Good, fuck the italian government.

So much for the stereotype of EV owners being laid-back and friendly

Well it did, so bask your fame for being a Tool for buying a CyberTrashMobile from White Nationalist Motors. By the way, both Chevy & Ford make an electric pickup truck that can actually be used as a pickup truck...

The thing that gets me is the hypocrisy! Make up your mind! You’re mad when they break and you’re mad when they don’t brake!

Yeah, I don’t think accelerator pedals are supposed to get mechanically jammed wide open like that. Seems like something that should have been caught in QA before it went out the door.

That legendary Tesla build quality strikes again, yet Elon’s army will continue to lavish praises on him.

I hope Tesla faces the same degree of scrutiny from regulators as Toyota did. 

So much for the stereotype of EV owners being laid-back and friendly lol.

IMO it does not make sense to buy an EV if you are planning to rely on a charging network for anything outside of the occasional longer trip. If it is your commuter car, you’d better have a 40Amp+ charger in your garage or dedicated parking space. Anything else and you’re better off with a PHEV, HEV, or just regular

...Now imagine an elephant, charging at you with the speed of a cheetah

from the photo it looks like the cover slides forward and gets pinned under the gap where the lower dash/bulkhead meets the floor, holding the pedal down. Not sure how firmly it holds it/how hard it is to dislodge, but “any” is the wrong answer for a car driving in real world situations

I have never paid attention to the floor area on the drivers side, but that doesn’t look like a lot of room for people with large/wide feet or to wear boots and drive. 

I cannot get over the fact that a company that purports to be A Real Company With Real Products to Be Taken Really Seriously cannot be arsed to have a PR department, or any group responsible for answering media questions. The corporate equivalent of kids putting fingers in their ears so no bad news can be heard.

If only some other automakers had run into the same problem so that Tesla had a hint of how to avoid it.  But then again, that’s not dIsRuptIve.

Most shocking acceleration modes in Teslas you HAVE to try to believe;

Hey! I made it into Jalopnik. I’m “el.chepito1985". I knew it would get views when I posted it but didn’t it would accelerate me onto pages of Jalopnik.

Wow..this thing is such a dangerous pos. If we had any functioning regulatory agency with teeth Elon and other execs would be facing serious criminal and not just (possible) civil penalties.

No, you have it all wrong. This is Tesla’s new One Pedal Driving system. It's innovative as shit.

That, and weight- the CT weighs at least 1500lb more than an X.

That’s not fair, the Weiner Mobile might be the coolest vehicle ever made.
