Yeesus, Bradley. This article is bad, your take is bad & short sighted, and your responses to the comments seem to be the equivalent of “I know you are but what am I,” second grade playground chat. Gosh, coming to Jalopnik is like opening the fridge 100 times when you are hungry hoping that something delicious…

Someone hasn’t spent many hours driving on interstates in the great plains or downstate Illinois....

So, penalize people that can’t afford new cars even more? We have an ‘07 and ‘13 and neither of us drive crazy or have any real infractions, so why should I pay more for insurance just because some cars are speed capped and ours aren’t?

Do you have any data for that?

Except they should be able to do it NOW. I laid it out in another post, it is a preset specific path point a to point b, that is something you can hard code, it never changes and there is ZERO chance of any kind of environment factors or an obstacle popping up, if there was it would be super easy to program a full…

Not quite.

Infiniti is such a sad, sad brand. When the G35 debuted, it was a great car and legit sports sedan competitor to the class-leading 3-series and it improved its luxury chops after the 2007 refresh. I came close to purchasing a 2005 sport and a 2009 6MT later on and always enjoyed the idea of a competent, 6-cylinder…

Yes, I know: Bandaids and duct tape throughout the “development” and production of that POS.

In the history of descriptions no single person has ever described the RAM drivers of central PA more accurately

Eh, I’ve seen enough content of people immediately putting wheel/tire packages on the CT to say otherwise. I bet before long plenty of factory fresh CTs will fall victim to same choices endorsed by the bro-truck crowd.

this is just a issue of when a “offroad/work” vehicle becomes a mom carrier that does no real work and needs efficiency on the normal roads.

Wow, that was a spectacularly bad take. Maybe re-read the article?

17 was the number of injuries on the JAL plane, where no one died. There were 5 deaths and one survivor (the captain) in the Dash-8 Coast Guard plane.

Ooh ooh how about a slow ramp with less than a dozen deliveries at a time AND all of the defects PLUS terrible design decisions! What a dream!

This is a guy who spent $45bn buying Twitter because he was mad people on there were saying mean things about him, after all. 

I’m convinced the Cybertruck is what it is at this point because everyone sort of laughed at the initial concept, and Musk is so fragile that he decided to force it into existence in it’s near-original form rather than refining it into something that made sense.

Disclaimer : I despise Elon Musk but not Tesla as a company that manufactures good EV’s.

...a man that would absolutely intellectually crush them on just about any topic...

You seem to be conflating financial success with intelligence, while reducing any criticism to cowardice and incompetence. Why are you doing this? 

To put this into perspective, a regular piece of printer paper is about 90 microns thick, so Elon expects a whole damn car to be accurate to within roughly 1/10 the thickness of a piece of paper. That’s not possible on a consumer vehicle. Hell, even that recent $30,000,000 Rolls Royce wouldn’t have tolerances that…
