If someone is willing to pay it, all the power to them. This is literally how the entire commerce system is based. Someone has money and someone has something for sale, they come to a price and exchange. If the thing is in demand then the price goes up, not rocket surgery. 

Autopilot does not allow for crazy acceleration. Furthermore, on a non-divided highway autopilot is limited to 5mph over the speed limit. There have been cases where mapping data is wrong (not limited to Tesla, just in general where your GPS might say 60, but really it’s 50 as an example) and that could have allowed a…

It’s being called out because Jalopnik writers seemingly make bonuses based on the number of Tesla hit pieces they can write. I actually live in this neighborhood, and you’re right. There is nowhere that you can drive fast enough to get wrapped around a tree unless you’re purposely being a jackass. And based on how my…

This article is trash. Jalopnik used to be the place to go to get unbiased and informative car news. Sad to see that you all just waste your weekends trawling local news websites for Tesla crashes now.

I know Jalopnik has a hard-on for shitting on Tesla but I don’t understand what Autopilot is being called out here. I pulled a map of the city and the only place where you find cul-de-sac there are in subdivisions where you have no business driving at speeds that would cause you car to be obliterated on impact.

Many will blame Tesla for the crash, deaths, and subsequent fire.  Seems to me that the driver and the tree played starring roles.

I see a sort of mechanized lift in the image, and while that is maybe better than a ladder in many cases, it’s still going to take time and introduces many points of failure.

I am amazed and shocked.

an article on Jalopnik about an Elon Musk related topic that doesn’t take random unrelated shots at him out of personal spite.

Bravo Torch for defying the mandate of hate.

To assume that every gas powered vehicle currently on sale can be replaced with an adequate electric equivalent in 8.5 years time seems optimistic beyond reason.

wth is with that two tone... the front wheel arch makes me cry

As a pure BEV I agree...I had a Spark EV with ~75 miles range and while that was fine for commuting duty very hard to sell that as a sole vehicle for anyone without access to an ICE vehicle as well. With my current Bolt I have 260 miles range with same (well less, thanks COVID) commute and feel like I am not using…

The rotary generator will mark the return of our unique rotary powertrain.

Or don’t do anything on it and resell for $50-100.

haha. There are no pro riders on $2000 bikes.

You could also just use the existing front derailleur as the chain guide. I do agree, if you’re not gonna huck you don’t need the narrow wide chain ring. Also, agree with grinding; however, you could just grind the teeth of the chain rings and that would provide the simplicity and chain retention you’re looking for. 

If you strip it down to make it cheaper, won’t it just seem even worse when lined up against the Model 3 Performance?

Throw up a bunch of solar panels and charging stations and now you have pretty self sufficient stops. Getting fuel out to those remote places requires pipes or trucks to get there, but solar just takes it from the sky above. Right now those places are not EV friendly, but they dont have to be that way. 

WHY WAS THAT TRUCK ON THE RACETRACK!?

Making H2 from electricity is hugely wasteful, the reason 95% of H2 is made from Natural Gas.
