I mean, that has been the plan for every other media property he has owned, so yes, I imagine that’s the plan here.

The new recruits here lately have been confusing stunning engineering with the rich people who own them, and that their job should be to cover the vehicle first. Almost everyone who reads Jalopnik already thinks Bezos is a scumbag, piling on is just annoying. Spanfeller’s plan for G/O seems to be to turn it into a…

That’s why I kind of roll my eyes when people claim Tesla doesn’t test their software enough, while traditional automakers are “fully tested”, when the reality is there is plenty of software used by automakers that run into issues when used in the real world (it just isn’t as widely reported). VW ran into similar…

“I guess they must be Tesla stans for reporting that the Megapack increased grid reliability and kept costs down for customers”

I mean, the giant grid scale Tesla battery in Australia is HUGELY successful, but, we’re going to ignore that because why?

1st: While Tesla deserves some skepticism as long as the CEO is a Twitter troll instead of an adult, in this particular case they’re not doing anything terribly wild. The utility industry is interested in batteries to replace “peaker” plants, which are powered by natural gas and only fire up in times of high demand,…

Over the past 40 or so years, our country has deferred maintenance on the road system because taxes bad, gas must be cheap and freedom. We’ve also systematically cut almost all the strings to our safety nets, deregulated everything we could get away with and what we’ve ended up with is a world where honestly, Trucks…

Definitely a face that only a congressman taking defense contractor kickbacks could love.

So much for the EV fleet that would save so much money over the next decade+. Yes, I read the part that said some would be EVs, but what %? This will be a major fail if its not a significant number. Am I reading this right? They’re planning on removing ICEs and converting more to EVs down the road or just updating EV…

It was a poorly executed nod to the original concept, which had a greenhouse that could never make it to production in a million years.

This is the correct answer.  It isn’t that its the worst car overall; its that it is the car that least lives up to its announcement.  Had it not been a Mustang, it wouldn’t be the answer.

But...it is just marketing. And the car itself looks about as good as a crossover can, while also being the first EV to compete with Tesla on the elusive trifecta of range, performance, and price.
