ok so I can hit 60 in 2nd, but Im also on the FA20, and my redline is like 6600rpm. So unless subaru tweaked the gear ratios around, im not sure a 2025 with the 2.4L can.

itll hit 60 in 2nd.... probably, ill uh test it when I get off work as its still the same transmission in my 2018.

I suspect that the “robotaxi” we saw was really just a reworking of the Model 2 prototype that Tesla cancelled a few months ago; which means that at some point it had a steering wheel and pedals. 

I’m glad it seems like investors aren’t falling for the snake oil as much anymore, hopefully that sticks and people with money are finally starting to see what most of us plebes have seen for a while - Musk is a rich guy charlatan.

Everything about this makes no sense. That is a terrible form for a taxi - two seater.

The Cybercab looks like they took the Model 3 and the VW XL1 and put them in a blender. It doesn’t look half bad, but it’s a terrible choice for a taxi. “Sexy little hypermiler coupe” would make for a great entry-level Tesla, which is what I bet this was. The delay in presentation was because they had to rip the…

Nothing here is substantial enough to say anything more than “well, how about that” in the tone of your grandma. Those visuals are nothing but visuals. No vehicle will be remotely like what was shown.

Is it just me, or does everything look like movie props???

So the design was made by telling Adobe’s AI to make a car that looks like a mashup of a Model 3 and a Cybertruck?  Cool.  Cool cool cool.

“says that unsupervised FSD will come to current Tesla owners in California next year”

First Gear: Anyone who watched last night’s Tesla event and is an investor should be concerned. From the delayed event kickoff to the poor production values, to the ridiculous claims, it all screams low-rent high-grift. I cannot fathom for me how investors can take him seriously with all his bloviating and “corporate…

You’re seriously asking why the Cadillac CTS-V Blackwing is a good car? On Jalopnik dot com? 

It studied Cartesian Doubt and finally decided it existed only to explode, good bomb 

There’s a big difference between taking the engine up to the rev limiter, and actual over-revving which can only really be caused by downshifting.

It says he took it to a drag strip. How to you overrev a modern engine while accelerating?

the engine had been red-lined multiple times

So he does or doesn’t want kids to have to be in car seats? I’m confused. Also, I hardly think that a car seat is even in the top 10 cost items people really think about when it comes to having kids.

To be fair to... everyone, The CEO of Tesla is the one who added the unnecessary political baggage to Tesla. And while tesla was a cutting edge car 10 years ago, now it’s just another EV, one saddled with a lot of ugly baggage that can be avoided if one just buys something else.

I would imagine most CEO’s of car companies are terrible people as well-however they don’t own one of the largest online communication companies or blab about offensive social commentary on everything.

How many limbs are we talking about?
