Um...in a universe with basic safety engineering principles? Every single vehicle should be designed with brakes that are capable of stopping that vehicle even when its throttle is at 100%. If you can’t engineer brakes like that for 1000HP electric motors, then you should step back the power of the motors until they

Agreed on the point about world-weary Ahsoka - she just seems so different from her personality in all of her animated appearances, it’s a bit jarring. I don’t doubt that someone would grow tired after so many years of hiding and fighting, but...I don’t know, it just seems like an overcorrection.

I really don’t like being a conspiracy theorist about anything...but with the fact that “verification” now means nothing, people can impersonate trustworthy sources/brands so easily, and Russian-state media is using the platform to push further disinformation...I really can’t help but ask “If Musk were actively trying

They really should have dropped any reference to the Animus when they rebooted the series with Origins. They had the chance for a clean break.

I feel like we already have so many WWII games already, and this one would just get lost in the shuffle.

And if Jalopnik continues to post stuff like this, I will be exiting. But as someone who has followed this site since before it become a celebrity gossip blog, I’m allowed to express disappointment that it has drifted so far from what it was.

It’s news, but it’s not car news. Not every type of news needs to be reported on every type of news site.

If he actually dies, that affects Tesla, so yes. Having Covid with mild symptoms does not affect Tesla.

Yes, I did read that, but it really felt like a weak attempt to find a way to tie this story into car news somehow, because the author now that this story on its own has nothing to do with what Jalopnik is supposedly about - cars!

The fact that Musk is CEO of a car company does not make every story about him relevant on a car blog. I don’t need to know if the CEO of Toyota gets married, or any time a manager at Ford has a bowel movement. Those aren’t CAR stories.

But this story has nothing to do with cars. This story has nothing to do with Tesla.. This story is about nothing more than the celebrity himself , so put it on a celebrity news site. Somebody else mentioned Jezebel, they should put this story there.

Jezebel’s stated focus is “Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth.” It makes sense to post about celebrities there.

Is this car news?

Except this isn’t “bringing fat juice steaks to the vegan-specific company office,” this is something that the employee was doing on his own time, with his own vehicle, off of company property.

Touché

Even if Tesla’s actions are legal here, what they did was wrong and harmful.

I’m not really sure what “surprised” has to do with this. The fact that this is completely expected of Tesla does not make it any less outrageous or wrong, and THAT is what people are talking about.

What other brand is seeing 25% price increases on every unit of a given model they sell? Every single Model 3 Standard Range Plus is now 25% more expensive than it was a year ago. What other vehicle model can you point to that has seen a similar price increase?

What are the aims or concerns that are incompatible?

You literally used “trashing” in your example.
