Sounds like you are just jealous you can’t afford one and this is like updating your phone in the middle of a 911 call!

To be fair it did have a emergency release; she was to dumb to use

Headline sounds like a hit piece. Stated differently: “Tesla addresses voluntary recall to every vehicle with OTA update and no customer impact”

The 5-10% of usage that needs to use the generator during peak usage doesn’t make the remaining 90% moot.

China was a war torn colonial playground just 100 years ago. A big mistake we as Americans make is judging other parts of the world by our current conditions.

You only say this because you don’t really understand what is happening. You’re still one of those who think put-put cars are the default type of vehicle, the be-all, end-all which serves all our needs. THAT IS NOT SO.

A decent number of people buy Tesla because of the performance. I know I did. 0-60 in 3 seconds and flat cornering!

First Gear: I scrolled through the comments a bit and most are off the mark. Tesla’s inroads into the luxury segment have nothing to do with fit/finish or performance. If you want to make a comparison, then look at the iPhone; Tesla ownership is first and foremost about being fashionable, just like iPhone ownership.…

Actually, it appears Telsa US sales were actually 192,000 in 2019. This site appears to mark their global deliveries at 367K.

Nobody took Tesla’s strategy seriously 10 years ago, well, here we are and everyone is left in the dust. I can’t help but think the oil industry had alot to do with this.  They must have influenced the legacy carmakers in some way or another that Tesla is not and never will be a threat.

When Tesla screws up: Jalopnik goes out of its way to remind people how bad of a misstep it is. Repeatedly.

Very big.

The only problem with this is that for EVs, range is a performance stat - as important as any other. And every Porsche enthusiast is going to want their EV to outperform the competition when they pull into the local EV car show. What wont do is having some smug Tesla owner talking about how his car not only goes as…

So how big was the check from Porsche? 

But what’s actually happening is automakers are taking it upon themselves to protect their reputation by perhaps holding back their equipment a little bit to ensure reliability and consistent performance, not just the biggest number they can hit.

It is amazing how many articles there are on Jalopnik that exist just to bash Tesla, but with the porsche you go out of your way to defend it.
