Apple CarPlay will not replace your existing car’s instruments and binnacle. That’s never going to happen.

Not "will", "does". Android Auto is already live with Polestar. 

So reading the comments as a non-USAian...”something, something workers comp”. I still don’t understand why the vehicle owner needs to be involved in any way, and why they are being inconvenienced at all.

Interesting that Americans don’t look on 80s cars fondly whereas in Europe we had loads of great stuff; peak hot hatch (Golf GTI, 205 GTi 1.9 etc.), road going touring cars (Sierra Cosworth) and yes, nobody cared that TVRs were built like crap when they sounded like God clearing his throat every time they drove past.…

Alpine has sadly gone from best to worst in a single bound; that pink is revolting with the blue.

Oh I'm sure he was, Border Force can be absolute twats, but they have fewer powers than the TSA (who can compel foreign visitors to unlock their phones etc.) so they use implied powers to achieve the same thing.

UK Border Force aren’t police. They’re a combined customs and immigration service. They certainly have legal powers, but they’re not cops. 

Masts break. If they haven’t designed the masts to be removable/replaceable, they’ve really fucked up. 

Doesn’t this seem like something the boat yard should have known about and dealt with before taking on the commission? Bezos’ default douchebaggery aside, it doesn’t really seem like he was the one who fucked up here.

I kind of agree, but if all the equivalent cars from the “luxury” brands aren’t as good, then the Tesla model in that category becomes the “luxury” choice by default. I really don’t want a Model 3, it looks crap and I’m not really into that level of minimalism, but at the moment, all of the alternatives are inferior…

Is there a simple bit of case law that just rebuts the whole Sovereign Citizen thing? A nice legal “shut  the fuck up you weirdos”? 

Is it me or is this quite a bit smaller than the original show car? I keep looking at it and I’m trying to position a driver inside it without them having a face full of windscreen or be sat so far back that the rear seats are Porsche 911 sized. Its a difficult shape to judge the internal seating at the best of times…

he got terribly unlucky.

Its very expensive to use a safety feature? That's insane. 

Thank you Captain Pedantic. Way to entirely miss the point. 

Masi told the teams that lapped cars would NOT be allowed to overtake at 18.27, and then changed the decision to allow some lapped cars to overtake at 18.31, and track clear was announced at 18.32.

Even if they got out of the way immediately, it would have given Lewis a couple of seconds and a fighting chance to at least get past one DRS zone, as it was he was a sitting duck.

But that’s part of the problem; Masi announced the lapped cars wouldn’t be allowed to unlap, RB shouted at him, and he changed his mind within a few seconds, giving Mercedes absolutely no options.

This went beyond “a bad call”; that would assume a contentious interpretation of the rules; here Masi effectively stacked the deck against one driver, and actively ignored the rules using the basic defence of “the Race Director can do what he likes”. You can’t run a sport that way.

FIA is now as credible as WWE. How the fuck can the race director change the rules literally on the final lap? Which make no mistake, is exactly what Masi did.
