New cars are expensive, and water is wet. Further, I would argue that EVs are cheap. A Bolt (which for 99% of its life will be charged at home for pennies) will have a long life of not paying an annual fuel cost of a whopping $5k (according to JD Power). Considering its size, that may be a tad high.. If you drive the…

Don’t forget to add the CCS to NACS change for many big EV makers. Lots of people are confused about where they can charge today. I talked to a couple in a Genesis EV rental and talked them through charging on their trip to Napa. The different charge speeds and why they could not use a Tesla supercharger. Why it said…

It’s surely a good point when the sedan body style is disappearing in the US, yet Tesla Model 3 is selling like hot cakes

The article states that there is a 100-plus days supply of Hummer EVs. Do you think they just made that up? IMHO the Hummer EV is a bad bad joke, a finger in the eye of anyone who actually cares about the environment, and pointless since Teslas already made EVs cool. I totally admit that I want it to be true that no…

Tesla has the number 1 and number 3 most American built cars. If the intent is to get EVs on the road and support American jobs then there is no reason to limit their rebate.

I actually kinda hope Biden is just purposely trolling Tesla superfans at this point.

So we are using our tax dollars to directly support inept, corrupt, uncompetitive UAW-built vehicles? As they say, when you pay for something, you get more of it. And I have no interest. Yet another reason to side with Tesla.

I am a fan of unions in general. However, I am not a fan of the extra credit for a union-built vehicle. It should be $12.5 for any EV with defined capabilities (min range, etc.). There also shouldn’t be any income cap on who qualifies. If the goal is to get EVs on the road to mitigate a climate crisis, do that.

And then on top of that many of them think Tesla is sumthin from one of them forreinner cuntrys.

“They make those sci-fi coils, right?"

It has to look that way if they want to do the exoskeleton since doing rounded shapes wouldn’t be feasable with the steel they want to use. The size of the truck has decreased since initial unveiling, but don’t expect much more.

They really can’t won’t since they’ve taken over a million pre-orders from people expecting…

One reason the Cybertruck is shaped the way it is was to optimize aerodynamics, unlike a traditional pick up. I wouldn't count on it looking very different.

Hybrid makes no sense. Either go all EV or stay ICE. Look at the Honda CR-Z. Even with both the motors, it was less powerful and slower than the miata of the time, and considerably heavier. You’d think hybrid gets you “best of both worlds” but in a sense, its kind of “worst of both worlds”. Just make a nimble and…

Potentially unpopular take: Mazda should just skip the hybrid Miata and go full EV. An inherently complex hybrid powertrain is anathema to what the Miata stands for- lightweight simplicity.

Here’s an idea we can file a Jalopnik Patent on (royalties pay to everyone who replies!): instead of a frunk, we can have the NE’s convertible top fold into the *front* of the vehicle under the hood. That’ll be *perfect* solution...

You’re damn right.

Brave take. Electrification is the future. get used to it.

He over-leveraged his company in trying to make as many acquisitions as possible: Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Elmore, Oakland (predecessors of Pontiac), Reliance Motor Company, and the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company (predecessors of GMC). Durant even tried to buy Ford.

It seems like something that has become obsolete before it even got a chance.
