You could show a very similar graph for the early days of Amazon. It’s called Growth. You don’t sit on your piles of cash, you pour it into growth. Seriously the level of business acumen in the comments section is about 5th grade. 

Hilarious and very jalopnic-eque reporting on this story. Tesla “claims” it turned a profit Q3? Publicly traded companies are regulated and their accounting is highly scrutinized. Quarterly earnings reports are not claims. And your source of analysis on the Q3 report is The Verge? LOL. Why, was People magazine too…

So much as a fender bender involving a Tesla and Jalopnik is all over it. Meanwhile Telsa’s earnings report is out of this world and the stock jumps 20%....crickets.

Having owned my Model S for 5 years now, I’m frequently told what an unreliable poorly built ticking time bomb I am driving. For some reason mine doesn’t seem to have any problems. Must just be me. 

Porsche’s use of the term Turbo to describe the performance trim of their EVs....could they be any more stuck in the 20th century. What’s next, fake engine noises? oh wait they already love that.

Is it just me or does the lead picture look like the helicopter is trapped in a tractor beam coming from that boat? I can’t unsee it.

Is it tolerant to disrespect someone because you disagree with the political positions of their spouse? Just checking because I know you people here are experts on tolerance. 

Pet peeve, New Yorkers in speaking to a worldwide audience refer to NYC as “the city”, especially in this case when it’s the title of your article. NYC is A city. It isn’t THE city. My condolences to the family of the deceased, but in a world where probably dozens of people were killed on bicycles the same day, I’m…

Automotive journalists need to stop talking about “steering feel” in 3 row SUVs. Would you talk about towing capacity in reviewing a 911? No one buying in this segment is interested in steering feel. 

How is ordering Pizza from London any different than ordering anything from anywhere? I order something from Amazon, it comes from China. Seems like ordering a pizza and having it delivered around the world is odd and probably futile in terms of tasting good, but it is far from an extravagant money to burn type of…

The guy who solved the affordable space launch conundrum and launched the fastest growing car company in the last century needs the input of a government bureaucrat like Michael Jordan needed input from his kid’s high school basketball coach. 

You should probably sit in the car before you comment on the user interface. There are no little buttons on the steering wheel. The volume is controlled with a physical scroll wheel. About as conventional as you get.

I’ll bet a wheat grass smoothie that hair-touching story is 100% fabrication. it reads like fan fiction for the race-obsessed.

With a fantasy non-existent charging network that will take a decade or more to roll out given the permitting required to build them, 3 years of free charging is just about worthless.

I’m more interested in why someone would want a PPI on a 2003 Chevy S10 like it’s a vintage 911 or something.

So the Governor of the state of California can impose his own own fuel economy standards on cars made in foreign countries, but the President of the United States cannot? Please.

There are a lot of us that wish that. 

Amen.

Euro pedestrian safety regs are ill conceived. It’s like requiring bridges to be less hazardous to jumpers. Not to mention they’re responsible for some of the worst front end designs every put to paper. I’m looking at you, last gen BMW 5 series.
