You are all missing the point because you can’t see the slant of the media’s coverage. Jalopnik is not about cars anymore. It’s about how cars fit into left wing ideologies. The protests are being supported by the vast majority of the country. They are taking place in every provincial capital and cities and towns…

It’s been really unsettling to watch liberals react to this basically the same way that the right responded to the Floyd protests. People love the cops as long as they are directed against those that they perceive as their political enemies.

Bugatti shouldn’t have said anything. Everyone knows the car is capable of these speeds and everyone knows the driver was acting on his own behalf. Putting out statements that they disavow this stuff just makes people ask well then why do you make them like that.

You know what I’ve never done after forking over tens of thousands of dollars to a company to buy their product? Volunteer as their PR department as so many of these Tesla fanatics do. Has Tesla ownership become ingrained into their personality that they take any perceived slight as a personal attack?

I think that you’re looking at this wrong. This means that you can also replace an Escape instrument panel with a Maverick one. 

Why not treat it as a right with responsibilities? 

“All of that up there is stuff Elon is pulling ex recto.”

Magnificent.

Look I know that EVs are The Car Of The Future and Gasoline Is Bad, but the reality is that the internal combustion engine of today is about 99% cleaner than it was in days gone by. That’s not a minor achievement.

Game Boy Color and Game Boy Camera...

Every single part of this is incredibly dumb.

I missed this, but a few years ago, I actually rented a 2019 750d xDrive (which is a quad-turbo diesel I6) and drove it on the Autobahn. I loved the gobs of torque, and it even returned a combined ~40 MPG US.

To be fair, the whole concept of having to tell people in an advertisement that there are other alternatives to their transportation mode is asinine. Do people buying cars tend to forget that they could walk and therefore require the reminder?

right, but you’re missing that he likely paid for the other 2 battery packs and the 3 motors. That 35K$ savings could be used on the battery packs, but you still have the motors at about 20k$ each. I think this is close even if you include the oil changes in an ICE.

You want a 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

what I want in my car is a dumb display and a bluetooth speaker system.

I’ll bring my own computation thank you very much.

“UNDERAGE”

He wants to cosplay as a humble man-o’-the-people so that when he has to pay taxes on the stock he’s forced to sell, dudes making $35000/year dumping their extra money in Dogecoin will defend him on twitter.

After a while people create the fiction for themselves. What others think is irrelevant compared to the story you want to believe yourself.

Why would he even make this shit up? What could this possibly gain him? And what is up with the stupid looking hair cut?
