Buyers will consist of tech dweebs with lots of disposable income and small business owners who are able to take advantage of the extreme tax credits of heavy (over 3 tons GVWR) commercially-owned vehicles. For the latter, the $100K CT will cost roughly $35K to $45K after tax credits, assuming their taxable income is…

This comment deserves way more than 3 star  clicks!

I don’t think there is anything particularly special about the CT’s platform compared to other EVs. It doesn’t seem to have proper offroad chops and lacks the utility of a conventional pickup. Best case scenario, you could develop a nice 3-row mall crawler that can handle some very mild offroading akin to a Tahoe.

It seems like the weight of the cybertruck is the main issue with its lack of range, at least when compared to the model X. Depending on trim, the cybertruck comes in 1,500 to 1,700 lbs heavier than the model X which is about a 30% increase in weight. Meanwhile, the cybertruck’s battery is only 23% larger than the…

I was thinking the exact same thing.  If I were involved in drug trade, I would be driving a 6 year old CRV and live in a modest house in a safe but otherwise unassuming neighborhood.  

I’m not sure what this guy is smoking, but I want some. That price might be fine for a garage queen collector’s specimen with less than 50K miles on the clock, for a few thousand more, you can buy a well-sorted M5 with similar mileage.  Even a non-M V8 with 200K miles will sell for less.

I know lots of people in the same boat and it must be frustrating. Aesthetics and build quality aside, Tesla paved the way for the modern high-volume EV and has some of the best battery and charging technology. Fortunately, the big manufacturers have caught up and the next-generation of EVs from non-Tesla brands will…

I have a mechanical engineering background so I am in the same boat.  Every time I see a Tesla minivan (model X) with falcon doors on the rear, all I can think of is how many engineering hours were invested in ensuring the Model X does not have rear minivan doors.  And don’t get me started on the decision to add a few…

I scratch my head every time I see a 6-figure mega-RV with interior finishes from the late nineties.  I mean, I know architecture and interior design in the suburbs tends to be pretty dated but RV manufacturers take it to the extreme.

Not just guns but unfettered access to guns for all, including those with criminal backgrounds and/or histories of mental health issues.

I am betting $1K that they handed her back her firearms after she made bail.

Dear Tesla Stans, know that when you buy your cellphones on wheels, you are supporting a right-wing maniac who has zero self-awareness.

How about they make an electric version of the beautiful AMG GT 5-door instead of the Dodge Intrepid-looking EQ sedans and then I might consider one.

My personal experience supports the idea that German cars are reliable if properly maintained. Point in case, the 130K mile, 22 years old M5 and 140K mile, 10 years old X5 sitting in my garage. They have been absolutely flawless and barely cost more than brakes, gas, and oil to keep them in good shape.

I have never seen a Polaris Slingshot driven by anybody other than men from the ages of 50-80 and they are typically blasting bad music loud enough that it can be heard from blocks away.  

If  I can’t see it from my back yard, I’ll pass until next time...

They are a tech company and unfortunately, even the biggest and most experienced tech companies (ex. Apple and most video game developers) tend to release products that are not fully readily for primetime knowing that the data they collect from users will help develop future updates.

Great technology that they should just sell to a company that knows how to actually build a car.

It is essentially like watching full scale Battlebots duke it out.
