1st Gear:. Boy you really have a hate on for Musk - “regret”. I don’t care for the man on a personality level but give him credit when due. By the way, that idea is not original to him. It’s the way Henry Ford ran Ford for years until “experts” decided that they had a better way.

Great article and this pretty well lines up with how I perceived Jalopnik looks at Tesla crashes. I’m a new Tesla owner (waiting on delivery of a model 3) and I genuinely do not look forward to being lumped in the same category as Tesla stans. Seriously made me consider not buying it. They are damn good cars (fit and…

For the wreck that happened on April 18, the fact that nobody was in the driver’s seat strongly suggests that the Tesla involved was operating in one of Tesla’s semi-autonomous modes.

Clicks. You write about it because people will read about it.

I actually know some things about this type of thing.

Watching people hate its looks is going to be one of the most fun things about it.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Porsche, but having the "turbo" designation on an electric car is just flat out false advertising and stupid, to boot. Turbo is not a trim level...it says the car involved has a turbo... Why not call it the taycan flat six? Or taycan turbine engine car..yes, you called a bunch of your finest cars…

Great David vs Goliath story, except it isn’t clear which is which. Tesla now sells more cars than Porsche. Porsche has been around a long time and makes vast amounts of money selling cars. Tesla, not so much. But Tesla is the Goliath of EV production while Porsche is the startup.

I am as far from a Tesla apologist as you will find. As a car enthusiast, I enjoy keeping up to date with the latest trends and subscribe to a few automobile publications. Through the years, I have come across a few articles written Edward Niedermeyer and have all had a very negative slant toward electric cars,…

If this guy ran a column about a Tesla death watch why would I think he would write the book in a fair manner.

Edward Niedermeyer Is the quack that has made a career about attacking Tesla Motors and anything Tesla. I remember his hit piece about Electrek connection with Tesla (see link below). I am surprised that Jalopnik would promote this quacks book.

Yes but this is counterbalanced by the fact that you leave your house every morning with a full “tank”. 

“To anyone who ever believed Elon Musk’s bullshit: you’ve been had.”

did you make a Kinja account just to “well ACTUALLY” the Union of Concerned Scientists?

Recycling of EV batteries is still in its infancy, but it is being worked on.

Oh come on, really?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but please explain why you despise Elon?  

I can guarantee you there’s loads of examples of people that lived how they wanted, eating whatever they wanted, and dying early. There’s probably also loads of examples of people trying to be healthy who end up living long lives. And there’s probably examples of loads of people trying to be healthy but dying early…

Fucking scumbags need to rot in jail. The entire criminal administration and their storm troopers.
