We need an open architecture car where people have full control over the software they run. I don’t want features removed by NHTSA.

Can always count on Jalopnik to present a fair and unbiased view on any politically tinged subject. I can only assume these editorials are written with intended bias, to encourage more clicks from both sides. The persistent political bias is the primary reason I don’t visit Jalopnik very often anymore.

What do you think is going to happen to the price of food when you increase the average employer’s largest expense?

I am work at a truck OEM in the engine and aftertreatment development group. Not sure what you mean by the first change in 20 years for emissions? We have been through several major emissions changes including 2007, 2010, 2013, 2017, 2021, and are ramping towards 2024 with the split of EPA and CARB/Omnibus. There has

So, this is a feel good news story

I think that’s the underpinning of the design. No body panels and no paint shop=cheaper to produce. Assuming they can make it work, it’s certainly innovative even if not everyone’s cup of tea from a design perspective (I personally don’t care for it but I do appreciate them trying something different). I think the

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the main purpose of Tesla trying folded steel body panels was to avoid the insanely high cost of stamping presses and tooling.

Yeah I know. It’s like a lot of people here have jobs tied to big oil, legacy car companies or dealerships and thus, feel threatened by Tesla and love to hate them for that reason.

Tesla haters gonna hate. Meanwhile if you want a laugh, check out how much debt Toyota has compared to Tesla. There's a lot more to this than just profit per vehicle. Servicing hundreds of millions in debt is crippling the old automakers. 

Lol.  Tesla killed it in earnings and this is what Jalopnik posts.  

This is a re-release of the same bs study that they guys keep pushing. You need to work on your journalism skills.

Yeah this garbage has been spread arond for a while. You should delete this and apologize for spreading bs.

Sounds like she could be jalopnik writer of the month lol

Hahahaha people are still posting shit like this? Next article should be; vehicles equipped with airbags and seatbelts strangle and kill more people than vehicles without. Repost some articles from 1970. Has about the same amount of truth as this crap. 

I averaged .26 kWh/mi today in a Model 3. That’s 26kWh for 100 miles. I buy my kWh for $.11 at home, so that’s $2.86 for 100 miles. Gas is $3.25/gallon here soooo..

Is this Facebook where grandpa is spouting whatever BS some random Fox News talking head told him to think? JFC I expect a bit more from a site dealing with cars.
