Well, in Telsa’s defense they didn’t have a PR department to release the info that they no longer have a PR department.

Had to scroll down a few pages (WHY CAN’T ALL THE COMMENTS OPEN WITH ONE CLICK??) to see this as I had intended to post same.

The whole “we’ve reached out to [blank] but have not received a comment” is pretty standard for...everywhere, though. It happened to me here. It happens to me elsewhere. I’ve seen it at other outlets as well. It’s a cover-your-butt statement of “yes, we did the right thing and reached out to get the other side’s

I’m not convinced the people complaining about the car *only* having 200 hp have the right idea and are just arm chair number warriors.* The Miata “only” has 181 HP and you don’t see people complaining about that. The old WRX’s “only” had 227 and no one complained about that. Hell, the old base Impreza had 173 and it’s

“Daddy, the top came off...”

Sorry, what?

RE performance:

I liked this line to open it up:

Best case scenario is someone who isn’t stupid buying their parents.

Which coast, the one with the earthquakes or the one with the hurricanes?

That is dangerous there.  You can’t tell which way a dazzle camo vehicle is going and we all know there won’t be turn signals on to give you a clue.

Nothing I’ve seen is helping this thing. Make the grilles smaller, and it spotlights how big the rest of the openings on the front are. Close them up as well and it’s still a monumentally busy front end with lines going every direction. Clean all those multidirectional lines up, and you’re right back to the previous

If any car’s deserving of dazzle camo, it’s this one.

You are probably not old enough.  I haven’t seen just the blade refills in auto-parts stores in probably 10-15 years.

You’re forgetting solar and wind are technologies, not fuels. Technologies just get cheaper and more efficient over time. Solar in particular has made ENORMOUS gains in efficiency, and of course we’re assuming they don’t use any other tech like tidal, slow-hydro, etc. Add in the new solar mandate and by 2035 you’ve

While half the state is burning, taking action to combat climate change is not a dumb move (however effective it will be).

Well, you may be right, but there are a lot of projects on the table for new California power plants, just waiting for them to be built. And not with state funds, but rather via normal investor money. So if the investment community sees potential for making money by building new electricity generating plants, they

People typically charge EVs overnight when electricity demand is very low. You can’t just turn off powerplants during low demand periods, so there’s typically a bunch of wasted power being generated overnight. Using that excess power to charge EVs would be a huge win in helping to balance the grid.

Meh, what do you expect? Change for the sake of change....
