This is what I want to do to my DSM Eclipse. Minus the whole “taking up all the space” part. Hopefully the batteries will be much smaller and cheaper by the time I’m ready for that little project.

If being intolerable were a crime, this guy would deserve life in prison without parole.

True, people have limited forebearance the further down the income scale you go and what were minor inconveniences to the rich become nightmares for the working class. Hopefully the Model 3's design—by all accounts incredibly simplified and utilizing more steel instead of fussy, expensively repaired aluminum—will help…

I think you were going for “death knell.”

The Model 3 has a colossal error margin, though. The demand is enormous. It could lose 75% of the preorders and hardly bat an eye. Plus Tesla fans have stratospheric consumer satisfaction scores, and it would take a lot more than a few squeaks and rattles to lose their loyalty. The Model 3 would literally have to be…

That may be the best-looking SUV I’ve seen this side of the new Mitsubishi Outlander.

If you actually want to buy this thing, then at this point, you should just admit what everyone already knows, including you deep down:

This somehow reminds me of people who gold-plate their Bugatti.

Some poor, struggling auto body repair shop owner in Colorado is currently on his knees, weeping in his praise for the almighty Zeus.

If you don’t like the gearbox, go for the plug-in Hybrid. It’s actually got nearly the all-electric range of a Gen 1 Volt and at a similar price point to boot, which is just staggering considering it’s a leather-bound cruise liner and not a little compact hatch.

Fantastic. Now we’re going to have Mothra on the loose.

Precisely. Even GM is falling down on this. They made the $37,500 Bolt a subcompact, set to compete with $15,000 Honda Fits, Ford Fiestas and Kia Souls. Tesla, for all their unforced errors, is at least making their $35,000 Model 3 to compete with… $35,000 BMWs and Audis.

Many roosters died supplying the skin for this vehicle.

I regret that I have but one star to give. Have a follower instead.

Go ahead and reach for that doughnut, you’re in no danger of that ever happening.

But unlike the Chrysler, the Ford warranty covers only quote-unquote “major” powertrain components. That’s a loophole you could drive a truck through.

Ugh. They ought to give up and spare themselves the embarrassment. Their resources should go to someone more deserving, like Lucid. The Balkanization of startup electric car companies and next-gen battery chemistries threatens the survival of the Revolution.

Diverse!

It’s probably a ghost car that kills its occupants, or an alien under a hologram. Or worse, it could be a real Tempo.
