First: Tesla is not a luxury brand. Convince me I’m wrong. The model S can pass for luxury, but not the 3/Y where the bulk of sales sit. Sure they offer huge amounts of technology, but that’s not “luxury”, unless we’re collectively agree to redefine luxury as high tech 

What a dick response by Farah. Ya, those people with surfboards on the roofs are patrons of the businesses there. All businesses have No Loitering law signs posted, don't clog up someone's private property and feel entitled to it.

Okay Grandpa Elon, let’s get you to bed.

Not sure how a brass piece is going to warp. This is likely stronger than the plastic piece ever was. The only downside I can see is that the plastic housing it went into will likely break before it does, so the potential for the next repair to be much more difficult is higher.

How is this janky? This fix is less likely to break than the original design.

Just waiting on the Elon fellatioers to try to justify why this car is designed in such a shit-crap way.

You can absolutely divulge that Munro had purchased and sold Tesla stock this year without giving a jackass like Niedermayer any credence.

But getting wined, dined, and put up in nice hotels is perfectly acceptable? Those all have monetary value and are direct gifts. But owning stock is too much? What about owning index funds?

I really appreciate your writing, but giving a crackpot former blogger from TTAC (of all places) the title of “Automotive Journalist” is a little much.

It’s an 80's Hollywood take on what a 2020 truck would look like.

Frankly, I’m surprised a unibody vehicle with a cut and welded C-pillar would even be allowed to be back on the road, let alone sold as a vehicle with minor imperfections.

Aside from assuming facts not in evidence— the author may not even be in school debt, or even if she is, her chosen career may be perfectly capable to rendering those debt (and retirement investment) concerns moot— the fact is, life is a terminal condition, and it is absolutely not worth living unless you take the…

I didn’t write that headline. "Fascinating" is what I went with.

This is where I’m at as an autistic person. I completely get the argument with race-washing, and casting cis people in trans roles, but with autism I just don’t understand it. As long as it’s sensitive towards the people it’s portraying, and those people are consulted rather than just being a caricature, I have no…

Okay, so this is massively stupid. An actor’s job is, quite by definition, to portray someone/thing they’re not. Should Dustin Hoffman not have been cast in Rain Man? Was Daniel Day-Lewis the wrong choice for My Left Foot because he doesn’t actually have CP? I don’t think these films are any less effective or…

Normal manufacturers do not make cars that are intended just fall apart after ten years. They get superseded by the next great thing, sure. But they don’t have important components that are designed to fail in that time frame, aside from consumables—which the MCU is not. As I said, the average age of a registered car…

So, Tesla intends their cars to fail after 10-12 years. Good to know if you’re thinking of buying one used. The youngest car in my personal fleet is 17 years old and all my machines work perfectly fine, so a 10-12 year intended service life seems remarkably shitty.

The Blazer actually seems like a perfectly serviceable crossover that is hindered around here by being called the “Blazer.”
