“If an owner is going to freak out over a €22,000 repair perhaps he didn’t deserve one of our cars in the first place.” — Tesla Public Relations Department

Ups the odds of getting a ride.

That hitchhiker seems to be taking an unwholesome interest in the girls inside. Slam the door and get out of there.

If you didn’t order a radio Ramblers from the early ‘60s decorated the space with pieces that suggested a radio, chrome buttons in place of knobs and a little black plate instead of the dial. A perpetual reminder you were too cheap to pop for a radio.  

Driving gloves.

“Ever since we bought our Prius we’re spending a lot less time at home and a lot more time on the road.” Said no one ever. 

At some point buyers are going to start looking at efficiency, not just range. Wether you measure it in kWh/100miles or miles/kWh, those numbers will point you to what the vehicles will actually cost to drive. Not quite as critical if you’re charging at home on residential rates but public charging stations are going…

If you’re the type of person who reads the fine print perhaps you don’t deserve to own a Tesla.

I know a guy who ran his up to over 100k miles and had it for 10+ years. Just routine maintenance, no other issues with it. I guess we’re 1-for-1.

I never quite understood all the hate. These aren’t great cars but lots of perfectly serviceable cars aren’t great. In a world filled with anonymous, look-alike crossovers and SUVs in fifty shades of gray, the PT Cruiser’s cartoonish looks at least dared to be different. And the drop-top ramps up the cartoonish to…

“If your car door freezes shut pour hot water over it.” I just heard this recently from someone living in Florida. Go figure.

I was thinking the same thing. This guy has owned a 2500 series diesel pickup for seventeen years. He won’t be happy with anything other than a full-size pickup. 

“. . . because I love the car.”

$4.99/mo. for the standard plan, $8.99 for nitrogen. 

Yeah, those “defective” drain plugs will get you every time.

I once knew somebody who owned one and had a chance to ride in it on a fairly long trip and though it’s not my kind of ride I get why people buy these. For people who go on long road trips with half a dozen other people this is about the most comfortable way to travel and makes way more sense than a big SUV. Plus, as…

If anything happens to Torch we’re holding you personally responsible.

Neutral: Without Tesla EV development would have proceeded more slowly and in a different direction. At the time we had the “compliance cars”, most of which were small hatchbacks like the Focus Electric the E-Golf and the Fiat 500e. Car makers would likely have expanded EV development from that starting point. It has…

Someone so desperate that they pay over sticker for a car right now probably isn’t paying cash so how are lenders handling it? Just guessing but I would think they would want a lot more down, a higher interest rate, and gap insurance for any borrower without an absolutely sterling credit rating. It must cost a lot of…

Pretty much can’t stand the ads where car makers wrap themselves in the flag, God, and country. Dodge and Ram are the worst offenders but Chevy isn’t far behind.
