1st gear: What would you all rather have? A fast ramp that causes consumers to have to deal with the defects (which Ford, GM and Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis has been guilty of many times over the years) or a slow ramp so that the vehicles that most end up actually buying have few to no issues?

The NADA’s aversion to EVs isn’t really about EVs per-se. There are three key issues:

“The plaintiff should be able to argue to a jury that Tesla did not provide sufficient warning that Autopilot and Full-Self Driving require driver attention to take over in case of an emergency situation.”

Yeah, imagine how many shit overly heavy, thirsty crappy ass hybrids with double power trains and even more failure points you could make, instead of switching over to clean electric-only vehicles.

There will be more as more confused gas drivers make the transition to EV, but that will all go away as one-pedal driving becomes the norm. Because in that situation nobody “panics” thinking they have to press harder on the pedal they are currently pressing in order to slow down. They instinctively slow down by…

Hit the wrong pedal and panicked

Can we please acknowledge the fact that if this had been a Tesla, or any other EV, we would NOT have been talking about the damn overpriced tumbler keeping the drink cold. Headline would have been more like “Yet another EV catches fire”. This is another reminder that ICE vehicles are more prone to catching fires than…

If you bought any car between 2021 and 2022, you lost shitton of money as is. The time when the markup was insane since everyone suddenly needed a car, a lot of values plummeted.

Uh oh, you must be a Tesla shill or mentally ill! According to this site, you can’t say anything about Tesla unless you mention the fact that Musk is a sociopath and the company is a Ponzi scheme selling lies!

I keep hearing people say that the lineup is aging, yet the refresh cycle is 6 years, which is on par with other manufacturers.

I bet it’s pretty much the opposite of that. It might go the way of the Model S/X, where sales hold great until the market gets saturated. The draw of this isn’t that it’s a truck (so it probably won’t pull in a lot of F-150 buyers), but that it’s ridiculously quirky and futuristic, the way people 30 years ago…

Look, I’m not a Tesla Stan but:

Eh, Farley’s been kinda vocal about wanting to do direct sales/move away from dealerships, so that’s bound to rub dealers the wrong way.  

This article really sums up this site these days: clickbait headlines, garbage articles that are purely speculative. Nothing better than a blog site that covers random videos on the internet. Can you at least wait until we get a look at production version of these before you start pumping out the anti-Tesla headlines? 

The classic “I don’t know what happened” when someone getting into their elderly years mistakes the gas for the brake and just mashes it to the floor

So what you’re saying is that it got you from A to B quickly and drama-free, and this is a horrible bad thing, and somehow doesn’t make it count as infrastructure? The cost of construction was a huge cost savings over expensive traditional infrastructure, less congested than surface traffic, and much quicker than…

I think that $56 million for 19 miles of underground transportation is a smokin’ deal. I mean, the 1.7 mile San Francisco Central Subway MUNI extension cost $2 fucking billion. Using passenger cars instead of trains, or at least vans or something, was monumentally stupid. Then again, pretty much anything is better…

I’ve never been to Vegas when the LVCC existed, but $53M for a dedicated tunnel from the airport to the convention center seems like a good deal to me, assuming it’s utilized well. They’re paying $40M to just do repaving and improvements to roads for the F1 Circuit around Las Vegas Boulevard — this is an entirely new…

The only thing more annoying than a Tesla-stan is an anti-Tesla-stan who feels the need to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

I was just in SF over the weekend after moving away two years ago. I spent the entire day there in the touristy areas and saw absolutely no broken windows, no glass on the ground, no suitcases laying around with their contents strewn about, and felt no threat.
