You’re actually wrong about “lack of charging capabilities” within tiny towns since the majority if not all people who live in tiny towns live in homes where they can relatively easily add a home charger. This is not a situation where everybody in a tiny town all need to go to the small local public refueling station…

Yes, Tesla started and/or popularized a bunch of things (for better or worse) that many other OEMs have started to copy (large touchscreens, OTA software updates, all glass roofs, flush door handles, subscriptions, pre-order hype, big livestreamed product unveilings, etc. etc. etc)

I was wondering this too. Maybe there’s just a microphone that picks up the drivers voice trying to do their best macho man V8 sounds and an audio processing box that modulates all of that for the end result. Kind of like a car exhaust auto-tune.

This study seems to only be looking at drivers of non-Tesla EVs. Because the Tesla’s supercharging network to serve Tesla vehicles has been able to keep pace with Tesla sales just fine for the most part. The problem with non-Tesla EVs is that we only have one decent option for DC fast charging with Electrify America.…

Tesla and a few other EV charging companies have already built out charging stations that have over 40+ charging stalls. And those are DC fast charging which is a lot more expensive to build then level 2 AC chargers. With USPS getting $3 billion, upgrading and installing level 2 chargers at all USPS locations should…

No. There are a multitude of things and other outside forces that have had a much bigger impact at the failure of Cali’s high speed rail project. Vox actually breaks it down very well.

Yep, between this dumb article and the other dumb article just posted about “revolutionary” and “new” Jeep is with their windshield jet being integrated within the wiper, Jose is showing that automotive journalism is simply not his calling.

“A lot of people who were super excited about Tesla a few years ago are already soured on it simply because of Musk’s antics. And he doesn’t show any sign of letting up.”

Just because there was a video showing a backup during CES this year does not mean its a failure. I took that Vegas loop multiple times during CES and it was all fine for me. No it’s not perfect but it definitely beat traveling from one end of convention center to the other side than by any other means (walking or…

You’re not a “old man yells at cloud”, but more of “incompetent person who thinks they know it all without actually using it in real life” because I bet you and everyone else that keep on bitching about “OMGZ SCREENS!” have literally never actually used these systems in real life on a regular basis. The fact is, once…

Remind me in 2 years.

Tesla already builds and sells a vehicle by the boatload. It’s called the Model Y. And the Model Y is partially the reason why the Cybertruck is delayed since the Model Y is taking a higher priority at the new Austin Gigafactory.

Public refueling is already very inconvenient for disabled people and a very good reason why EVs are even better suited for them since they can charge at home and not worry about public chargers. Zach points this out since his wife is disabled.

I believe your experience of “doing everything yourself” is actually the result of you living in a state that bans Tesla from selling directly to the customer. If you did live in a state that allowed the OEM to truly sell directly to you then that OEM can handle the majority of that paperwork.

“I have no way to stop it hounding her.”

Hilarious how America loses its shit when its gas prices are now closer to the prices experienced that the rest of the world have been experiencing for decades.

“Full Self Driving” has absolutely nothing to do with this case. It is “autopilot”.

Yep exactly. The writers here at Jalopnik are definitely on the “Tesla bad, never any good” end of the spectrum. Good example is when they reported when Sandy Munro criticized the build quality of Tesla to be on par with a Kia from the 90s. But when Sandy Munro has praised the amazing engineering of Tesla’s battery,…

Is it actually a crime? If it is then it should be easy for the cops to arrest this small dickhead in the same manner if he recorded himself speeding on the highway. If it isn’t a crime, then we need laws to specifically target anyone else who rolls coal especially targeting somebody.

You’re overreacting just as much as the dumbass in this video. All of the features in the car that affect safety is NOT only all in the one screen. First off, having a speedometer is not a “safety feature” hence why it’s technically not required equipment from NHTSA and you can pass inspections without one in same…
