The eBay turbo, shitty chip and fart can have entered the EV age! There has always been a cohort who wants more performance on the cheap and its nice to see that they’ve found a way to bring terrible short sighted mods to the Model 3.

Nobody cares about your take on Tesla. Much more educated and informed people have been making this case for years and yet they have defied the odds. This is clickbait trash. I miss good Jalopnik   

Tesla is a tech company, energy company, auto company, solar company, forward thinking company and there isn’t a single analyst out there that understand it as they are all siloed into their own vertical. Also, only about 15-20% of the stock is owned by retail and speculator investors (hedge funds) so the price…

A cash machine like Apple making $55 Billion per year is worth a shit ton for its ongoing ability to make profits.

I bet that $420 is starting to look real good right about now. They laughed then, they laugh now. Oh, its not worth it, but panel gaps, but no profits, but not saving the environment, but stop calling it autopilot, but other automakers are just about to release a Tesla killer, but his tweets, but unstable genius, but…

“Major player in electric utilities” isn’t far off. The battery/storage side of things is growing into a demand that is also growing. That ‘million mile’ battery tech seems to be panning out.

That’s the bet being made.

The only thing I can think of someone out there expects Tesla to become a major player in electric utilities, maybe on the verge or a vertical monopoly. It’s a bet that perhaps they do in the next 20 years what Amazon did in the last 20 years. People are afraid to miss out on that $2 stock that’s trading at $2000 now…

One side of the coin is that there is a liquidity problem with too much money trying to find someplace to park.

I don’t understand why you all keep on framing the valuation of Tesla as “crazy” or unsubstantiated. Markets will shift once gas prices increase and electric cars are the future. People are genuinely excited about Tesla and Elon Musk has proven again and again to create products that people want. Ford hasn’t made a…

You mean to tell me when a company only has (my SWAG) 5% of its vehicle production that’s electrified/hybridized, that it turns out it does not get a stock valuation bump like a company which is 100% EV and has a successful track record producing such cars? Ohmigod, sound the alarms—the gods of capitalist commonsense…

Even knowing and having dealt with many of the potential headaches of that vintage BMW, that price seems too good to be true. I have two young kids and a demanding job and have been planning putting off the purchase of a project/fun/weekend car for a few years at least. But hell, even with that said I’d buy this thing…

you put it in a museum where it belongs. you don’t put it on live television. you don’t put it on monuments for traitors after the head traitor himself said DON’T DO THAT, and you don’t ignore what that symbol means to the oppressed.

Idon’t give one flying fuck if it represents heritage to some folks (it should bring…

Good on you, NASCAR.  And for any NASCAR fans angry about this, please kindly FUCK OFF. 

It seems that, true to form, NASCAR has taken a turn to the left.

what still baffles me is how these people call themselves real “American patriots” but show it by flying a flag of literal treason.

Who said these trucks would be moving across the country? How many Semi’s commute relatively short distances such as deliveries from distribution centers? I honestly not sure of the numbers, but I’m sure there is a niche to fill in the short term as they work towards long distance solutions over the next decade or two.

One would think vehicles of 2040-2050 will not be using 2020 tech.

dafuq is wrong with you

Um, Elon Musk may be a privileged shitheel, but the question mark after “land of the free and the home of the brave” is absolutely appropriate, not for any political reason, but because the lyric is indeed the end of a question: “Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home…
