It has a Fallout Pip-Boy style to it that I actually sort of like.

You try staying on your feet after 100lbs of teeth and claws just leaped on top of you.

They aren’t always bad. The LL Bean interior in my 2007 Outback is pretty nice, especially for a $34k car when new.

To be fair though, the majority of Model 3 reservation holders are waiting for the base model, where the fit and finish is about on par with what you’d expect from a $35-$40k car.

As Margin of Error said, even if Elon burns the company to the ground, SOMEBODY will pick up the pieces for at least the car side of the business. Think Ford or GM.

Thank you! I travel relatively frequently for business, and it’s really not that big of a deal. I have a system of packing and dressing that makes security a breeze, even with no checked bags. It’s not rocket science: Don’t be an asshole, give yourself a little extra time (I arrive about an hour and a half before my

Of course. All mainstream EVs starting with the Leaf in 2011 have had regenerative braking. However, no EV can regenerate as fast as they can expend charge. The batteries simply can’t take that much of a recharge all at once, so at high speeds on a track, the standard friction brakes are still going to get a hard

How do you know this doesn’t have character? Jalopnik fawned all over the Morgan 3-wheeler EV, and this is basically the same thing at less than a quarter of the price.

Sure, but that argument could be made for any bike or three wheeler. Hell, even a Miata.

Am I the only one that thinks this could actually be a pretty solid deal?

Our old Honda hybrid would fire up the engine the instant you shifted in park, though, so it was immediately obvious the car was still on when you parked.

The only proximity keyed car we have is a Nissan Leaf, so carbon monoxide isn’t a factor. That said, the car beeps very loudly the instant you step out with the car still “on”.

They used to be very common on Subarus, and the rationale was that the unibody and door beams were already so stiff, they didn’t need to add the extra mass of door trim.

Really? My Subarus have driven through torrential rains and blizzards for years and I’ve never had a single problem with the frameless windows.

Nope, it’s just your Mom’s Lexus...

Pretty sure Dodge will respond in 2024 with the Challenger Beelzebub that simply phases through time and space and does the quarter mile in -2.8 seconds.

Every party has a party pooper...

I see this as one of those brew tour bikes where everyone pedals in a circle around the bartender in the middle, but in car form. It would be great for wine tours and such.

Are you kidding? Atomic, rocket-powered, jet cars are totally going to over the market! Wile-E-Coyote knows a guy.

It’s a $2-3k car at this point, so why bother fixing the pixel displays when you’d never get that back out when they get rid of it? My parents are just waiting for it to break one more time before kicking it to the curb and getting a new one.
