Oh come off it. Everyone but the most deranged max fanboi has already gotten over this and moved on. Everyone who’s watched F1 for more than a couple years knows that drivers fuck up, sometimes dramtically, and sometimes even when it’s your fault the other guy loses out more.

Senna literally t-boned another driver turn one on the last race of the season because he was ahead in the points and knew all he needed was for the other driver to not finish. No one puts an asterisk by that season. They still call him one of the greatest drivers ever.

No, they won’t. Otherwise they’d have asterisks by Schumacher and others as well.

“It’s absurd that anyone with $150,000 can just place an order for this level of rolling vehicular manslaughter from the factory. If you want to run faster than 12s, you should have to build it yourself.”

Do you also want me to get off your lawn?

Since the thing has regenerative braking, there should be less of a range impact than with a conventional pickup, which just wastes that kinetic energy as heat from the brake pads.

You must like boring cars.  I bet you drive a silver audi.

This article was so poorly written that I can’t tell exactly what the point of it was.

Mate, I don’t want to be the one to break it to you, but that whole burning gasoline thing? Really, really bad for the environment. Like, just a little bit more than electric vehicles. And by 'a little', I mean 'a lot'.

I’ve long said Tesla is very likely to become the Tivo of electric cars. They’re great at marketing and packaging, but their cars aren’t doing anything that can’t be emulated by another marque. All the big makes have been competing against a $100k Grand Touring sports car with $35k econo cars (that would be $15k if…

Actually if it wasn’t for Bill Gates buying 25% of Apple, they would have been bankrupt well before they ever came out with their phones. and really, you think that developing cars that cost 50K to $100,000 is the same thing as developing phones that cost $500-$1,000?? There’s a reason of why Tesla stock in the past…

And, yeah, you need to stop it with outdated data. Tesla has turned a corner and is profitable. #1 and #3 are now completely wrong for anyone that bothered reading the news today.

You under estimate what’s not said in the article. #1 is Tesla is miles ahead of anybody with a production level self-driving car. They have real world experience for nearly a decade.  #2 Tesla has a monopoly on the charging station and special software/benefits to Tesla drivers. Everyone is rushing to market EV…

I think you massively underestimate the head start Tesla has, and massively underestimate how long manufactures will take to catch up.

There is a thing called the innovator’s dilemma. You say “if they had the will” but that is the problem. They spent too much investment in ICE, so until they pay off their investment, their transition to EVs will be slow. I can’t tell you who will be the best selling EV brand 20 years from now, but I can more then…

Tesla is the only company that can currently build EV at scale with usable margins.

VW may get there.

Anyone who thinks a bit of “political will” will close the gap with Tesla’s battery tech, industrial integration, and charging network, well, I can dream too.

imo that ignores several things that Tesla has made look easy, but really isn’t easy at all:

As someone who has played with projectors for years and has several, I can’t get over the low lumens on all of these Anker projectors.

If SUVs are outlawed, then only outlaws will have SUVs.

For the life of me, I still don’t understand why lifted bro trucks are still street-legal. California is cracking down on all sorts of stuff (noise, emissions, a harmless check engine light, illegally imported small cars that bother absolutely no one, etc). Hell, even my E-85 converted Saab is technically illegal…

Any take that says the C8 is a bigger deal than the Model 3 is a bad take.
