It's full of the usual anti-Tesla cherrypicking, sarcastic one-liners, fumbling for clickbait headlines that zombie gawker Jalopnik has to use every day to eke out any engagement possible.
Clearly you are unfamiliar with Jalopnik. All of their posts are full of cherry-picking, sarcastic one-liners, and clickbait headlines.
They don't single out Tesla for special treatment (good or bad), nor should they.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoGo ahead, go through the last two weeks of headlines and show me three headlines about GM, Ford, Toyota, FCA, etc that are as negative as the typical Tesla headline. The mainline auto makers get kid gloves compared to Tesla. But then again, auto press always knows who pays for the buffets and junkets. I've been on jalopnik for what seems like a decade now, through the Univision years and the PE Spanfeller years, and the death of deadspin.
- messick 6y agoHow many roofs of cars from those manufactures were torn off during the drive home from the dealer?
- iqihs 6y agoAre you seriously implying that Tesla is the only major manufacturer that experiences defects/recalls...
- athms 6y agoTesla is selling new cars with holes in the body panels, scuffed body panels, misaligned body panels, different shades of paint on body panels, dirty interiors, materials in the drive train that corrode within months, etc... These problems are well documented. Tesla makes luxury vehicles, they are not competing with Yugo or Fiat. For that kind of money one should expect better quality.
- gamblor956 6y agoDon't need to go back 2 weeks to find negative posts about other automakers. The top article on Jalopnik right now: "The Mercedes G-Wagen Is Objectively Impressive But Still A Dumb Car" The next article: "Jaguar XE And XF Sportbrake Wagon: Dead" Followed by "Mercedes-Benz Gives Up On Manuals" Meanwhile, after a Tesla suffered catastrophic structural failure that could have killed or maimed someone, the title of the related article is simply: " Brand-New Tesla Model Y's Roof Flies Off on First Drive Home."
- wcarron 6y agoThat's BS. I read jalopnik regularly for brainless amusement and car news. You're perceived slant against tesla is baseless. They regularly shit on H-D for their idiotic product decisions, chevy and BMW for their idiotic truck/M car grilles, nikola for fraud lately, tons of other cars/manufacturers, and yes, they shit on tesla for poor QA practices, dickish moves on resold cars, and being run by a petulant egomaniacal manchild. What's the deal with tesla fans? Sure, every brand has fanatics and haters, but tesla fans are special. They froth at the mouth like an attack dog. Any single miniscule criticism of tesla is treated like you'd pisssed on the dinner table. They're like some hybrid of a 12-year old who thinks the supra has 1000 horsepower stock, and a basement dweller who thinks the Oculus is the pinnacle of technology. Seriously, what's in the kool-aid and why has no one called the FDA about it?
- lttlrck 6y agoFanaticism is proportional to the fear of being proved wrong. Consciously or subconsciously.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoJalopnik rips on Tesla every single day. Every single day. On Jalopnik today, Wednesday October 7, 9:30 pm: 3 Tesla - roof flies off! They're ignoring me! Tesla alleges sabotage! One BMW - NEW $40000 motorcycle! 0 GM 0 Toyota 1 Ford - Mach-E $3000 cheaper!
