Yeah for more rubber. Plus this car weighs a ton several tons.

Those base wheels are ugly, but they do help with the range. I think they are the stock 19s, the smallest wheels you can get on a Taycan.

Looks like the factory snow package which I was helping a friend get. 

I was looking at the electric Mini and they did the same thing - weird wheels.
Still, that’s progress from when everybody made the entire EV look weird on principle.

This is like reading about someone forgoing fire insurance to save a few bucks and them expecting sympathy when their house burns down. The lady gambled and now her estate is probably shredded paying off the bill, so that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Me, reading first part of article: Wow, this is really messed up.

Unless it was a really, really good one.

I will probably get roasted for this, but every time I see “fibromyalgia” I get a bad feeling. I knew some folks that used this to get disability payments since it is very hard to diagnosis (or at least it was). Add to that, I work with two people that are on Military disability with no real known issues and I don’t…

I actually just read about this, early today. I think two things were involved here, neither of which were mentioned in this article:

4k miles for 45K same color

Personally I’m a skeptic of the self driving projects but I think its a little premature to hint this was due to local animosity towards Waymo. From the description of the event it comes across more like general rioting. 

No harm but, We all know that Jalopnik comment sections are a Tsunami of pedantry.

What a shitstain of an article. Lots of claims and supposition, but no real knowledge or insights. Jalopnik, we all know that you leverage valuable Tesla and EV terms for clickbaitey articles, but it’s become a sad joke. Do better.  

Total Cost of Ownership is more important than sticker price. In six years, this Polestar will be worth $10k or less, while the Accord hybrid will still be fetching high 20s. And the Accord will still be on the road in 2050, if you keep up with maintenance. Parts for the Polestar will be completely gone by 2035.

FTFY

headlines gonna headline

This math isn’t mathing.

This is BS. His take home was more like $40k. The mileage deduction is intended to cover his vehicle maintenance, fuel, car depreciation, etc. It shouldn’t be counted twice. Plus, his car was likely near worthless with well over 300k miles at the start of last year, so the depreciation is inflated.

I think I’d rather have 18's instead, with some sidewalls
