The Lucid Air doesn’t exist either and while I agree they probably highly tweaked this to beat all of the Air’s stats (exactly 520+ miles > 517 miles is too suspicious), this is just an iteration on their existing car so the Plaid has a higher chance of existing in 2022. The main announcement is the improvement in the…

Lol. They literally linked the Lucid 9 second quarter-mile article in this one and the tone could not be any more night and day. I’m sorry but this is a bit much. Jalopnik is thrilled about performance until it isn’t? Until Tesla does it? I’m not trying to be an Elon apologist but... damn.

“Nobody needs a car that can do 0-60 in under 2 seconds”

“It’s absurd that anyone with $150,000 can just place an order for this level of rolling vehicular manslaughter from the factory. If you want to run faster than 12s, you should have to build it yourself.”

Do you also want me to get off your lawn?

There is a Hyundai (or is it Kia) ad where one driver changes lanes without looking and would have side-swiped a car - they looks so relieved that the car saved them. The 2nd part shows them driving too fast in a parking lot and the car brakes in time to not run someone over. Phew! 

Uh, you mean India? And what are we talking about that is intellectual property? A 1950's Jeep? Every part of the Roxor was different, even before the alien makeover. Hell, this thing never even came close to aping something like Cobra kit cars have done for decades.

Ugly as hell, but I still like it. Stelliffyllis, Shittellus, or whatever FCA is called now can still shove it.  Would 100% love to waltz this ugly middle finger around some Jeeps on a tight trail.

Wrong Wallace.  

I must be the only person around that adores this car. It’s beautiful and a HUGE turn around for Maserati as of late. I haven’t lusted after a Maser in decades, and never thought I would again... but here we are.

“And the wheels are just too busy.”

I’m sorry but the car you just described is the new Grand Wagoneer. This car is pure sex on wheels.

“Luckily, this time Tesla had a loyal employee who wasn’t swayed by greed and who did the right thing.”

I am no longer curious about what a hippopotamus ballet would provide as entertainment.

I never played MudRunner, so I can’t comment on a comparison between the two.

Normally I’d agree with you, but I’m definitely drinking the T.50 Kool-Aid right now. 

Because the shuttle was a really good idea, after all - expensive, extremely hard to maintain, marginal safety rating, no way of really aborting a failed launch, complex... Yeah, that’s the idea. Gliders have problems.

You and Allison Robicelli must be fun on the company slack channel.

I agree that it is silly to anthropomorphise robots. But I also think it’s silly to feel threatened by such a basic machine.

 Army Space Corps is a helluva lot better than Space Force.

I can’t believe that there are people that still think that way. Unless, your car is on fire don’t jump out on a hot race track.  It’s literally one of the first things they teach in racing.
