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

This is hilarious and made my Monday. The level of FOMO people have that requires they buy one of these garbage truck is astounding. The fact that they are actually not built well is like the icing on the cake. Keep the hits coming Tesla! Your consistent inconsistency in build quality is very entertaining.

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

Color me shocked that the spatula I use for cooking fish isn’t a great gas pedal design. 

New feature for the Stainless Steel Aztec unlocked: Full Self-Acceleration Mode!

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.

Look, my only real question here is: since we’re two months out from the 30th anniversary of the murders and most of that rigamoral, do we have to revisit it all again in June? 

Oh please do! I did a two hour video based on the book years ago and its got nothing on the book.

I'm going to have to track down a copy of The Five. Thanks for the tip!

I dont think I have the time for a 17 hour podcast, but putting an emphasis on the victim is a great idea.  It reminds me of Hallie Rubenholds book The Five about the victims of Jack the Ripper.  Absolutely incredible book and so empathetic to the women.  If this is even half as good as The Five then I'd probably…

Yeah, I commented on the larger thread above, but I listened during the Amber Heard trial. It’s not shocking, but still disparaging to see the similarities and that nobody believes a woman of DV until she is dead (and even then the system might fail you like with Nicole).

This is one of my favorite podcasts and the OJ episodes are really good.

Then don’t listen to it. No one is forcing you to. That said, it is one of the most excellent podcasts out there.

“You get two, there can be only one.”

love that it’s gonna be like 5 years before we get closure on that cliffhanger ending.
