I won’t stop watching his channel, though I do kinda figure it does count as a strike against his professionalism. The insurance companies are as much his customers as are the people who manage to bury their big ol’ 4x4 up to the frame on a muddy road. It does seem like this might have been an instance of the guy…

Tesla can get fucked as far as I’m concerned but if anyone thinks they can work for a company then post what the company considers negative PR freely to the public, then they’ve lost the plot.

“once we get more economies of scale on battery tech and EVs become more affordable, it’ll be a viable solution for a huge subset of people”

That’s my point. We aren’t there yet. For some it works, for a lot it doesn’t (yet). We also need to add way more fast charging stations across the US and need a charging standard…

That’s great if you live in an area where fast charging stations are plentiful for the entire trip. If you have to use a low voltage/slow charger, might as well plan on having to spend the night (and these areas do not typically coincide with places people want to be stuck at for 10-12 hours without a vehicle).
I…

If we’re talking basic economics, the higher upfront cost has to be included. Lasting longer is debatable so far. Those degrading batteries make the range/charging issue worse over time and replacing the battery is at least as expensive (if not way more) as replacing the engine in an internal combustion vehicle. Less…

So I’ve heard. Also, batteries don’t degrade and they’re not affected by temperature.

If people want to spend thousands a year on rentals, leave their EV on a shady rental lot for their weekend getaways or week-long vacations, and transfer their kid’s seats back and forth between their EV and Rental 5x a year then that’s great, power to them. I’d love to have an EV (I love acceleration and they are the…

You’re not getting a full charge in 30 minutes though, you’re getting a partial charge. I’d love to have an EV but until the charging speed gets better, it won’t work for me (if it works for others, that’s great). 

Nobody ever drives over 250 miles per day, haven’t you heard? 

You must be fun at parties. It’s all about you, isn’t it?

I’ve just subscribed, and listened to Joe Rogan for the first time.  I like what I heard.

As you can see here, the Fuel Pacer system was, essentially, just a switch that detected engine vacuum levels. When they reached a certain point, caused by the fuel-air mixture becoming richer due to the driver pressing the accelerator pedal more, that switch would activate the driver’s side turn indicator tell-tale…

I see the varied cut line running about the flare now. It had literally never caught my eye before. Thought it was the same fender with flares and a repositioned plastic clad “vent”.

The pack was brand new when the vehicle was built? What vehicle? The 2021 Model 3 that’s being sold with the pack, or another one that could be as old as one from 2017? I can’t quite make sense of this.

You know what I don’t see from anyone’s posts?

Nobody has said those cops on the scene did a poor job. Nobody has posted that. Many folks want to bash cops for being awful (all cops by the way). But these cops seemed to do a good job sorting through a bad situation, which has now taken an awful turn. The cops didn’t…

This is the 2021 version of replying “First” to an article.

Having revisited this thread, I think you may have embarrassed yourself more thoroughly than anyone else in the history of Jalopnik.

He’s either a troll or a shithead.

Running a 100 meter dash really easy. Nearly everyone can do it. Doing it better than everyone else is quite challenging. 

He was right to think that Tesla is overvalued. He was wrong to think that it mattered.
