Bradley was like this on his first stint with the site. People will point out some issue on his reporting, point out his obvious bias, or argument on his opinions and he responds in short little bursts of patronizing dialogue.

Before buying our first Tesla in February, we had four BMWs and they did the same thing with paint colors. One of the Bimmers offered a backup camera as part of a $2800 option package. The other car manuafacturers have been doing this loading up options for quite a while.

He does have a really shitty attitude. I was really put off by his comments when people rightfully called out his recent max ver stappen article as clickbait.

yeah, I thought Porsche has a long history of free color option, upgraded color option, and paint to sample. Each going higher in cost. The upgraded color options always seem to be the cycled depending on the model (e.g., ultraviolet may be one of the upgraded options one year, and shark blue the next) I always…

Porsche was notorious for this sort of thing even before Tesla existed. 

Quite a few manufacturers have been doing this for a while. Working in sales back in 2013/14 I remember our dealership selling a viper with matte black that cost an extra $20k from the factory. Most of the Chrysler products at that time had a few base colors and the rest were $300 - $1,000. I’m sure other…

Which Jeep is a Jeep that nobody buys? I can’t drive for 5 minutes without seeing wrangler, cherokees, renegades, grand cherokees, and wagoneers everywhere.

This actually looks more like a WK2 successor to me than the current generation Grand Cherokee, but the Wagoneer name is definitely there so they can charge a premium.

Too bad Glad the gators didn’t get her when she did her Peter Pan off the ledge.

Regardless of the specific need for this thing, it’s a terrible move to simply brick something like this rather than opening it up for the community who did buy it to repurpose the device, especially since Spotify still exist as a company. (e.g. I can imagine that if they had gone bankrupt that there may not be…

Part of the reason people do not buy manual is because they are being dis-incentivized to.

Seems weird but automatics already shift better and faster than manuals and some of us still buy manuals and will accept no substitutes.

I remember CR critiquing the Miata for its lack of trunk space

I get your point, and I get CR’s point. But I wish CR’s statements were at least a bit more relative. The Wrangler’s ride, interior sound and fuel economy should all be compared to the closest competitors: Bronco and 4Runner. Sure, if they want to say stuff like, “These class of vehicle is going to have way worse ride…

Consumer Respondents: “I bought a Jeep Wrangler but it had a stiff ride, loud interior, and poor fuel economy”. Uhh Duh!  I’m curious to see their other reviews, “I bought some hiking boots but I found them really heavy and stiff when running a marathon... 1-Star”

Assist in opening the emergency door. Where has it ever said you’re responsible for saving anyone or anything when assigned an exit row seat? And if Window Wendy can’t figure it out within a few milliseconds during an emergency, I’m stepping over her to get that door opened.

Notice the flight attendant was also black.

As she was unwilling to help others off of the plane, others decided to help her off the plane.

Some people are just dumb. Sure, I’m gonna leave you all to burn, but I’m not gonna admit that upfront. That’s called depraved indifference murder, I’m gonna agree then bail when the going gets tough so my lawyer can claim that panic overtook me and I should get no jail time for it.

Especially a cop that isn’t even doing their job of hall monitoring.
