You should get, like, half the advertising revenue for doing the background research for him.

Yeah, the Prius is ugly because of intensely nuanced aerodynamics, but Tesla proves you can have your cake and eat it, too.

Interesting... I would love to read articles on the political/automotive landscape. It’s nice to know which automakers are bribing lobbying which politicians.

Doesn’t own a cell phone but loves making internet comments.

Hahaha, my thought exactly; nevermind, take them back!

I’m fully behind this primarily because it makes motoring more affordable.

Either that or a very resourceful publicist

I’d say Kevin earned his seat time.

How did this not happen sooner? I’ll test driving the diesel and hybrid versions when they come out. I could easily see this as FCA’s alternative fuel volume seller, if you count diesel as alternative.

Yeah, it sounds like they chose to bail on Tesla due to its sink-or-swim future outlook, and instead buddy up with time-tested corporations.

Can you clarify how they “faked” sales, though? I get that they manipulated data and interpreted it to best suit them, but it doesn’t sound like they actually forged sales paperwork or anything, which is my gut definition of “faking sales.”

Low-maintenance, too, which would make taxpayers grin.

Give is the 400 hp Chevy Trax we deserve, GM!!!

Interesting. I had no idea it was so complex. I wonder if Tesla will turn into Apple, going proprietary, or if things will level out and at least be standard by country. I guess, too, stations could have Tesla and non-Tesla “pumps” just like they do with gas and diesel.

Interesting, I’ve never read that breakdown before. But, couldn’t non-Tesla marques simply develop an adapter to plug into Superchargers?

I think they’re hoping to make a name for themselves in the game, to be prepared when demand explodes. They probably realize they have no chance in hell competing in today’s market, so the only hope is to look towards the future and hope sales maintain until then.

I’d love to read something from the perspective of poached talents in today’s auto industry, ones that got snatched from traditional marques for work with a start-up. This probably won’t happen soon, but in a decade or so I hope one of them writes a book.

Weren’t they going to produce an SUV at some point?

Can you plug any electric vehicle into a Tesla charging station? Rather, can you plug any EV into any EV charging station? I see signs around L.A. calling out “EV charging stations” with no other description, so I always assumed any EV could use them.

Yeah, this is where synonyms come in handy.
