Elon started off as this generation’s Henry Ford, and unfortunately continued to become this generation’s Henry Ford.

Everybody gripes about the clickbait articles on Jalop, but the real enthusiast stuff like this doesn't seem to generate many comments, so...anyway, thanks for posting this, keep the stories like it coming.  E9 is on my bucket list, unfortunately, as a tail end boomer, the front and middle end generational cohorts…

Except for the engine, transmission, rear brakes, and seating position (if you are over 6'), sure, it’s great!

Here is a different take, it’s awful. Driving position is awful. Ride is about as good as a Flintstones vehicle. Full size trucks deliver better mpg. Auto transmission shifts at all the wrong places. 4WD is part time only. Rear seat folding is awkward. Seat bottom folds forward so you don’t get a flat surface rear cab…

it looked familiar:

On the one hand, I laughed.  On the other hand, I groaned at myself for laughing.  Take your star, but also think about what you’ve done!

They say the camera adds a few tons.

I originally read that as shopping carts get 1.16 mpg.

Elizabeth - your reviews are FANTASTIC. I don’t know why, but the way you layout and describe things sucks me in. I wish Jalopnik would hire you to do all of their reviews. 

The awful thing about Karens
Is Karens are awful things!
Their complaints are generally petty
To any old bullshit they’ll cling!
They’re bitchy, kitschy, twitchy, snitchy
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad!
But the one wonderful thing about Karens is
...they provide excellent viral content.

I love it. It’s big, it’s dumb, it’s garish and it’s a normal looking EV.

Here in Finland less than a quarter of cars have AWD and it snows everywhere. It’s not an issue unless you are an idiot.

In her case, AutoPilot probably saves a life or two every time she gets behind the wheel. 

It’s actually not a bad idea. Which is terrifying. 

This is so genius it’s giving me a hysterical breakdown. It would legitimately work so fucking well and would be the most pointed exercise in Tesla Stan brain mush, it’s not even funny
