How about we appreciate the cars for what they are, and leave your personal feelings about others’ political views out of it.  So sick of this site’s politics on their sleeves...

Agreed. When they say that Model Y sales went up 95% (aka doubled), yet the tone of the headline is that Tesla is a failure, is just the ridiculous anti-Tesla rhetoric this site has become known for.

The fact they say the others are catching up when they sold 30k of a model and Tesla is selling 300k of a single model. That’s not catching up. 

At $38,990, the base Model 3 sedan now costs $8,700 less than the average amount paid for a car or truck in the US.

It’s a wheel cover.  They’ve been falling off of cars for decades.  Now it’s news-worthy?

You guys are going full force wanting to tank this tesla.

“She got to experience the realities of owning an EV in the U.S. firsthand.”

Perhaps it would’ve been eye opening for the Secretary to then take the same road trip back the other way in a Tesla with zero pre-planning aside from which hotels to sleep at. The ease of use and reliability of the Supercharger Network is the gold standard of what all EV charging networks should home to be, and…

Read the article. the keys got locked in broh. Likely it was an honest mistake.

This was not a case of caretakers forgetting a baby in a hot car. From the article:

The switch to Tesla’s standard stateside is at odds with how things work in the European Union and much of the rest of the world. There, Tesla fits its cars with the CCS port, just like almost every other EV maker out there.

I hate Apple but they still control the market narrative for what’s important in phones and personal computers. Shit they even convinced people to this day that their boneheaded “bump” hardware design was somehow a benefit instead of a compromise to create a solution no one asked for, and other companies started…

Wouldn’t the Rimac Nevera be the first 8 second production car in history? It does the 1/4 in 8.5 and was first delivered to customers in August. Obviously a very different price bracket and experience though. 

The new 4680 battery from Tesla is shipping in one version of the Model Y already and has been for months. 4680 refers to the size of the cell and not necessarily the chemistry. They may be working to improve the chemistry but that’s something they are always working with companies to accomplish. 

An easier solution would be to just lock up the key box.

Such a professional job without a plan of what to do with the cars afterwards

“And while ass-covering corporate disclaimers are a standard part of any company’s public announcements, when it comes to Tesla and its extremely loose relationship with its own deadlines, a statement this thorough carries extra meaning.”

I mean you can go look at your stock price yourself, it’s a company that’s stagnated, and idea generation is the way around it. I’m not saying it will work, but there’s a pretty obvious data point out there. 

I thought it was Jalopnik’s job to shit on Tesla?
