lmao you buried this in the 8th paragraph of a 10 graph story.  the guy was given a clear directive from management and he chose not to follow it.  end of story.  any employee anywhere should expect to be fired for such a decision.

Sitting anywhere for 45 minutes waiting for a charge is unacceptable.

This is what police officers readily do, putting their lives on the line to save others. Pity that a tiny fraction of bad cops on a power trip ruin it for the rest

What the fuck is this? Written by someone who has no concept of reality outside of NYC? On a CAR centric website?

Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.

So Jalopnik really out here making us all resort to google to see the before and afters, huh.

Ok. Slowly and clearly.

What the hell is this list? A lot of this is just miscategorizing cars, and the other half is hating for what they are comparatively instead of thinking of what they could be with just a little bit of effort or placing them in their era.

The Monte Carlo was never a muscle car. It started out as a brougham luxury coupe, …

Some of the commenters who contributed to this slide show need to check their facts. Max horsepower in the 3rd gen Camaro was 245 from the 1992 350, not 145. Pretty sucky but competitive for the day. And considering the 2004 Mustang GT 12 years later only made 260, it’s not too shabby.

The driver is definitely at fault - yes, because of the legal jargon slung at the driver before they’re allowed to use the system, and yes, because the driver is in charge and has to exercise the judgment and caution required to make sure they don’t go around endangering people. That part is a slam dunk, unless…

I don’t see how this is the county’s fault. It’s pretty basic knowledge that you don’t leave your vehicle in a snowstorm. Sounds like the family is lashing out because they don’t want to recognize their son/brother made a poor choice. Sad stuff for sure 

I think that their goal isn’t to sell batteries, but to get bought by another company.

$40k for a 400-mile range EV pickup is not expensive, Erik.

Exactly. It blows my mind when people want to spend ~$40,000+ on a depreciating asset to save ~$500 a year on gas. In reality most of these cases are really “I want a new car because I want it” (like you mentioned).

As the resident ( I think only) actual honest-to-goodness Train Conductor on the Jalop message board, I’ll comment on a few things here:

Basically I wanted this:

Apologies, but of the 300 daily Tesla/Musk articles Jalopnik shits out, I am having trouble finding the one about the Model Y getting top safety honors from IIHS. Can someone point me to that article? Thanks

The problem isn’t that she didn’t say “word” before the end buzzer, it’s the 5-6 second pause she took. If you’ve never watched the show before, you have to say the whole thing in a relatively succinct, continuous, and complete way. It’s often why the contestants sound like monotone idiots that have never read before;…

Wow..What a terrible, terrible take.

...Volkswagen sends you a letter in the mail telling you so.
