As someone who has done similar work to a slightly newer Mustang, “racecar for the road” here is an absolute joke. He’s probably making like 450 at the wheels max. All the other drivetrain work is basically just quality of life improvements for the MT-82. Putting a 3.93 in just makes 1st gear unusable, and the new 2nd…

For somewhat more than the $20k — ok, about $10k more, but negotiable — you could buy a 2012 Mustang that left the factory as a Boss 302 with the factory correct Recaros and a fraction of the mileage this one has. So ND.

Okay, everybody say it with me now:

But does he know what he’s got?

Over 90 percent of all Ferraris ever produced are apparently still on the road  sitting in climate controlled garages. 

To steal a phrase, it’s for the same reason a Soviet RBMK reactor used graphite tips on its control rods - it’s cheaper.

In extremely tiny fairness to Tesla, they do say the proper thing to do is to not swerve when faced with a deer at speed and just nail the sucker. Horrible, I know, but the authorities always say that it’s usually less dangerous to hit the deer than to suddenly swerve into another lane and possibly hit a car. (Of…

“He purchased a Volvo C40 Recharge EV but wanted to get rid of it after only a few months of ownership due to technical problems; the infotainment screen and backup camera would randomly cut out and the car would make a loud screeching noise when reversing.”

The car did alert after hitting the deer, it just alerted RFK, Jr. to come pick up the carcass and dispose of it in Central Park. That’s the new protocol. 

A-Class, dream car? That person needs to dream bigger. He is in Texas after all.

DONT TAZE ME BRO!

Why would you give Musk an interest free loan on a vehicle you weren’t really going to buy?

the numbers become more plausible if buyers believed that they could get one for $40k, which is less than the current average new car price. but at 2 1/2 times that, most people obviously ran for the hills

it’s wholly possible that they had 1-2 million reservations, and people started cancelling them as soon as they saw what a donkey of a car it is. then musk turning into a raging nazi took care of whatever other reservations were left and not delivered on.

“I like that Dark Brandon idea, I’m gonna steal it.”

Musk campaigning for Trump with his “Dark Maga” hat and theme seems even scarier than just Trump being elected. I suspect when they say “Dark Maga”, they truly have some nasty ideas waiting to implement. 

My current ape like perception of the EV market right now: I don’t want any car that can’t use the Tesla Supercharger network. I don’t want any car built by Tesla due to their build quality, UI decisions, and customer support reputation.

The only company really slumping in EV sales is Tesla. It is single-handed dragging down national sales. 

Oh we're concerned about unsustainable incentives? I have some exciting news about your free parking and free roads then!

Remember that time on Jalopnik a few weeks ago when EV’s were doomed and auto makers were better off cancelling all of their EV programs?
