Um... would it be that hard to allow the doors to continue to operate during an update? Or at least allow the manual release to function without somehow damaging the vehicle? (Or require updates to be performed when the vehicle is empty, like Lucid?) I really wonder sometimes whether Tesla actually understands (or…

Well, not all Jalopnik readers are in the US, but yes it sure does suck to read about stuff we’re not going to get, especially when it’s this interesting (to me at least).

Q: Why does VW hate America, and since they clearly do, why should we care about this car at all?

Let’s hope so. But so far, she’d been booked, not convicted, and this is Florida we’re talking about, after all...

Anybody wanna bet fitty cents who she’s voting for in November? (Assuming she’s not in the big house?)

Yup, Porsche all day, every day. Going back to that 944 commercial with “School’s Out For Summer” in it, the 928 in Risky Business, and the 959, always, always the 959. And this poster on my bedroom wall:

Re Harleys: I would think the Honda Gold Wing is even more stereotypical.

LeBlanc, Harris, Hammond...?

“the new Taycan’s 400 kW of energy recuperation power under braking” So, the brakes on this car are nearly twice as powerful as my car’s engine. <sigh>

All these suggestions of sewage treatment plants are too good for Trump. He doesn’t clean up anything. His name should be on actual sewage or waste, e.g. rename the Gowanus Canal or the Fresh Kills Landfill for him. (Particularly Fresh Kills, after all, they love him in Staten Island, don’t they?)

I guess this is the day I go back to Annandale.

This brain trust knows that cruise ships are already petri dishes practically designed to breed germs, right?

I suspect The Diamond Age might better fit the “unfilmable” category.

Porsche Panamericana. It gives me Stratos vibes.

“Buddy, the numbers haven’t meant anything for a long time.” I think they should just round the horsepower to the nearest 10 and stick that on there.

The various CERVs. I mean, yeah, now we have the C8, but decades too late. Zora Arkus-Duntov never got to see it happen. :-/ 

The heating problem in the 535i - could that be a vacuum leak?

I think the Magnum and the Maxx are still pretty good-looking (or at least interesting, in the case of the Maxx).

Don’t like the D-pillar treatment. It looks unfinished or something. Decent looking overall, though. So was the Forte that it’s replacing.

“This compact sedan is basically a “fancy” GTI with four doors” More like a fancy GLI, no?
