You discount the appeal of Elon Musk’s musk to the faithful.

I’m guessing the “Model 3" in the following is a typo and should be “Model S”:

Absurd statistical comparison as you point out, but along with the typos and poor grammar, a typical Jalopnik attempt at dissing Tesla.

I completely agree. Owen is just trying to troll the Musk fanboys. 

Tesla only started selling the Model S in mid-June and hasn’t produced any Xs this year. This is a weird comparison. The Taycan outselling the 911 is a more interesting statistic to me.

Does it strike anyone as odd that the math around Model S/X goes back to January even though they weren’t producing them at all for a few months when they retooled for plaid?

“After being disregarded by its maker…” I can’t believe tesla quit making these. Very shocking news, I guess Porsche won with their much better and cheaper taycan, so Tesla gave up. 

Judging by the number of trucks modified to the point where they are no longer very useful for “truck things” (Slammed to the ground, lifted 2ft with 30 inch rims and 30 profile street tires, lifted 1ft in front and slammed in the back, etc.) that I see on a daily basis, I think there is a fair sized market for…

That, good sir, is what they call “disruption”.

“You disagree with him, he disagrees with you.” Except that he supports the absence of civil rights for people that offend him by simply existing.

It’s not “sterilization” to say he’s an asshole with a bad, shitty take whose bad, shitty take normalizes a group’s bad, shitty take. He makes excellent points about racial tension. He has funny observational material. What he has spent FAR too much time and effort on is this continued hateful bullshit that is not…

“My “favorites” though are the men 45-50 and over who say they want kids.”

As a 42 year-old man who has not yet had children due to various health issues with my partner and instability in my own life, this one hurt. There are people who *still* want to have children later in life, but were unable to do so when they…

This honestly sounds like the fever dream of the MRA world, and I’d be curious to know what percentage of the activity actually IS those guys LARP-ing as the kind of evil shrew bitch they imagine they’re “up against”.

Remember remember the First of November. 

Woo hoo!  November first!

That’s cool and all that the quality is better than a Tesla, however, lemme get this straight. For $80k (minimum) you get a big/heavy ass car with poor storage design choices, underwhelming range, terrible ergo design, pretty slow charging, an unserviceable “engine” bay, a bunch of unnecessary potential failure points…

No Torch, it’s truly and irredeemably ugly. There is no angle from which it’s not an absolute mess.

The Electric BMW iX Isn’t Actually That Ugly

We got ourselves a BMW Stan over here. Its fucking ugly and everyone knows it. The exterior sucks and that interior looks cramped as hell for what little it has going on there. Maybe its the angle but I feel claustrophobic just looking at it. I know fake leather is in for EVs these days as well but maybe BMW can pick…

When “isn’t that ugly” is headline worthy praise it’s not going on my list of candidates for a next vehicle.
