I wanted a Performance Model 3, but for $78k I’d rather get a decently performing anything else.

Visit 1 - A good lesson for your children that they can’t get what they want all of the time, and to learn to deal with disappointment.

The problem is disproportionate coverage that creates the incorrect impression that semi-autonomous vehicles—and in particular Teslas—are inherently dangerous in and of themselves.

More importantly, since when does Jalopnik report on every goddamn car accident?

I totally agree...but maybe its impact will be the same exact thing.

I know, $600/mo sounds like a good price on a Volvo suv - they’re preying on people’s ignorance. It’s not cheap at all. It’s $200/mo over the lease price. Are you spending anywhere near $2,400 a year on insurance and maintenence on a brand new car?

If all three cars were autonomous would there still have been an accident?

Again, with the rich-people toys. Where are so many people making so much money to have this much disposable income? Are there really that many people with that much independent wealth that can just casually buy a volvo-but-not-a-volvo coupe that costs more than my 2400 square foot 2-story house?

Because consumers breathe air?

No one can say that new CAFE regulations have not been a net-positive for the world. It has spurred innovation and efficiency in a way that a free market would not have.

Isn’t that the joke? I thought that was the joke.

But this is not a Tesla so it is not newsworthy, dontchya know that?

uh - The agncy prosecuting this case was created by the prior administration.This agency has returned millions to defrauded consumers and the current gang of thugs is trying mightily to close it down. Live and learn I always say.

Why aren’t the masks face shaped? I figure all the oxygen is getting out the sides anyway — don’t you want as much in your face as possible? Shouldn’t they be roughly curved, at least like a doctor’s mask, if not more like a scuba mask only for your mouth and nose instead of eyes and nose?

“well boys, a few blogs wrote negative articles about us based on anecdotes and zero evidence, guess we better go ahead and give up andclose up shop at this point”

Please cut this racist nonsense out. Statistically speaking Asian-American drivers are safer drivers than drivers of other ethnicities, and their insurance rates back it up. I saw an elderly lady drive the wrong way down a one way street in town the other day with two wheels on the median and the other two in the…

Wow, so much racism here. As a Caucasian male, I can say that white people do a lot of shitty driving too. I frequently see people of ALL races and ages moving from the farthest lane on the left to the farthest lane on the right, cutting off a few cars and almost hitting a median to boot, to get where they are trying…

There’s additional focus on Tesla. Not because of autopilot, but because Teslas don’t use fuel, dealer networks, or need the kind of service or parts that conventional cars use. Don’t think for a minute that the Tesla deathwatch articles are anything other than wishful thinking by certain industries. The most…

wait until you visit San Francisco 

If they’d gone the way of Tesla, maybe they’d get a decent range out of that giant battery. They get just over 1% increase in range (237 miles vs 240) over the base Model X with a 20% increase in the battery size (75kWh vs 90kWh). Also, Jag’s range estimate is a manufacturer estimate, whereas Tesla’s is the EPA…
