Someone tell me why illegal aliens should be issued driver’s licenses?

The window sticker listing FSD and other options the dealer got from Tesla when they bought the car from them is pretty clear evidence that Tesla acknowledges that the car was sold to the dealer with those options.

No Tesla is just being a dick, the dealer bought the car at auction, verified the FSD and Autopilot were as advertised in the auction, there is a picture in the article the dealer took verifying the functionality. They moved forward and sold is on with the knowledge the functions were there. Tesla said after the fact…

I’ve seen the official title to the car that states it was sold to the dealer on 11/15, and the 11/18 date of the audit came from Tesla themselves. It does not appear the dealer is lying about this.

Not really because Adobe doesn’t make laptops. Tesla made a car and sold it with the feature. It’s more akin to buying a used Surface and having to buy a new version of Microsoft Edge because MS decides that you they only sold the ability to go online to the original laptop user.

This should be a cautionary tale— Tesla is clearly telegraphing intent to “make life miserable” for owners once these cars go off warranty and off support. Parts will get hard and “keeping the functions I paid for” will get even harder.

Uncreative as a reference, but it still looks great on it’s own.

The solar does power the propeller most of the daytime hours. 

GM has taken risks and I do agree that they tend to fold (Fiero... hell even the Corvair was a fuck up that wasn’t helped by morons who couldn’t fucking drive). But lately all they’ve done is go back to building the same bull-shit half-assed recycled interior automobiles they always had prior to the crash of 08-09.…

“in a market that can’t get enough of big and stupid SUVs."

The thing with the Fiero was, by the time they finally got it right nobody wanted one anymore.  Yet another classic example of a good idea ruined by poor execution.

I would 100% be doing this. I can wait longer to make someone in front of me miserable for flipping me off earlier. 

Not to mention they were phenomenal pieces of shit. Not one of the restorations you see at cars and coffee looked anywhere near that good, or ran as reliably, coming out of the factory.

I don’t find modern cars uncomfortable at all, personally. I like a bit of firmness and support, and I’ve never noticed a newer car feeling particularly bad on crappy pavement. But then, I sleep on the firmest mattress I could find and I put a board under it to make it even firmer. Maybe I’m just weird. To me though,…

My stepdad had a 69 Mach I giant pain in the ass. Was fun if you got on the gas and we're positive you were pointed straight. Looked gorgeous though. My girlfriends current 2008 Jeep Liberty could probably beat it around a track

Mpg is meaningless?

Most people don’t want a fun car though, they just want a comfy couch to sit on while they crawl through traffic to and from their jobs, plus enough space for the kids, kid-related gear, and groceries. Also, they want it to be reliable and not cost a boatload to operate.

The BQE, as it is colloquially known, is only a “highway” in the loosest definition of the term, since the speed limit is 45 mph but most of the time you’ll be lucky if you go one mph.

Pretty sure Tesla has way more chance than Rivian. But other than Tesla, Rivian is probably the one with the most chance.

People forced the government to regulate the hell out of the auto industry in terms of safety. All that safety add weight, engineering cost, manufacturing costs, material costs, etc.
