The anti-Tesla bias is deep. Yesterday, Jalopnik was mocking Tesla for not having a track time. Today, they are twisting Elon’s tweets in the worst way. They aren’t there to set a dumb record, the goal is to be the fastest electric car and faster than the Taycan, to show they have better quality in every aspect.…

You could have at least removed the pole from up your ass before registering your complaint.

Here is an image of the Fur-RAPTOR after an 8mph crash into a curb:

You don’t think this is tasteless? Politics aside, serious question.

No. The whole thing about a Tesla is that it should be as free from range anxiety as possible thanks to its supercharger network. People pay to access that network, you don’t, no matter how short amount of time you park there. It’s not your spot. In fact, in some states, I believe the law supports my line of reasoning.

It’s becoming a thing as more brodozers hear about it. But I would genuinely like to know what the motivation is. Nothing about it makes sense. Teslas are probably more American made than their own trucks anyway.

But how can you be assured that some day you won’t stop a Tesla from being able to charge? It’s practically the equivalent of parking in front of a gas pump and not using it.

Look up almost any charger on Plugshare - there’s usually more than one incident of ICE’d charging spots.

I don’t.

Are you one of these pickup owners? Because that’s a really silly comment to make considering it’s the ones blocking the charging stations that are clearly insecure...

Its frustrating to be sure, but towing these trucks out of the way is just going to result in violence. The kind of bro-truck, redneck mentality that leads to them ICE-ing, comes with a hearty helping of macho posturing as well. 

I just wish we could get this in the states. its big enough and lighter and cheaper

People who survived tend to have survived.

Sounds like a Boomer being a Boomer to me.

We didn’t all die, so clearly safety features don’t mean shit.

‘Of course, this is where many of you jump right to the comments and talk about how you did just fine in whatever beater, death-trap you drove as a teenager. But you got lucky, and I bet every one of you has a story about another young person who wasn’t so fortunate.’

Honestly, the safety argument isn’t that valid. Yes, a car from 2018 is much safer than one from 1996; however, it’s just not that much more safe than one from the early 2010s. A used Camry or Civic from seven or eight years ago will cost three thousand or so and be nearly as safe as a brand new whatever, and…

This is the most compelling argument for why parents shouldn’t buy the most amount of safety features they can that are currently available.
