The headline should totally reflect reality here. We should all know from the start that Hoonigan, of the Ken Block era, did not accrue $1,200,000,000 in debt. Its parent company who bought them, and then adopted the name, did.

“She’ll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene!”

Buyer is 1000% at fault here.  Don’t spend your money on something you don’t take the time to check over.  Too bad for their situation but,  their fault.  

$11k for a used wheelchair van? This is on the buyer. I’m sorry but they are expensive for a reason. That’s like paying $500 for a regular car and expecting it to do a Cannonball run with no issues.

I feel like Jaguar died when they canceled the F-Type. A sports car company with no sports car has lost its raison de etre.

Perhaps that’s true among the Jalopnik reading crowd, which might have been 20% of Tesla’s potential buyers. And make no mistake, that 20% matters.

Story about seeing Tesla cars from space includes no images of seeing cars from space....

Well, when you own a Porsche, you want it to stand out. So they charge you more for the ‘stand out’ colors. When you drive a Mirage, you really rather not be noticed. So they charge you more for the generic white color!

I completely disagree. The Blackwood was the forefront of what see on the roads today—behemoth crew cab pickups with dinky beds that are option-loaded so they cost an eye-watering $70K to $100K. Since the roads are full of Blackwood clones nowadays, the original must be one of the (ugh) best since so many pickups…

Sounds a hell of a lot better doing it though. And rather better to drive than a nose heavy FWD pig of a car with a big V6 up front, having plenty of seat time in both.

Tesla Cybertrucks garner a whole lot of attention, and apparently, one guy who bought his stainless steel behemoth didn’t realize that.

Throttlehouse tested this in their review too. Carrots...cans... all kinds of things can get mangled.

According to this data, Tesla models lose value twice as fast as Alfa Romeo and three times as fast as Maserati. This massive depreciation drop is mostly tied to Elon’s decision to constantly cut prices on new models, forcing an ever-widening gap for pre-owned cars.

Ahh the old “rebate stack” gotta love those. I make jokes about them all the time. You need to be a retired military vet that recently graduated college, is trading in a competitive OEM model, have a 750+ credit score, play squash on Tuesdays, watch cricket and be a supporting member of the ASPCA and have your AARP…

I’ve got no time for Musk or his apologists, but this trend of applying purity tests to the products people buy - based on the person who makes them - is not sustainable. You don’t have to be a Musk fanboy to enjoy owning a Tesla.

No, literally no, but it is hyperbola. Like if somebody wrote the headline “Poison Detected in McDonald’s Hamburgers”, and the story read “arsenic was discovered in testing of samples of McDonalds hamburger, the samples averaged 3 parts per billion, well under the threshold for safety set by the CDC.

Rational author: “Tesla asked to update under-sized warning lights on most of their U.S.-sold vehicles”

Two things can be true:

I’d buy one because I think they are cool and it would make me happy.
