First of all, Jalopnik is like 3 days late to this. Ive seen this posted everywhere.

Once you realize that Jalopnik is paid by advertisers (many of which are auto companies like Ford, GM, VW, Toyota, etc.) and that Tesla famously doesn’t advertise at all, these pathetic zero-research hit pieces make a lot more sense.

Implying you’re more likely to die in a Tesla than in other cars? I’m pretty sure that’s false.. how about looking up some actual data instead of just spouting old opinions over and over every time somebody wrecks a Tesla?

Really, a *third* article on this subject when there’s still essentially no facts available to discuss?

1500 people died yesterday. The worst is behind us, but this, apparently is what passes for acceptable in the USA.

In this guy’s defense, that’s not really what he’s asking, at least as I read his comment. It’s not whether or not people drove worse and crashed more, it’s whether it was specific original actors or a collectively higher mean rate of travel. Both are plausible to me, especially since speed limits are generally set at…

Is there any proof that it’s people speeding that caused issues, or just the faster flow of traffic in general due to fewer vehicles? It’s a lot harder to get into a fatal collision during bumper-to-bumper rush hour than when everyone is going 70.

Does this article really need to be a slideshow?

I’m not sure what you are looking for with more exciting off season news than a new engine manufacturer coming to the sport?

I think you are missing the bigger picture. Starlinks targeted market is for people that dont have any options for Internet access. I live in Bethesda Maryland and have access to 3 different internet service providers and am currently a Verizon FIOS customer with 1Gb symmetric Fibre internet access so neither Starlink…

Niche vehicles like Roadster and Semi just apparently aren’t a priority in their current business model, and they don’t have the batteries to spare.

Tesla has always said since launch a small number of Cybertrucks from Austin in Q4 2021 with ramp up in 2022, soooo Thanks for reporting click bait  2 year old “news”??

Tesla grew by 35% in 2020 while legacy OEMs were down 35%. I used to love Jalopnik, but I’m beginning to see this venue as yet another outlet of FUD spinning for legacy fossil fuel based propulsion. Reminds me of FUD claiming there is no climate emergency. Shameful.

Okay so...

That steering wheel looks badass. Its been on every concept vehicle since the dawn of time, glad to see it go into production. Like everything, I’m sure the driver would get used to it.

The 278 record is held by Koenigsegg, Jason, not McLaren.

Just a regular car fan here. No particular interest or disinterest in tesla, other than to say its a innovative American company, and the whole FSD and Elon and whatever is a bit much and quite silly. But the coverage of anything on this site about Tesla reads as very childish... Like can an article about Tesla be…

But your idea is regressive. Its the equivalent of installing thousands of miles of cables when everyone else has gone cellular and/or satellite. Its relying on the roads being maintained and each municipality or government agency having its shit together to install these things and keep them in place. Its the…

Hey, uh, Jalopnik writers. You do realize that as it stands people have been driving on roads and freeways without any redundancies since the beginning of time? As in, vehicles are being piloted by people who are inherently driving less safe than current “semi-autonomous” vehicles, and we have no “safety net”. Person…

I like that position but not for driving. How does one see the road clearly while leaning back? This must be a joke.
