I’d say the Mustang is embarrassing because a decent GT is nearly Corvette money. Every truck with a lift kit that doesn’t have chunks of mud on the frame. Every single mid-size truck with a back seat smaller than a Carolla’s but still gets 17 mpg in the city and cannot do anything near what a real truck can do. Every…

I don’t know why people are confused. When they came out there were very few available for idiots and spendthrifts.  This is not the vehicles fault.  A LOT of dummies paid over sticker in recent years.  For most it was a small amount that they accepted (unless they were really big dummies) that money was being set on…

Honestly, this is just what Jalopnik does. They write kinda sketchy articles with clickbait titles about how Tesla is the reason your dog died when you were a kid. I’m honestly very suspicious of this article - if only because Tesla builds such crashworthy cars. 

Jaguar will be insolvent by 2030

As an EV driver, I think Porsche did a couple things with this car that they definitely deserve to be criticized for.  The range is absolutely dreadful.  I think it’s like 200 miles (I know Porsche rate things conservatively but YIKES!) and it can’t use Tesla chargers. So you have this beautiful car that constantly…

I want pop up lights on every Tesla, and it should have external battery cells so when I run over anyone on an adventure bike it explodes immediately. Better yet put the battery on every Cybertuck as a grille for the frunk. With spikes that are electrified so that you can both kill pedestrians and make a sort of…

That’s hilarious... though perhaps if you’re spitting out left-wing conspiracy theories a name like Robot Turds is unexpectedly appropriate. I didn’t vote for Trump, but he does have a mandate to do some big things. One hopes they won’t be wasted on putting idiots like RFK2 into positions of power. Trump is an old man…

What is “full speed” I hit a deer with a Pontiac G8 once about 100 feet from a stop sign and the car was MANGLED.  He’s got a slightly dented hood and some bumper damage.  The car also didn’t even seem to have hit a bump based on how the camera reacted.  That deer I hit, going maybe 20 mph ended up on my roof and the…

How big is the battery? How much will it cost? What’s the range? I’m guessing 130 kw/hr - 100k and under 300.  Will Jalopnik be complaining about any of this?

Ok, per usual, Tesla coverage on Jalop is a steaming turd. I have a reservation, so does a friend of mine.  Neither of us have cancelled.  It’s that the Truck we want costs $120,000 dollars!  If it were the same price as a well-equipped Ford Lightning I’d have found a way to order one.  I’d bet a lot of people are…

Why can a car in 2024 be “over-revved”? Isn’t that what a rev limiter is for? Has anyone watched a car review where the driver was routinely banging against the rev limiter? This sounds extremely suspicious to me. Cars have software to protect them from stupid drivers. But stupid drivers don’t have coverage to protect…

The items here that require a technician are actual recalls.  Things that need a patch are... patches. I don’t know how many things the cybertruck has been recalled to the shop for - but I only know of the issue with the accelerator.

Jalopnik, which has not been an example of journalism for some time now, but has an opportunity here, needs to do something new.  If something is a “recall” it means that the car has to go to a shop and have a repair.  If something is a “software patch” that means that something will download to the operating system…

What you’re actually saying is that it’s anachronistic. That it’s a car for old people who struggle to use it. If they want it to have some buzz it needs to be fast, be thrilling, be novel, be FUN. It’s slow, cramped, expensive for what it is, and noisy. It needs 250 hp and real infotainment. Modern roads mean that…

Jalopnik is a terrible website of clickbait, anti-tesla propaganda, and lazy faux-journalism. But the problem with the Miata is that Mazda won’t sell people what they want - they tell the customer what they want and try to pretend that makes their customer somehow elite. The car is noisy, cramped, underpowered, and…

The Lucid would have been the Mercedes S Class EV that really got Benz rolling.  It looks great, is very innovative, is efficient, and has great performance.  First big problem: how to charge it in America? If it can’t Supercharge it’s no good for a road trip.  2nd big problem: all the reviews I’ve read said the car…

Every time I think this website has bottomed out, from the Tesla Take of the Day, to the complete lack of reviews... now you’re taking on Audi’s golden era????  This is probably the best, most distinctive, purest homage I’ve ever seen that also connects to what the company was doing at the moment.  It’s named for an…

If Baymax were a car... does it come in white? (with red ground effects?)

Was she trying to get to where luggage was kept and steal stuff? I’m struggling to think of a reason for a “general public” to want to have anything to do with a bunch of conveyer belts. She was not described as a passenger and thinking of a way that someone could get tangled up in the machinery while picking up a…

I know Clarkson would not be fun to say, go on a vacation with, but on that show - with basically a Brexiteer, a Royalist, and a Globalist they were sort of the UK’s internal debate made into a comedy show with cars. I doubt I agree with Clarkson about much, but his takes when he makes fun of things are both keen, and…
