Hmm, username checks out...

If you’re going to title this list “things you might have missed,” half the items shouldn’t be things they literally talked about for over a minute in the Direct. Not trying to be grumpy but it makes the article seem like clickbait

List, because these things shouldn’t be slideshows.

No word if the owner was secretly overjoyed at the prospect of no longer having to drive a Mitsubishi?

They were stealing Mitsubishis. I don’t think driving a piece of shit is helping.

No thanks, rubber on controllers always end up sticky, dirty and melty. It’s a pain to clean and care for compared to the normal plastic. Never had a problem with sweat making the controller glide or slip... Are you people not holding your controllers? Just letting them rest on your palm or something? Weirdness...

You took a DC-DC converter course?! Where?!

it has a new rubberized panel to help you keep hold of it even when your hands start to sweat.

The world needs more engineers that can actually write and explain things.

My DC-DC convertor class I took as an undergrad (which was actually a Masters level course) for my electric engineering degree was really, really cool. It was one of the courses I enjoyed the most. Taught by an adjunct who actually designed them in industry, including for high power applications.

This is proper Jalopnik - I feel smarter, not angrier. Mission accomplished.

At this point Chrysler only builds in Canada.

Back in 2006ish I was working as a supplier visiting a Ford assembly plant in Detroit, and they would go around and place a big 12"x14" sticker on the drivers window of any non-Ford vehicles in the lot.

Doesn’t GM have plants in Mexico? If you drive a car made at those plants, does it have to go in the Foreign lot?

When I worked for GM in the early 00s, many of the management were some of the most pig-headed people in the world. Perhaps being located, and in many cases raised and schooled in the midwest blinded them to coming trends in the industry. This was the start of the SUV boom, spear headed by the Lexus RX. According to…

you know what else isn’t an american made car? all the fords and gms and chryslers built in Mexico and Canada.

Right after Model S was announced, I was trying to talk my parents into the idea of buying one. After discussing the mileage etc... they said “What’s the name?”
“Tesla.”
“Oh, we don’t want to buy a foreign car.”

Funny story. Years ago I owned a Saab 92X - a rebadged WRX. I sold it to a GM employee and he was excited to get better parking since at the time GM owned a majority of Saab.  So, a Japanese made car badged as Swedish qualified as a GM.  :-)

American, yes. UAW-made, no. That’s probably the offense in the eyes of the car lot brown shirts.
