For reference, neither Subaru, Tesla, Honda, Hyundai nor Kia make any 4WD vehicles.

I’ve got a 2023 Model Y and used that FSD trial period (in April) to drive from New Hampshire to Florida and back (the way back was all in a single session minus charging stops), and I thought it was great. I didn’t notice really anything different about that vision-only system versus my 2018 Model 3 that has the…

There is a difference though between reporting on Tesla and reporting on Elon Musk. One is a publicly traded automotive company extremely relevant to an automotive news source. The other is a loud-mouthed person more relevant to whatever site has replaced Jezebel. I agree that Elon has plenty that can be reported on…

Not talking about drivetrain voltage. We’re talking about low voltage electronics systems, like the one where everybody else uses a 12v car battery for the radio, headlights, power seats, etc.

Would it really have been approved for street use by the US government if it didn’t have crumple zones and the necessary level of safety? The steering and other essential controls have double (or I think in some case triple) redundancies. With is more than an ordinary vehicle that does not have any redundancies.…

Are you exclusively referring to the mild hybrid system being 48v? That’s not what we’re talking about with Cybertruck at all. This isn’t a powertrain related thing.

It seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy that they hate when Elon is in the news, but they themselves are the ones who keep putting him in the news. Don’t want people talking about Elon? Just stop talking about him and let him fade out of the automotive news cycle.

Autopilot is included for free with every Tesla since approximately 2019. That includes the $35,000 Teslas.

As someone who has been on this very website for well over a decade, I’m indeed very well aware how deep the anti-Tesla biased reporting has descended to, often citing blatantly factually incorrect material. I would be curious of one point, if you had one to give. I’ve watched a few partial teardowns of the Cybertruck…

So, like most other cars? I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car that didn’t have any recalls. I would be skeptical if you think yours didn’t.

I drove a Polestar 2 for a week recently and was surprised there hasn’t been some sort of recall over their current lane assist tech. I was expecting it to be similar to Tesla’s Basic Autopilot on the highway, but it would randomly just go wide over the lane lines and/or randomly turn off without any sort of auditory…

Besides one’s subjective opinion on the styling, what exactly makes it the worst engineered vehicle on sale?

The charging issue is more or less solved. Pretty much all (or all?) manufacturers have committed to switching to the Tesla connector (“NACS”) by 2024/2025. And if you take a look around at the charging network, you’d be shocked how large it actually is. The big difference is that they don’t have big signs along the…

While encryption and digital certificates would certainly be a problem, domain names and hard coded addresses would not, since that stuff can be super easily hijacked at the router. At my office we have entire .com domains that point to a different thing if you visit them while in the office versus if you’re not at…

Pontiac G8, but as a Tesla Model S / BMW i5 competitor

I’m just in New Hampshire, and that’s about average for non-management employees in their mid 30s at my company, and I know my employer pays less than some of our nearby competitors. Of course this is pre-tax pay, the feds take away quite a lot of that (but no income tax or sales tax here).

Ford’s is also right by the edge of the door pillar so I think the same issue could still present if the driver door was closed and the passenger door was open, while the driver was reaching for the button, even though it has a little nub to grab onto.

keep the scam running for two years. Barbosa estimates she took in nearly $1.4 million during that time.

The Jalopnik authors couldn’t be bothered to post a screenshot from the manual or anything, so here it is.

On par with a Ford F-150
