Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and man who keeps his non-running project car in heliocentric orbit,

This behavior does limit the margin of error if the crossing car slows or stops, of course, but it’s possible this is expected behavior.

Aha! So the wires hanging under the dash are a “feature:”

Humans have an amazing capacity to try to rationalize that which doesn’t make sense.  That the roof of a brand new car is separating from its supports is pretty far outside the expected.  

My uncle bought one new.  It caught fire during his morning commute one day and was totaled.  

They weren’t as common in NC, but after moving to MI, I’ve noticed that about 1 in 10 (okay, 1 in 20) houses still have a Vibe/Matrix in the driveway. It’s astounding.

Mine require needle nose pliers to squeeze or widen the metal at these little forks:

I have the same situation as David where I have a washer nozzle incorporated into the wiper, so it’s really my only option on that vehicle.

You forgot the part where you flip out the fiddly little forks on some of these so that so that it doesn’t slide out. (‘95 Toyota Previa)

Or a way to pull the seat back toward you without getting your grubby paws on the upholstery proper.

I’ve been criticized for not turning mine on soon enough. I think this is partly explained by the passenger’s threshold for feeling uncomfortable with speed, visibility et cetera is much lower than the driver’s.

If it’s an Easter egg, then the ultimate message is that Raptor Jesus will rise from the dead after being killed and consumed by the King of the Tyrant Lizards (T Rex.)

Yeah, there’s that cool sign in Wilmington, NC:

Not sure how legit it is, but a guy claiming to be his brother posted back then that he got 18 months:

Ah, I hope I did not jump to conclusions. Looks real bad though.

Not so funny when you see that this is the same guy that killed FOUR people in another crash in 2006. This motherfucker needs to be off the streets.
