I thought he was going to the lulz and the clicks, more so than being convinced there is no solution.

That’s pretty much ALL of Jalopnik, right? :D

Ha too true. I read this as more of an off-the-cuff rant though and less an example of hard-hitting journalism.

Okay, now that I’ve seen the video.... based on what he is saying, he seems to be basing his assessment on his impression of the car rather than any objective measurements. And I understand what he’s saying, that Tesla doesn’t want him to reveal too much, but without numbers to back it up I still have to be a little…

Sadly, it seems the ratio of price to power is directly connected to the douchebag level of the owner. That’s why Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers attract the worst crowd at car shows - it’s the most horsepower for the dollar. Same deal with Tesla - while they’re pricey, they’re still half the cost of anything else…

Oh, okay. I'm not really up on whatever cool new awareness blocs of time the kids are into these days. I just try to be a good person that respects everyone's humanity and struggles daily. 

??? Yeah, I’m signing up for Nintendo’s online on Day One, and I’m looking forward to it. You get a D- for your attempt to rationalize breaking & entering, and stealing. 

right, your kind only wants to steal games, and show porn to children across the world, thanks for reminding us mister pirate.

I just assumed anyone who did this understood the risk that they may get banned by any video game console manufacturer if they messed with the internal software or hardware. I had a modded 360 back in the day and the ban hammer came down one day as I knew it would. It’s why, if given the opportunity, I wouldn’t mod…

You took that literally? What kind of robots are you?

You must be great fun in comedy clubs.

How many times in one thread can you not take a joke? 

The OP’s comment was clearly a joke.  Second, if this is “the most unbiased article” you’ve seen in 6 months why are you so cranky?  Maybe go for a nice quiet drive in your Tesla with the windows down and enjoy life.  Stay off the internet for a bit, maybe.

Welcome to Cars 101 where we make fun of other brands and even the ones we like GM,Ford,Chrysler,Hyundai,Nissan,Mazda,Fisker,Lamborghini,Ferrari, and 11tybilion other brands.

I’m not funny but plenty of people say I’m a joke.

No its not. Give most of the people that comment here 12 billion dollars and a factory for basically nothing and we all could do as well or better. This is a car company that cant make money selling cars and never will.

I like Tesla a lot, and I still thought that was funny! (And not even slightly rabid)

It was a joke, jokes are not “rabid anti-Tesla rants”.

I will offer again that Musk has clearly lost it. Really. What kind of “sane, mature CEO” lets himself get manipulated into a He-Said, She-Said back-and-forth with a departing employee?

Elon is losing his mind.
