In Jalopnik, land of shitty cars and slow Miatas, it’s not always about working properly or going fast.

From what it sounds like in their email response above, Aston couldn’t give two shits.

They took it out on the track, did this:

I actually found it amusing, and I didn’t see it as “get over it”—he’s calling out the fact that the news article is just using his/Tesla’s brand recognition to boost traffic, while having little direct connection to the subject matter.

So, what I’m reading in this is that the only acceptable tweets are bland corporate speak.

Fuck that sideways with a busted rake.

We’re humans, we should express some goddamn humanity. This wasn’t the official Tesla corporate twitter account, this is Elon Musk’s personal one. He’s allowed to talk like a real person, to…

Oh please. I’m no Musk fan - he’s basically Dean Kamen with a better product and smarter marketing - but saying that tweet is tone deaf isn’t even creating a mountain out of a molehill. It’s creating a molehill out of nothing. It’s exactly the level of sarcasm that should’ve been devoted to such a lame story.

uh how is sarcastically saying he hates flamingos (which obviously means he doesn’t hate flamingos) and telling people to stop eating the eggs somehow “belittle” the flamingo. what? if anything, he’s mocking the people that used to eat their eggs (which probably deserves its own criticism), not the flamingos.

Did either of you even read the article? He’s 1000% right. This is horseshit propaganda.

You. You know what’s up.

Seriously, where else will you see this on the track:

You're saying the original Top Gear formula quickly wore out its welcome? I wouldn't say 13 years is quick in television.

Sorry, I meant, “...there was no more of this disaster show left to sit through in hopes that it would get better but somehow got perpetually disappointed.”

when in life has hammond ever been the voice of reason ever at all on anything tho?

When the credits rolled, because then I knew I didn't have to watch any more of this disaster of a show.

“Most Austrians think of themselves as German.”

Eh, there are tons of pictures of him as an actual child. The one used just looks like somebody doesn’t know what he looks like today.

At the 6:35 mark, when the guys are trying to come with an explanation as to why people don’t just flip that starter motor part/wheel thing by telling him that it’s cheaper in the States to buy a new one. The Cuban dude laughs and calls them (or US mechanics) “parts changers” implying they’re not real mechanics but…
