“Lemme guess, all the pickup trucks on the road were also a trigger.”

I don’t know how many times i’ve driven east to west and west to east. FL to CA, FL to RI, RI to AL, AL to WA. A little IN, KY, TN, MI thrown in too. I was anywhere between 20 and 22.

Nebraska is the least judgmental place I’ve ever been. 

Stops at every small town gas station, gives everyone the stink eye

Tldr; Judgemental guy drives through judgmental places but with differing views. Gets sad. 

Absolutely, they are going to learn far more from this test determining what went wrong then during a successful test (Granted you love it if you just happened to get EVERYTHING *right* the first time, it just rarely works that way). Better to learn it when you can impact the design

Yeah and this is to say nothing of the fact that Tesla has been missing (admittedly ambitious) production goals for YEARS. Musk’s response, like clockwork, is to blame manufacturing snafus.

ive programmed my own keys. new transponder was $9 on ebay and my hardware store cut my key for free. needed my second working key but it was just cycle the ignition a couple times listen for car horn and locks to cycle and i was done

We’re talking about someone who paid a dealer $750 for $40 worth of belts and fluids, after all.

And yet you clicked on the article and interacted with it. Expect another one on topping up the wiper fluid.

100% correct.  You said it in a nicer way, but Bradley ignores the fact that even top-of-the-line CFD in use at Boeing and Airbus, besides costing unknown billions, is regularly checked against NASA’s common research model (or others). In spite of the fact they are using insanely expensive setups and in spite of the…

<An F1 car was literally built without a wind tunnel a decade ago.>

Same thing in the automotive field. We test a bunch of designs with CFD, narrow the field, and then confirm if those results are real in the wind tunnel.

Listen, we can talk about how bad TX drivers are; but let’s keep from the hyperbole. There is no way they can be the worst in the world when a nation called India exits.

Got my years wrong. A 2.0T did win in 2018 and they were deep in the trophies last year.

I buy a lot of plastic at work. Had manufacturer A that deferred a lot of maintenance on the extruding machines. Worn out dies, metal fragments from internal wear, motors that were failing causing thickness variations. Cost them 500K per year from me as I switched to Manufacturer B. Manufacturer A realized the problem…

Because the good plastic costs 6¢ more. I suspect the engineers specced it, a beancounter balked, they argued back and forth, and some manager looking to get a bonus by beating a budget requirement went with the beancounter because the engineer couldn’t prove that the cheap plastic would increase warranty claims by…

Welcome to Jalopnik where they don't let facts get in the way of their opinions. If it weren't for the comments noone would be here.

Yeah, and the PHEV doesn’t come with three rows. The article is very poorly done.

I have lived with my Bolt for 6 1/2 months. I’m past the point of worrying how it looks, as I’m more concerned with how it drives. I leased it for 36 months, $0 down, 1st payment DAS and the lease is $250/month, plus they paid the last 2 lease payments on my Jetta GLI. It is dependable, will beat almost anything to…
