Just put it into FSD and let it drive itself into a pole.

There is always the possibility, and I know this may be a radical suggestion but hear me out, maybe this guy is just an overall douchebag and the hostility has nothing to do with the truck.

Whose bicycles weren’t getting repaired while those jamokes were off defying God’s will?

When I was 22 years old, not only was I a horrible driver of manual cars, I also lied a lot to try to cover my ass. Not saying he’s lying about not taking it to a road course. But after a quarter mile run, manual cars are downshifted to slow down in conjunction with brakes so you don’t run out of track. Adrenaline and…

It says he took it to a drag strip. How to you overrev a modern engine while accelerating?

I’ve seen a handful lately in northern Virginia and it’s galling every single time. Too many people with more money than common sense.

Well, thanks for spreading your colds and flus to the rest of your co-workers. I find this idea about “I never take sick days” to be utterly ridiculous.

A lifeline is only a lifeline if people know it exists, what it’s good for, and how to operate it. How many Americans without an AM radio in their home would know to go to their (maybe operational) vehicle in an emergency for information?

Be better to buy every American a $5 radio to keep with them at all times.

3.8 billion for zombie insurance? what a steal!

Wouldn’t most cars be in operable as well if there were EMPs from nuclear attacks? Would you still be able to operate a modern radio that you find in a car? I thought only knob and tube items or items specifically protected from EMPs would be able to work.

Technologically, AM radio is probably the cheapest, most robust way to reach the most people quickly.

If they want to keep AM for public safety, they can pick one frequency and reserve it across the United States. Clear out 5 KHz of the best spectrum and treat them like the EBS where you can activate it in affected areas via a few 50-100 kW antennas. Use it for regional emergency weather alerts, national security…

Agreed. The fact that nearly nobody has an AM radio anywhere but in their car and that it might be the last lifeline in the event of something tragic - it seems like a reasonable expectation that all cars would continue to have it.

First of all, I always take cost estimates like those with a large grain of salt. “3.8 billion dollars between now and 2030" parceled out over an estimated 85 million cars sold between 2025 and 2030 (17 million per year) is about $45 per car. Not the end of the world. Also not the use of the word “could,” not “would.”…

That money is just just back to someone who was willing to buy a Tesla in the first place, and based on their brand loyalty, is likely going to use it to buy a new one. So your hands won’t be totally clean.

Let’s not forget... Jesus flipped some tables in that story.

I mostly appreciate it because it gives us a chance to shut down Ohio State fans who insist everything is a conspiracy against them.
