The EV-1 absolutely was, but if you worship at the altar of Elon, then reality is irrelevent. It’s Automotive Trump.

It’s incredibly complicated. Sure, it’d be pretty simple to design one and fit it...but usability is a completely different topic. Aside from the need to cool the drivers, they have to be able to get out. A traditional up opening canopy won’t work upside down, if you slide it forward, the tracks could get jammed up…
I’ve gotta be that guy who says this but...
While Musk appreciates the Model 3's accessibility to a new segment of the market, claimed to be designed to reach “roughly half of people,”
Tesla Model 4 Hyper Drive XR4Ti Mobilty Tranport Device. Or TM4HDXR4TiMTD for short. Deposits now accepted in the amount of $39.99 so we can fund the remodel on the X falcon doors and pay off lawsuits.
I’m an attorney working in Westchester. I’m local, I have an extraordinary interest in all cars, I daily the closest thing you could get to a Boss 302 from Ford in model year 2014, and I have absolutely no interest in either of these positions. What I am interested in is providing limited copy editing for your…
Headrests are more about safety than comfort nowadays, especially in a Volvo.
racecar or beater, safety wire spinners are the greatest tool ever made. its basically a zip tie for parts that get too hot for plastic.(basically everything under the hood )
I’d think the EPA would take issue with those, and that state emissions boards would refuse to pass them. They won’t do that now because of the bad press, but if VW is giving you $5000 and a buyback, it becomes a more palatable option.
They’ll be driving illegal cars. The class action suit will probably try to get even more money because of this exact reason, but at the end of the day, if you can return a car that won’t pass inspection and you refuse to, that’s on you.
I will not be surprised if Prince Charles goes before HM QEII does.
no need to armor the royal rover.. anyone who wanted the queen dead has long since resigned themselves to the fact that the stubborn old cow isn’t going to die till she’s good and bloody well ready to...
I’d argue that this being “newsworthy” is based almost entirely on the fan boy attitude toward Tesla. If Ford went out and bought a fleet of I8's the day it came out, no one would care. But oh my gosh, a major auto maker buys a Tesla for above market prices, and all the sudden it’s headline news. Who cares? They…
““I am totally willing to overlook the issues if Tesla fixes it.” She went on to say that that if she had similar issues with her Cadillac Escalade, she “would be furious.””
Of course the owners (and the fanboys on this site) brush these things off like nothing. But if this were any other automaker, the Internet wild be alit with complaints. Shows you how blindly these people follow Tesla. While the other problems aren't that serious, the windshield and AutoPilot are scary. And the doors…
The recliner, which is provided to us by an outside supplier
I’m assuming they worded it this way to try to make themselves look better, but it comes across as a cop-out for crappy supply chain management. No one gives a shit if it's fabbed in house...it's in your end product.
Tesla recall: 2700 vehicles
They’re going to be $$$ or clapped out like every STI/EVO
