Grew up in Nova Scotia and my dad traded cars every 4 - 5 years. Remembered a lot of rusty cars. I remember Ford trunks and hatches rusting all along the edge. Things changed in the late 80's early 90's with cars and corrosion protection. I now live in Chicagoland so less salt exposure but we have have 12 and 13 yo…

Did you literally just proclaim that hundreds of millions of dollars researching childhood cancer was not a worthy cause?

If you’re spending $5k on PPF, you’re a moron.

As someone who has been paid to overplay a few of his songs (unto PTSD -  please, never again), I will always give him props for being a most excellent human.

Tax Shelter.

Tesla is an idea company, in that it profits from the idea that people think it is a company.

How about “cult”?

I initially had a longer reply to you but after reading through your various other comments and how you think a prius is the greatest car ever I now realize it’s not worth it and why I never comment on articles/what Jalopnik has become.

Go back and re-read what he said. He has three vehicles plus a camper.

Dear Jalop - more homepage photos of beautiful Rivians. Fewer homepage photos of Elon’s melting face.
