less effort maintenance-wise to look its best. Just washing it has almost the same result as 2 stage polishing.

they do a good job of protecting the paint underneath but stuff like waxing, wiping with non-microfiber etc will mar up the coating. Technically your paint is still safe, but something you spent money on is damaged and the surfaces have marks until you redo it.

i’m far from a musk/tesla apologist, but near every jalopnik article criticizing tesla requires the reader to do research to determine if the issue is unique to tesla (self driving claims), or common but the site is choosing to single out tesla (cybertruck can’t get up an incline driveway on all season tires in a foot…

i bet the same people were cool with first responders sharing accident scene photos of kobe bryant and that his wife was out of bounds for going after them (she married a sports star! she knew what she was getting into)   /s

and the gg allin biopic!

I don’t even want to know what power/ego driven awfulness will eventually come to light with A24. The last indie studio with this much “it factor” and box office/awards success was...miramax

the most important question remains unanswered... does it still have a CD player?

those seats look awfully down market for what will be a (assumed) $60k sport variant

if this is anything other than margot robbie doing a dramatic reading of the sims 3 patch notes i’m out

you must be new here. Every tesla article requires the reader to do their own research re: is this a tesla-unique problem or is this a common occurrence but we’re going to single out tesla

coming to a youtube channel near you, “2025"

While more tone-deaf about humanitarian/environmental issues, i do wonder how F1 stacks up pollution-wise with other top sports/entertainment.

annoying as hell but still a few notches better than his “smile”

Can’t you read? The transporter clearly states “MAN”, not “WoMAN”! /s

exactly, a similar example would be picture quality of a movie on bluray, being played on a crt tv

reminds me of the very early BLM tactic of disrupting “white brunch restaurants”

This happened a week ago. What reason is there to report this now (other than keeping the airline/plane outrage click train rolling)?

it’s a 15 year old car
