Oh, I'm not saying that there's no precedent or legal basis, I'm just saying it's ludicrous! :)

This. I understand why we have bankruptcy court, and why they're not responsible for prior debts, but not responsible for previous products and criminal actions? That's ludicrous.

It's better to have ballast than to have driver weight, so there would still be an incentive for drivers to be very thin. Unless you specified the position of the ballast, but the cars would have to be designed around that.

oh please, terrible driving isn't limited to the affluent.

you see oversights like this literally constantly with headlines and reports. I theorize that they're overlooked because otherwise they wouldn't have a story.

Another commenter has mentioned that they complained to nest about this happening while a room was filling up with smoke. Yes, you're right in that this has not caused any fires to go undetected, but this still seems like a pretty insane product failure. I am biased though, as I find the whole concept of a smart smoke…

WHAT? What is worse than a smoke detector being accidentally silenced?

I don't think the Tesla is about being green. It's about being just a genuinely appealing car, that is also a novelty. The "appeal" of the prius or other advanced hybrids is that they are green. With the Model S, they just made a car that people would really want, even if being "green" wasn't their top priority.

Completely and utterly foreseeable. Whenever I hear the adds for this, with the tag line "silence with just a wave" strikes me as ridiculous. How often are you setting off alarms anyways?

Well yes, you're certainly not going to get any good PR by suing your customer for $25,000, whether or not you're right.

And link, which is coming out soon!

*if you get caught.

Yeah, honestly, often when I am speeding it's not because I think I'll get there faster, but because I find the speed limit to be intolerably boring (which is a juvenile attitude, I don't deny!)

Well. presumably you don't buy a $102 million mansion with a 30 year mortgage that you're struggling to pay every month.

This is totally different because people who are stealing personal information make their money by doing so thousands or hundreds of thousands of times over. You're not going to make any money traveling around, finding teslas, hacking into them, and then stealing whatever may be inside them.

On this day in 1931, Knute Rockne, the legendary Notre Dame football coach and namesake of the Studebaker Rockne line of autos, is killed in a plane crash near Bazaar, Kansas, at the age of 43.

I can't stand it when people talk about irreversible changes. Unless you're commenting on entropy, what you mean is that it is irreversible given current technology. Look at how much our technology developed during the twentieth century, why can't such a thing happen during the 21st century and allow us to accomplish…

I would eat pretty terribly regardless of whether or not I do endurance activities, so for the moment I'll assume I'm better off carrying on with them!

Fired is closer to correct. Most of them were relieved of their command, but can keep non-officer positions if they so wish.
