Umm, no. By saying two companies that have yet to even have rolling prototypes are taking Tesla’s playbook by going public, he’s implying that was the case with Tesla as well. When Tesla went public in 2010, the Roadsters production run was almost over.

This article would make some sense if Tesla had gone public before having a product on the market, but they didn’t and this doesn’t.

I really hope that Renault’s continued protests are just a little bit of payback to RP for ratting them out at the Japanese GP last year - they were also ruled to be acting in contravention of the sporting regulations rather than the technical regulations, but they copped a DSQ for both cars.

It’s worth it, for me. It’s funny — when I lived in Hawaii, I had no problems watching it on ESPN (or whatever station was carrying it at whatever time of night). Since moving back to Europe, thought, I do not get the SKY broadcast (English) on my Ziggo cable package, so it’s cheaper and easier for me to subscribe to…

Tis seems silly but they're fighting over tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars in the end, so suddenly it's a little less silly.

Wrong, it is the cheapest way to watch F1. As a cord-cutter, I subscribed to F1 TV for the first time this year. A well-timed single month $10 pro subscription has afforded me 3 races and I just upped for another month. It is easy and it works really well. You can watch live or after the fact. There are highlight…

For sure - you can walk into a Tesla showroom or shop on the Tesla website and buy an actual care that you can actually drive and that does a lot of things really well. Yep, their panel gaps are a bit inconsistent early on in their production runs. Yep, they keep pushing their wink/nod advertising for “Autopilot” in a…

Not only that, but just the completely obtuse stance Raph takes is mind-numbing. Read this:

That sounds like one more than Nikola has done so far

Ralph and Erik are probably the worst writers on this site (Erik for sure). Completely biased against certain companies or cars.

Holy shit, this. I am no fanboy either but I’m sure I look like it because I feel half my comments these days are calling out Raph and Erik on their crusade against Tesla because... reasons?  This may be the worst take yet. 

1st Gear: I’m no apologist for Tesla, trust me. But Tesla has a solid track record of, like, actually manufacturing shit. Maybe not on schedule, and perhaps not with the greatest quality, but building units and pushing them out the door on a daily basis. Nikola? They just broke ground on a manufacturing facility that…

You’re paying the same amount of money for the same game and getting less content. It’s super shitty. If a game is on multiple platforms it should get the same content.

Yeah...this is super shitty, and that’s coming from a dyed in the wool Sony Pony.

The Tesla weighs as much as an aircraft carrier. The Honda weighs as much as a deck of cards in comparison. Lots more heft behind an impact. Any impact.

I can see pretty clearly a dent in the lower bumper right in front of the wheel. My professional opinion (I’m an insurance adjuster/arbitrator) is that the guy hit a curb or some other fixed object hard enough to damage the suspension. It looks like the lower control arm broke off from the steering knuckle during a…

Any product can have a part that was accidentally made improperly. That’s what warranties are for. But the bizarre damage to a week-old car makes me wonder what REALLY happened here. Anything can be pushed past its breaking point.

Eeee... yeah, in a way, Elon’s pushing at Tesla is helping to get the world moving away from fossil fuels. Both on the transport front AND on the energy storage front.

power understeer in the dry or in the wet into a curb and it’s pretty common to see a suspension collapse and a wheel cave in. 

need more pics, need to see the face of the wheel, kinda looks like wheel has scrub from a curb - curb contact can definitely pop a ball joint.
