Because they recall parts when they know they are a failure and actually fix it? Unlike US brands who make you jump through hoops to get anything addressed. I’ve been waiting for almost two years for Ford to address my airbag, every once in a while, I’ll get another letter in the mail that amounts to, “not yet, but…

Because it placed second? /s

Did you guys forget the old one deployed in the same manner? lol

Yes, but most factory production cars only lose 100-150lbs from tossing their seats, carpet, unimportant dash parts, etc. and et. al.

I have to admit I LOLed at that tiny little fire extinguisher there that would do nothing if that battery pack caught fire for some reason. A least with a normal car, it would probably put the fire out.

Saw the car be delivered to the mountain and prepped. They had the entire undercarriage stuffed with bags of ice the entire morning. The had probably a pallet’s worth of ice.

Not even close to being production, you take my Tesla and send it up the mountain, it will overheat in less than 5 minutes. Clearly modifications were extensive. I think pikes peak should revise production rules. ie... unaltered drivetrain, same curb weight or higher as production vehicle with ballast as necessary,…

This is a gross misuse of the term hipster.

55k? That’s not bad.

Same here. I see one of those weird giant Honda Element looking things that some startup tried to make happen only to fail and be discontinued a while back on a regular basis and honestly thought the first X I saw was one of them. Horrible looking vehicle.

I find the stalwart Tesla defenders amusing

See, if it’s still in beta mode, should they have sold it? Kind of proves his point.

I can’t say anything about reliability- but I finally saw one of these driving on the interstate yesterday, and man was that thing UGLY. Some sort of mix between a very bland suv/crossover and a concept car from the 80's or 90's that didn’t age well. Made me realize that there truly are people out there who nerd out…

“Having a company accept the return of an entire vehicle is rare”

Probably not, but it’s a good idea to do so when your vehicle is being confiscated by crooked cops for absolutely no reason. Props to the owner for thinking to do so.

Hi I’m Jay Leno, and this is what a sock in the dryer looks like.

The surprising thing is that there’s usually a bunch of wise words hidden beneath all the shit he says.

How does the world operate without EU integration.....JUST FINE. I wonder how the USA would like unlimited amounts of immigrants, no border control, and the free movement of people from the Americas How about laws made in Mexico, or having to just send money overseas for no reason? HOW do the USA/China/Japan the…

Also how do I get un-grey? It’s been months with lots of likes on comments and nothing. Am I missing something?
