Murdering your potential customers is an ineffective sales technique. Even my local KIA dealer stopped doing that.

Turn off the “Continue reading” button, It’s fucking annoying 

Well preserved but still just a late ’90s econobox that happens to be a convertible. ND.

80k just to get into the base model. ... man i am pretty sure i will be driving cars form the 90's and 00's until cars are fully deprecated as transportation.

prohibits the manufacturer from selling direct in these protected markets.

1st Gear: I view this as a roundabout way of saying “prices returning to pre-pandemic levels”

So, when the price of new EVs go down, the price of used EVs go down.

Honestly, the bizarre obsession with just bashing Tesla relentlessly is so over the top on this site it’s just weird. It just reeks of unhealthy insecurity, or some weird fixed ideology. Jalopnik needs to give it a rest, it really doesn’t look good for the site. It’s just fucking bizarre.

Yup. If this were about an ICE truck, it would be all roses for the truck.

Exactly. It’s as if half of the editorial writers at Jalopnik wandered over from Jezebel.

It actually is industry standard, at least in the USA. You can check the testing methodology from any major automotive magazine. I’ll link C&D and R&T:

This is one of the dumbest takes I’ve read on Jalopnik all year (and that’s saying a lot). The “extremely lopsided on paper” comment completely OMITS what was admitted in the very first paragraph: the Cybertruck is towing a copy of the car it’s racing!

Industry standard is deceptive? Or is it only when it applies to Tesla?

Vehicle that costs the same as a Porsche beats Porsche in drag race while towing another Porsche?

I mean, it’s impressive, if nothing else. All drag races are spectacle, really.

The inevitable comparison to Top Gear UK, while it was still on, just doomed them from the start. But I think that show was stronger than any of the Top Gear UK reboots. I really liked the USA version - thought they captured a lot of that zany chemistry surprisingly well. It was really entertaining. What doomed them…

How many hands do you have? Haha

But they were fireworks, illegal or not, they could have got like a big dumpster put them in it and filled it with water to render them safe for transport. I mean unless the fireworks contained something that reacts with water, but that’s unlikely since many compounds that react with water can combust just from…

True, but it seems that in this case there was no reason (other than impatience) to not dispose of the material in multiple detonations.

Don’t blame him, dummy! The dog was driving!
