People are missing the big picture. Tesla is not an ordinary company. Musk missing his time targets likely won’t matter in the long run. He misses target dates all the time. Yet in the end he delivers, and what he delivers tends to be game-changing, particular for a “startup” company in the (electric) automotive…

So do all you gearheads really love the people who brought us 9/11? We still import 12 per cent of our oil from them, giving them more than one dollar out of every twelve, each time you fill up your gas tanks. I still appreciate the rumble of a great exhaust system, but isn’t it time to get past that and stop sending…

Well it depends on how far back you go. If you go look at his first comments when they outlined productions. I think it was in 2014, Musk claimed 500k production per year in 2020. So by those guidelines, they are actually ahead of their original guidance.

“It was the exact situation, only completely different”

This is every manufacturer of every product.

It is becoming a problem, isn’t it? I love reading things on this site, but it’s really taking a negative turn lately.

Speaking as a huge Jalopnik fan, the tone of this article is honestly unbecoming of this site. I enjoy a bit of snark, this just comes across as mean-spirited.

Huh... I thought “Let’s Randomly Insult Musk For Our Weekly Boners” was on Wednesdays.

If you look at a typical car interior objectively, they are very busy with lots of different shapes going on, and yet you still find the speedometer quickly, just like you can find the tiny battery meter on your crowded smartphone screen in nanoseconds and the Tesla speedometer will also become second nature after a…

That is the very old UI from the April 2016 unveiling. Here’s the current UI. Speed and battery are very easy to see.

Just want to point out that these are images from the prototype in 2016. The delivered version of the interface is much more clear. The entire left third of the screen is dedicated to speed and the car’s spatial awareness display.

The $5,000 package INCLUDES the tint. And also:

Or Z8!

I like it without one. Why distract yourself with nonsense? The navigation system has auditory alerts, and you can tell if you’re speeding by looking outside.

How is it different from the Saturn Ion, the Toyota Prius or Toyota Echo?

No, I don’t believe Doug’s was supervised. Andrew parsed words in his review, you just have to read carefully.

It has a 200kWh battery. The P100D has a 100kWh battery. Add to that the fact that the Roadster is probably built to be lighter (excluding batteries) and more aerodynamic, I can see how the range is almost doubled.

If this is real, like, REALLY REAL, this will be the hottest car in the history of cars.

“It has been said on this very website that big, dominating infotainment screens are terrible, ugly and a pain in the ass. They effectively block your view and the design is usually lazy: stuck on top of everything like an afterthought”

Oh, like the one in the Miata

The Model 3 has a wiper stalk.
