Ugh asking for reader feedback then regurgitating it as a slideshow.

The Volt seems like a perfect commuter car for most of the population, but most of the population doesn’t even know it exists. GM fucked that one up hard.

Translation: Already wickedly expensive cars are going to become more wickedly expensive due to government regulations.

Yeah, it was awesome for the few people who could do it. Then again, Orlove would be simultaneously happy if fewer people could fly, for the environment, and mad that it was all rich people.

For context: a cross-country economy-class ticket before deregulation cost $1,600

I’m confused, shouldn’t Jalopnik editorial policy be in favor of flying being expensive and shitty so fewer people use it and less carbon is emitted?

“as shitty and expensive as they please.”

I find it funny, because Ford is probably going to be next to market with an EV truck, and quite soon.  And yet Ford has a market cap that is just over half of Rivians.  Like, a company is about to release a competitor to the only product that Rivian makes, in addition to offering a shit ton of other stuff, and they…

Yes totally it is just gambling and perception.  Rivian is worth more than companies that have been making cars for over 100 years. 

1st Gear: Once again, the stock market is just nonsense hand waving. It’s absolute gibberish to say Rivian, a company with no revenue or products, is worth nearly as much as Volkswagen, one of the most successful car companies in the world.

Well, no, no they’re not.  All slideshows suck.

Glad to see noted cold weather icons like the Camaro and Corvette will maintain their heated seats while bland CUVs that discerning collectors put away for the winter can rightly lose the option.

Twitter could be worse.

Other than employees and/or stockholders of the company, has Twitter really improved anyone’s life in any way?

Eat a fucking dick.

This is a dumb take. There aren’t many people better to offer insight into stopping someone from committing a crime than someone who has committed that crime and changed. 

So, we already don’t have vehicles capable of pulling over to the side of the road as Torch has stated MANY times.  Now we want cars to use a second set of technology that doesn’t exist to activate the first set of technology that also doesn’t exist using parameters that are arbitrary and without universal standards. …

I’m all for preventing drunk driving, but fuck this kind of invasive nanny state technology. Apparently I’ll be driving a lot more vintage cars in the future, because I flatly refuse to drive a car that might suddenly decide I’m too tired because of the always on cameras monitoring my every move.
