American cars aren’t good, everybody knows that.
As an American I was a bit upset and ready to retort to your comment. I then realized none of my cars are even American and you are probably right.
Technically if you bought a Toyota pickup truck it’s more American than some American named cars.
Just buy something German or Japanese
I think all my cars are Japanese except the 2003 wrangler I have… not sure who owns Jeep these days
Some megacorp called Stellantis as of 2021.
That’s an unholy merge of:
Fiat.
They often have R&D in the US, and often US assembly now. Toyota, Subaru, etc. may actually be more American than a Canadian-, Mexican-, or Chinese-assembled GM car, hilariously.
watch out though. I only learned after I bought it that some Honda Civics are manufactured in the UK 🤢
I did not know that
Teslas go above and beyond – and the Cybertruck takes it to another level past that …
I have 2000 Saturn with 220,000 on it. It has been amazingly solid and low TCO.
Of course, they don’t make them anymore, so your point stands. They don’t make them like they used to.
i miss my saturn 💔
How many quarts of oil a week you dumping in? That being said, they were simple to work on and maintain. Got good at field-stripping the EGR valve when it got sludge up so I didn’t have to replace it.
It’s not too bad on the oil around town. That said, if I run it 500 miles on the freeway, I might need to put a quart in. 😅 And yeah on the EGR.
Wasn’t it the break pedal?
gas pedal – it was friction fit and would slide off and get jammed into one of the panels pressing down on the accelerator
Sounds like a break pedal to me
Who cares? The pedestrians in front of those monstrosities that will be chopped to pieces by that murder box. How the hell that thing can drive legally on any street is beyond me.
Who cares? They’re just pedestrians, it’s not like they’re honest car-driving citizens

Yeah, that headline…
I actually found the tone of the article (which is in tune with the title) quite refreshing, to the point that I read it all despite the fact I couldn’t care less about cars :)
IDK about the US press (I live elsewhere) but sometimes I feel the news could benefit from more candidly opinionated articles like this one and less professional-sounding pieces crafted to influence the readers’ opinions instead of informing them of the writer’s.
But because it’s all opinion, it gives me nothing except “some guy on the the internet has an opinion”. I can’t do anything with it, especially not form an opinion of my own. It’s just a waste of my time. Mind you, I already am of the opinion that Tesla is going to shit but I found very little in this article to substantiate that opinion should I need to argue for it myself, and the headline is just a plain out lie that that has no basis in the body text. It’s poorly written at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.
This is old web journalism. All the links in the text are actual links to other articles or pieces of information. This is how most news articles were in the 90s and early 2k. Y’know, before all the links in the text turned into ad links. This article gives a jumping off point to find out more info. The opinion piece does nothing but attract attention to the information linked within.
We’re all here talking about it so it seems to have worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All media is biased despite some of it trying to be objective or parading a facade of objectivity. The nice part about obviously bias articles is that their bias is obvious, you don’t need to read between the lines.
If that means you feel it’s a waste of time to read, then you find out it’s a waste of your time faster and can move on.
Unbiased article 👍
