Going by how the front-left wheel is basically toughing the front-right wheel, it’s possible that the driver door especially was just mangled beyond the ability to open regardless of the type of door handle.

Trump is going to screw over *everybody* but himself and his billionaire buddies.

Imagine you’re a Chinese manufacturer that really wants to expand their footprint in central and south america, when suddenly a bunch of gently used automobile manufacturing plants in Mexico go up for sale. Oh happy day!

I’m not sure if Trump can execute tariffs on Mexico. It would violate the USMCA (which replaced NAFTA and was negotiated by Trump-he called it his “best deal”). If he wants to withdraw from the USMCA it would require congressional approval.

I still don’t understand how MAGAs think tariffs are a good thing.

The article is conflating bandwidth with transmission time (which is essentially lag), and these are not the same thing at all.

petabyte(bit)/second hasn’t anything to do with the transmission propagation rate, it has to do with the transmission bandwidth. Transmission delay has to do with the transmission propagation rate; as you noted, latency.

While the valuation seems insane, Tesla is, in fact, the only U.S. manufacturer that stands a chance against the onslaught of cheap Chinese EV’s. In fact, the Chinese EV manufacturers largely copied Tesla’s model of tight, vertical integration. If the future is inevitably EV, then Tesla is one of the very few Western…

I’m not really sure what the deal is. I personally know someone who is still waiting on their order of 5 or so for their business in the New England area.

I look forward to Trump stiffing him like he did Guiliani and the rest of his crew. There’s no honor among thieves.

I cannot begin to wrap my head around the beyond fucked up situation we are in. This is going to be a nightmare. The Goebbels wannabe, stephen miller, is already tweeting about quickly implementing parts of 2025- you know- that thing trump had never heard of- in the name of an aggressive denaturalization process. Yes.…

I’m always attracted to the entryish-level offerings of most manufacturers, and though the new CLA looks pretty much like the generic jellybean minisedan blob of the prior gen (and recent related offerings from MBZ). Which isn’t awful, it just makes me sigh. Gimmicky head/taillights, while maybe cute, is no substitute…

More like 50 once he replaces Thomas & Alito.

Jalopnik editors have lost something over the years. I could see the old recommendations to be stuff like this

incEL Camino.

They would not have anything like enough time to raise sail and use them to do anything about the power loss, even if the wind was blowing in the right direction to help, and they had enough room to maneuver. 

The car did alert after hitting the deer, it just alerted RFK, Jr. to come pick up the carcass and dispose of it in Central Park. That’s the new protocol. 

It’s been below $2.80 by me in Jersey for a while I think. I don’t look much anymore, the vast bulk of our household miles are electric now. I have a few gas vehicles still, but they are toys so they get filled very infrequently. This whole ‘what’s the price of fuel today?’ thing is really goofy once it stops being…

Absolutely blew the minds of a few MAGAs when I explained the basic economics of crude extraction, oil refining, and end user sales and how POTUS has virtually zero influence on it. Didn’t change their political leanings at all, but they did shut up about gas prices the rest of the day. 

Definitely a more appealing package.
