Yes, Faraday Future paid for this article in which Andrew says of Faraday Future, “it was hard for me not to feel like I was less in a presentation by a major automotive force to be reckoned with and more in an episode of Silicon Valley.”

LOL.

“The startup, flush with cash from the billionaire behind China’s version of Netflix, would like you to know that they have an Amazing Team, a Transformative Vision, Incredible Alliances, and They Are Very Fast.” So basically the Donald Trump of car companies?

This is why whenever I need to get some food, I just go to the supermarket and hang out by the checkout. I get to be in close proximity to people who have food, which is the same as having it, yourself.

Don’t forget the Tesla Model S P85D!

That’s because Audi wants to to look fast while sitting still... you know, while your waiting for a tow truck

Because it’s so much worse than when an ICE car’s gas tank explodes. I swear, it’s a running theme every time there’s a Tesla post: someone makes a vague, underhanded your-uncle-on-Facebook kind of comment that somehow batteries make these cars more “dangerous” in some way. Come on: “cut loose?” You make lithium-ion…

Model S owner here. Whenever people ask about my car I try to downplay how enthusiastic I am about having it, but it always snowballs into how awesome the Model S is.

“It looks like a Mazda AMG 5 series ” STOP RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE EVERY OTHER FULL SIZE SEDAN ON THE DAMN ROAD. TAKE A SLEEPING PILL AND GO TO SLEEP, WE GET IT. GOOD. GREAT NOW SCREW OFF.
