Keep it up, fuck the haters. You get paid to write for jalopnik and they don’t.

Yes, absolutely. Any car over $60K is overpriced, and the Hummer only exacerbates the issue of people thinking EVs are only for elites with lots of money. Europe and China get sub-$10K EVs, and our cheapest is over 30. It’s insane. 

Am I the one who is biased, or the people whose job it is to make sure they get invited to the next Ram launch?

Cars are politics, my dude.

Imagine thinking cars aren’t politics in 2020. Ram releasing a truck which achieves ten real-world miles per gallon is a political statement.

Underemployment is a factor in unemployment, MoparMap

A record number of Americans were behind on their car payments WAY before covid. Economic slump didn’t start with the virus. 

It’s literally my job, but did you miss the positive points? I feel like you missed the several paragraphs of praise that I heaped on this thing.

You certainly don’t have to, but a baja truck in the city is worse for everyone than a race car. And a race car can tap into its performance between lights and at on ramps, etc. I think the TRX is a riot, but there are just too many trucks everywhere in the city. At least a special edition is fun and hopefully garaged…

The majority of buyers will take this truck off-road probably once a year, if that. And it’s up to us all to mock them mercilessly for their silly purchase.

Model S Plaid and battery tech are in separate articles, thanks.

Are you new here or something?   This is like bread and butter to most of us.

It’s not a “depression” stop being melodramatic.

I’m a dual citizen. My mom is from Munich; she and my dad live near Nuremberg (my dad is a retired army soldier working on a base over there). The primary purpose of this trip, and any trip I take to Germany, is to spend time with them (though of course, I’m excited about this van trip, too).

Another liberals (“urbanists”) against freedom (“choice”) argument? Sorry I called out your dog whistle.

A quick google search about the destruction of dense neighborhoods to build highways in the 60s-80s will prove that building more roads is not the answer. Many cities across this country still haven’t recovered. A good city should have a large and accessible mass transit system. If you need a car, live in the suburbs…

I love cars and I enjoy driving, but sitting in traffic taking 40 minutes to get home from work isn’t driving.

The answer is absolutely not “build more roads.”

When you’re a grownup and you love something, you look at it—and yourself—honestly.

It’s a fantastic idea honestly. And in no way inconsistent with being a car guy. As far as I’m concerned I’d love to avoid having to use a car for most day to day errands - keeping driving as something fun - on the track, on road trips, for the occasional blast along a winding road by the ocean. Then we wouldn’t need…
