While the valuation seems insane, Tesla is, in fact, the only U.S. manufacturer that stands a chance against the onslaught of cheap Chinese EV’s. In fact, the Chinese EV manufacturers largely copied Tesla’s model of tight, vertical integration. If the future is inevitably EV, then Tesla is one of the very few Western…

As much as I hate the Cybertruck, this is completely normal for a lightbar. It’s why no OEMs sell them or install them. And as for soldering.. uhh.. I do it all the time and I’ve never had one fail. I use quick connects for lightbars and other accessories usually, but I’ve spliced wires with solder so many times over…

I’m all for shitting on Tesla any day of the week, but this is a non-issue. Light bars ARE illegal for on-road use. No OEM even offers them. Off-road focused vehicles do come with the auxiliary switches for them, but the purchase and installation is up to the owner. 

Crook remembered a case where his detectives drove 630 miles to Mexico to transport a potentially dangerous subject in their vehicle.

I recognize there are a million considerations before “hurricane evacuation” when shopping for cars, but this is one of those times where a 300+ mile range EV and a home charger really stand out as a good option. If only there weren’t decades of political rhetoric calling them stupid and not good in emergency…

So I went and searched out the video of the Las Vegas crash.

Hey look, another whining Jalopnik article about Elon.

the stock price is down nearly nine percent. 

Deliberately misleading clickbait titles? On Jalopnik?! You don’t say

Are there any other options left?  Doesn’t sound much different than non-EV people.

Why is your one example proof of that?

You have to try to do this. The app notifies you that you have an update. You have to click start the update now or whatever the go button says. Then it gives you a two minute countdown to change your mind and cancel (or exit the vehicle). Then it starts to update. Incidentally, I’ve never had an update take 40…

As someone working for another car manufacturer and doing mechanical engineering for battery packs this article is quite funny. But I can see where your confusion is coming from. This time at least it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Not utilizing major aerodynamic component on vehicle specifically designed to include said component negatively impacts aerodynamics.  Water is also wet.  More news at 10.

Last year, SpaceX had two Starships fail to reach the stratosphere, instead one blew up on the launch pad, while a second exploded mid-air.

I’m not going to give a YouTuber the clicks, but based on what is shown/stated here, the Cybertruck would not pull once the Silverado was already pulling the Cybertruck backwards. That seems to be a logical safety for an electric motor vehicle where the motors are presumably rotating in the direction required for the…

Honestly, stopping every 100 miles or so for a top off isn’t a big deal to me. I’m an Old Fart. My bladder and Back can’t go much over 2 hours in a vehicle regardless and getting out for 20-30 minutes to walk around and get a couple of the kinks out isn’t a bad idea.

This is an extraordinarily stupid statement on multiple levels.

This is one of the dumbest takes I’ve read on Jalopnik all year (and that’s saying a lot). The “extremely lopsided on paper” comment completely OMITS what was admitted in the very first paragraph: the Cybertruck is towing a copy of the car it’s racing!

Can we please acknowledge the fact that if this had been a Tesla, or any other EV, we would NOT have been talking about the damn overpriced tumbler keeping the drink cold. Headline would have been more like “Yet another EV catches fire”. This is another reminder that ICE vehicles are more prone to catching fires than…
