This is good kinja.

3rd Gear: Umm this is nothing new? Manufacturing robots have always been connected to an internal network that monitors their behavior. Having diagnostic data uploaded to a server to keep track of robot down time and parts supply isn’t groundbreaking or unique, it’s common sense. It’s more surprising that they have…

Why bother? because you don’t have to deal with 4000 lbs. of batteries...

Why don’t you talk to NASA about batteries and why they use fuel cells on the ISS or RTGs for deep space satellites.

I don’t want mine to have a Tesla badge or battery. I want a fuel cell. I don’t give a fuck what the journalistic perception of fuels cells are. Batteries fucking suck.

Ignore the alternate reality that the Jalopnik writers live in.

“In fact its much more cost effective to recycle old li-ion batteries than it is to produce them from raw materials.”

Yup, this is not the first time I’ve heard about this from a United employee.

Exactly. The Porsche fanbois of Jalopnik are wrong 10/10.

Terrible build quality for what you pay, yes. I think the depreciation of these vehicles makes this point pretty clear. “Pretty good” was in the context of every else out there. I just don’t see these vast chasms that everyone else does when the Maserati is up against the likes of Mercedes, Audi, and BMW. Sure it…

I would be the hold out. You wouldn’t catch me dead in one. I’d much rather have a Hydrogen EV than any battery powered EV.

Definitely not in our lifetimes.

On what planet? Your statements are pretty baseless without any facts to support them. Few parts, not “a lot,” come from FCA part bins and build quality is pretty good, much better than anything coming out of Tesla.

Yeah but this is like failing a class that your asshole roommate signed up for you without your knowledge.

Let’s get into the “poor reliability,” I’m going to argue that this is an entirely dubious notion due to poor metrics and a lack of standardization defining what it actually is. For example, this is how JD power…

Exactly. With each passing day, I’m becoming more convinced that the writers at Jalopnik are actually click-bait authors disguised as car enthusiasts. Their Alfa Giulia review was so dull, it sounded like it came out of the automotive section of Forbes magazine. In fact most of their reviews are rather dull and…

LOL

Non c’è dubbio che questi scrittori di merda a Jalopnik hanno un pregiudizio contro Marchionne e le macchine Italiane.

Don’t you come in here with that logic, no rational thought is allowed here at Jalopnik.

Can someone do an article on the 10 recalls currently out for a myriad of Porsche vehicles? or the recalls out for Mercedes over melting starter wire harness that may cause the car to burn to the ground?

It’s a Bosch ECU, nice try though.
