The headline says “is,” not “could potentially someday be.”

Agreed.  I think it looks much better than the Taycan.

The E-Tron GT will start at 99,800 euros ($120,343) in Germany, while the RS E-Tron will start at 132,800 ($160,135) euros. For reference, the base rear-wheel-drive Taycan begins at 83,500 euros ($100,613) in Germany, though the Taycan 4S, which is a better counterpart to the E-Tron GT in terms of performance, begins

Dare I say I prefer the looks of the Audi over the Porsche? This is the most German looking car I have seen in a long time. The whole thing looks like it was carved from a single block of aluminum.

You don’t live near Seattle huh? French revolution symbolism every where. Both sides of the isle. 

Lol wut. Looney left...He sicced the SEC on Robinhood investors and defended wall street in less than 24 hours. GTFOH. What could possibly make you think that?

Hold on a minute...you’re talking about a few THOUSAND complete idiots as one “side” in our two-party system??? Trump got 74,200,000 votes. Also, keep in mind that everyone voted BEFORE the capitol riot. VERY FEW Republicans support what happened in D.C., Qanon, or any of that stupid shit.

TLDR: Author is a young adult who doesn’t understand how taxes and income is calculated.

This is what taxi drivers (including myself, on Jalopnik even) said when Uber and Lift came and destroyed our industry. Why are taxis more expensive that either of those two “not transportation companies”? Because cab drivers for our company ACTUALLY made $25/hour. Because we were driver owned and so the driver’s

the IRS rate has nothing to do with how much money you actually made. it has to do with how much of your income you can deduct from your taxes as an expense.

the takeaway here, is that while you are a fucking idiot for driving for a rideshare company effectively full time for a net income of ~$18k a year, you are also

It sounds to me that you’re not profitable in the same way that Uber isn’t profitable. Which is funny because Uber seems to be making a lot of money; at least enough to pay people’s bills. You’re also making about 50% more than I did working 40-hours a week at my local UPS Store and about $1000 more than the national

What the author, and by extension the bloggers and publishers of this site, don’t understand is that we are not idiots and live in the real world. This is just about the last straw for me for Jalopnik. TheDrive has better content. Jalopnik steals half it’s good blogs from them anyway. I’ll miss the comments over here

Man, that first screenshot is just pretty damning in my eyes as to how Uber and Lyft can not argue that drivers are not employees. They’re explicitly making you agree to a non-transparent, binding payment structure. You can’t see what adjustments they make, and those adjustments are considered final!

I don’t understand. How can $30k income turn into a $250 loss?

Also, despite what the internet fanboys will tell you, every car on the market has its little nasty quirks, the Sonic included.”

Yeah, this not an accurate assessment. What you’re really saying is:

You didn’t miss out on anything.  It was just a fucking advertisement.  They changed a few paint colors, a few interior colors, and made CarPlay standard.  Why did we need a whole slideshow for that?  Why did we need anything, that’s some pretty vanilla “new model year” stuff.

TL;DR

Man, fuck these slideshows. I was almost about to read this. One would think G/O would get the hint after a while. I’m not minimizing my whole set-up when I can just go to C&D or the Mazda website.

You don’t need a financial planner. Just autopiloting your 401(k) into a US index fund is light-years better than what it seems like Erik’s doing now.
