I am strangely on the side with Tesla on this one. If they seperated in 2018 why is the husband still on the title of the car? the ownership of the vehicle should have been settled in the divorce.  Divorce court could have the husband’s name taken off the title if the wife was entitled to ownership of the car or they…

My BS alarms went off as I read the article. If it was an issue, the vehicle should have been sold and money split. Or she could have stopped driving it altogether.

Exactly. It’s not Tesla’s place to change the car title or remove ownership. Until the court says otherwise, it’s still partly his car. We don’t want companies just changing the terms of ownership just because someone says so.

Would that really have helped that much? Since he was a legal co-owner, he still would have been able to do anything he wanted, including track its current location. 

Only reason why Altima drivers aren’t on that list is because they don’t have insurance. Tesla drivers are essentially Altima drivers with arguably ‘nicer’ cars, that can afford to insure their vehicles. And Ram drivers being #2 for accidents and the coveted #1 spot for ‘incidents’ come at no surprise to anyone.

Guessing the Ram drivers tend to have DUI incidents and the Teslas have more speeding tickets. 

But, he said, “there don’t appear to be any answers or fixes relating to the system’s repeated failures to detect and respond to emergency personnel and other related hazards.”

Probably ambiguous because it’s confusing. I work as an analyst for an OEM, and tons of people who should be “in the know” on such things are confused about which vehicle will qualify for how much of the credit. 

A spokesperson for NHTSA said the probe found Tesla’s means for keeping drivers engaged were “inadequate.”

Journalism? Here? ROFL! 

“What might help in situations like this is workers coming together to support one another through collective bargaining.”

They don’t test everything, due to limited budget and time they only test volume sellers unless the manufacturer pays to have them tested. Walk into any luxury car dealer and you’ll see all kinds of cars without star ratings on the stickers.

The battery is not just energy storage, it’s the power delivery source. It’s why a long range (large battery) comes with a lot of power—the larger pack can discharge more power at a time safely. The motor just converts it into rotational work. A small motor will hamstring a big battery by limiting its work potential…

To be fair, it was their first car designed from scratch, and probably their first motors designed from scratch. This was an early adopter product only a few years after this brand new car company barely survived The Great Recession and running on a completely new technology stack for the industry.

Not mentioned in this article but previously reported by Jalopnik in 2022 (https://jalopnik.com/one-tesla-model-s-has-gone-nearly-1-million-miles-and-n-1848362945),

How is this an “extra $120k”?

Very much in support of this.

This is one of the dumbest takes I’ve read on Jalopnik all year (and that’s saying a lot). The “extremely lopsided on paper” comment completely OMITS what was admitted in the very first paragraph: the Cybertruck is towing a copy of the car it’s racing!

I have no idea what is more obnoxious and nauseating these days:

From the perspective of most drivers, you could just say:
