Kyle, pat yourself on the back for Protect and Swerve. It’s not a funny incident but that headline was hysterical.

The number of peope who work for Twitter and Tesla and SpaceX are not enough to shift the car market like even a fraction of a percent when spread over the next however many years.

More likely he (like other CEOs) have tax credits built into their shiny new buildings and factories that revolve around a certain number…

Exactly! How come Jalopnik never has stories about about all the cops that the police don’t run over?!

Not to mention some EV small to midsize picks that will actually sell. 

“This website hates cops...”

Yeah, fuck cops. I’m not sure I see what your problem is.

How can you say that? Don’t you know that corporations are people? /s

Jalopnik needs to have a live presence at the Nov 30th Introduction
