This Is How Your 2021 Automotive Predictions Fared This Year – Jalopnik

We had to end with 4×98‘s predictions, which was simply so spot-on that I can’t help but wonder if the world has grown too predictable.

– Flying cars will be “only” 3 years away

– Americans will be denied access to

– Tesla will continue to sell cars with shitty build quality while the stock rises off the back of the random spoutings of it’s mentally ill seeming founder, Semi/Cybertruck/etc will continue to be notable by absence

– Jalopnik will continue to highlight random youtube car videos, 3 days after youtube puts them in front of me

– A new version of the VW bus will be rumoured to be released real soon now, possibly electric and people will lose their minds before it fizzles

– will enact draconian and impossible emissions standards that are due to kill all gasoline cars by the year

– F1 will continue to be its shitty, unrestrained self on all levels

– McLaren will release 12 different trim levels, I’m sorry, new models

– E-real racing will continue not to satisfy despite massive efforts

– Video game sports will continue to try to be taken as a Real Thing

– FCA will have a rummage in the closet to find the one remaining model they haven’t stuck a hellcat engine in yet, then stick a hellcat engine in it

– Toyota will continue to insist hydrogen is The Next Big Thing

– Having obsessed over every aspect of cars, Torch will be forced to start a society of speedometer typeface aficionados

– A slew of new supercars that are just all samey and awful to look at will be released

– Some ‘ring lap bullshit from manufacturers

I think that about covers it. Oh, and Kinja, amazingly, will continue to suck beyond the ability of humans to comprehend.

Applause for you, friend.
