People with EVs are different. I list my charger on plug share and have had several people charge at my house.

That is why Tesla wins. It boggles my mind that no other manufacture has struck up a deal with Tesla to invest in their network and allow their EVs to use the super chargers. They have already opened up the patents. Can you imagine how popular Leafs and Bolts could be?

I completely agree with you. My first car was a 92 2-door blazer. Mine had been owned by Ozzy Smith of the St. Louis Cardinals fame.  Good memories.

“That isn’t particularly big but it is notable because for years Tesla’s line about its prices was that it doesn’t negotiate. The car costs what it costs, because obviously Teslas are worth every penny, or some such.”

Um, this hasn’t changed.  Tesla has lowered the base cost of all cars.  You don’t have to negotiate

Super high end scale models are awesome. I’ll never afford one but can certainly appreciate skill and talent. https://modelworksdirect.com/

Good for them. Its nice to see a city fighting for jobs instead of pulling an AOC and kicking a big company out (Amazon).

I don’t even think it needs to raise up.  Just mount the plug at ground level with a lid that opens via app.  Move it closer to the curb to prevent a tripping hazard when someone is using it.  Kind of like floor outlets in a home.

I also don’t see pot shops, liquor stores, and a whole lot of other businesses that have been running full tilt. The lock down was totally arbitrary and made no sense. That’s why people are rebelling against it.

Jalopnik and the trolls: Elon Musk will kill us all by forcing us to play games while we drive. Autopilot sucks. Who the hell does he thing he is?!

Normal people: Big whoop. He will probably hide some pokemons at the chargers and add minecraft to the list of things available while parked that I’ll try once and never

But those other companies were stupid and don’t have EVs and do have to buy credits. Positioning your company to be able to sell them is a completely valid and smart business move.  Could the gov change the requirements?  Sure but as others have said, IF it happened, it would be slow and Tesla would be able to adapt

I think of the Tesla “savings discount” like other manufactures when they advertise cars for a specific payments. You have to take that with a grain of salt because it always depends on your credit and options etc. Here, they are telling you to think about the cost of the gas you will save. Well, obviously, when gas

Because you hate Tesla, you missed an opportunity to write an interesting automotive article on how traditional off roaders use snorkels and how electric off roaders will have different challenges to solve etc. But you didn’t.

It seems like there are two issues here about Tesla. First, hospitals are waiting on delivery. There could be many reasons for delay. It could be on Tesla’s side but it could also be a large number of external factors.

Second, there is debate over the effectiveness of his device (is it a real ventilator or not). If

And if Fords $500 gas cards had an expiration date on them that drivers failed to notice would you blame Ford or the driver?

This is hardly a thing at all and it was easily sorted out by adding a different credit card. The same thing could happen if you were driving a gas car and your card was cancelled for fraud (if

I think Jalopnik kind of cherry picked his comments about the Model 3 (no surprise). He said those things but at the end of his review of the Model 3, said it was years ahead of the competition and incredibly profitable. It great to see Tesla is continuing to improve things in some clever ways. It appears the Y will

It’s because you have a poor world view. You see the negatives in everything. You hate corporations and think everyone that has more than you is evil. You can’t fathom that someone might help someone else for free because it makes them happy. Sad.

You lost me at $101k Jeep.

Another car or another wife?

Because this is a Gawker site.

That is the thing. AP didn’t CAUSE any crashes. People don’t have their hands on the steering wheel driving down the road when suddenly, AP rips the wheel from the hands and steers them into a ditch. PEOPLE are cause their own accidents because THEY don’t pay attention when every single one of them knows that they
