The Starliner is not ‘stuck’ and the astronauts are not ‘stranded’

Southwest needs to be suspended. Sorry. Take them out of business and figure out what the fuck is going on.

And yet Tesla sales are still more than all of those OEMs combined.... so you’ll completely wrong about about everything you said. Come back whenever any of those OEMs actually have sales higher than Tesla.

This conversation is almost monthly on Jalopnik. Yes, Tesla’s market share is going to get smaller because the market is growing thanks to competition. 

NO MORE SLIDESHOWS!!!

Sort of going the opposite way due to federal tax laws, getting more American. After the news of this most American list broke, with the Model 3 pretty far down, they upped the American-ness of it and once again the mid-trim Model 3 Long Range qualifies for the US federal EV tax credit again (it hadn’t last year…

Curious what the list of bad things are, besides it being associated with that guy. As a driver of one for 6 years, most of the stuff people talk to me about they’ve heard is bad simply isn’t factual. (Like that there aren’t physical controls for the wipers: there are)

It seems like they actually did pretty well with the hardware. It was the software that was their downfall. Given their cash burn, they couldn’t afford to wait to ship cars until the software was fixed. But this only delayed the reckoning because it caused all of the initial reviews to be terrible. Now, despite one…

Per the manual: “Frequent use can damage the release cable or changing equipment.”

This whole take is ridiculous. If I wrote this, I’d be ashamed to put my name on it.

Isn’t 80" the threshold for those extra lights on the roof?

You’d like to think a guy with enough coin to buy a $100K truck would also be bright enough to find an apartment that has a big enough parking spot.

Exactly. the article states the cybertruck is ‘nearly 8 ft wide’, but that is for the mirrors. The Cyber truck is 80" wide (as in 6 2/3 ft wide) , 95" with mirrors.

Look I mean the cybertruck is big, but I suspect not bigger, or that much bigger than other full sized truck, so it’s likely that these parking spots are too small for any full sized truck.

You’ve got to stop letting AI write your headlines

Just a reminder that Ford did this with both the second and third generation GT, and Porsche does it with almost every new model. This is a pretty standard tactic to control prices and generate exclusivity. It’s shitty, sure, but it’s not exclusive to Tesla.

However, the chances of a steering shaft breaking are far, far, far, faaaaaaaarrrr less than the chances of a steer-by-wire system malfunctioning.

Has no one pointed out this:

Just a theoretical example: If it takes a driver 1 second to turn a traditional rack and pinion to full lock, what the fuck does lag matter on an electronic steering rack if it takes a driver 0.5s to get to full lock, plus 0.125s of lag. That would still be faster than a traditional system.

You can go lock-to-lock in a Cybertruck much faster than a conventional vehicle, which would make the lagginess even worse
