Tesla does battery “manufacturing” in house, meaning they put all the cells they purchase together into the different sizes and shapes for the different cars. They purchase their batterie cells just like everyone else does though.

Except for Cadillac is really bad at making money and needs to take advantage of economies of scale as much as possible.

Audi moved to turbocharging in all of those engines about 5 years ago.

Honestly the paint job is not horrendous, unnecessary and lacking the history of the previous yes. But it’s a simple red, white, and blue; I see nothing wrong with it.

If only these supposed "car journalists" could be this detailed about anything mildly car related and not political.

You really are the worst, you know that right? None of your commenting is ever helpful, just unecessary and annoying.

If your purchasing power has been decreasing in the last five years you are clearly doing something wrong. with the lowest inflation ever and the strongest richest market ever.

Every airport rental car agency is FULL of Gladiators, which tells me the real quality they are.

“On the porkier side”

But you dont need a crossover to get groceries and to work and back. Lexus is one of the last holdouts in wonderful, comfortable, sporty NA V8s and no one is buying them because they would rather have a stupid crossover.

I do not relate cost of a car at all to how much of an enthusiast you are, but an rx350 is not an inexpensive car, but there are 20 other options that are more fun and just as practical. Its absurd how much this “enthusiast” website is in support of the crossover trend.

Alanis, you barely talked about how this car drove at all. Under “The Driving Experience” you wrote more about how it looks than how it drove. As well as you did not bring up once that you had it on track and your impressions there instead of the street. Jalopnik content is really going downhill and its disappointing…

I hate that in reviews like this they barely talk about what it’s actually like to drive the car anymore. Like they let Alanis take it on track and she didnt mention it once!

You are 100% wrong. These are the heaviest versions.

The average population is idiotic. This is why we have the electoral college.

You are totally right. But I remember back in the day when Jalopnik was actually full of enthusiasts, and your RX350 is boring as hell. You might as well buy a Prius. 

Look, I love the viper and in general hate SUVs and douche trucks . But those cars get 3 times the gas mileage while carrying 6-9 people with 350+ hp and 10x the storage capacity, and on top of all that are cheaper than the viper was. By every definition they are more practical. The viper is way cooler and more fun,…

You are the worst, you know that right?

Yeah he lost me at “Tesla, IMO the most advanced car in the world.” Clearly Elon’s brainwashing is working.

Thats wildly outdated information. the us Gov limited its accuracy during and post cold war so our enemies who had no gps satellites couldn’t use it for military use. Its accurate to about a foot now.
