He left out that the Wrangler 4xe starts at over $60,000.

How on earth did this guy think Tesla was just going to say “damn, check bounced, oh well, our loss. Hope he enjoys his free tesla”

We found them, the one person on the planet who doesn’t like chick fila!

“No honey I promise, that’s just my old pear shape boiling flask you found in the closer, they just used to make them out of rubber back when I was into chemistry”

According to Tesla representatives that Bacigalupo spoke with, the car’s battery had become “effectively submerged” after Scotland was hit with severe rain last weekend

It’s “just” missing the two most prominent ingredients by volume? Kind of like saying a PB&J is remarkably similar to two slices of white bread because other than two ingredients they’re the same. 

100% this. It’s always “oh you want heated seats? Well I know other manufacturers let you add that for $500-1000, but here at ford that’s available exclusively as part of the $9,000 luxury and technology package :)“

Absent from this article is any of the necessary infrastructure cost to support this option. Installing just one charger able to get a 900KW truck to 80% in 45 minutes is far from cheap. Installing multiple to support a full Pepsi fleet probably starts to bump into constraints of how much juice is available on the…

Seems like a smart business person would have used this situation to make even more money by introducing a 1/5 lb burger to “one-up” mcdonalds

Online orders are a double edged sword, super convenient if you use them, but really bones the people who try to order on the spot.

Seems like whatever graphic designer made the lead image of this article never talked to an engineer based on the orientation of those solar panels in relation to the sun...

Ah yes, if Ford can cover the cost for 30 people to go test product in Africa in support of a super popular and profitable product, that’s an obvious indication they can also afford to give 57,000 employees whatever their heart desires 

I mean to be fair, defined benefit pensions are basically extinct in the US outside of government institutions. So it’s not like the OEM’s are putting the screws to the UAW and withholding something that’s a common benefit at other companies.

I mean to be fair, those new model issues tend to be things that are a non-issue if you’re buying this to drive 7 miles per year and keep it stored in the 4th garage stall of your 3rd vacation home for a few decades before you try to take it to barrett jackson and let some other rich idiot also over pay for a low vin.

Can you imagine if instead of trying to re-invent the wheel with their ridiculous cyber truck, if Tesla just made a more “normal” truck like the Rivian how many they could have sold by now?

I’m kind of surprised this type of yacht wouldn’t have any ability to tap into shore power so it doesn’t have to keep its generators idling 24/7 from the day it’s built...

So they took a perfectly good TRX, and took away the 4wd so it’s value off road is diminished, it’s traction on-road is also ruined and then took away the passenger seats so it’s utility is also diminished? So spent a ton of money to make this thing objectively worse for the sake of subjectively looking neat? 

+1, it’s like hey we have some money we want to give out. How about let’s give it to people who live in one of the most affluent areas of the county?  Oh and better yet, let’s only give that money to the people who are so affluent that despite being in an area with super high cost of living, they can still afford…

I mean, presumably the contract with the parking company has some sort of terminology that makes denying access to the property a violation of the contract

I’m assuming the “upper 40's” price tag doesn’t get you the 400 mile range option
