So if your car wasn’t stolen you get jack shit unless you try (and fail, like I did) to get reimbursed for an anti-theft solution (I opted for a battery kill switch, they would not pay for).

I am not a fan of Tesla and the way FSD is being pushed out willy-nilly, and this just further solidifies that. As others have said already, this is a really bad take. You see a pedestrian enter a crosswalk before you are in it, you stop. Nuff said.

My wife and I stopped at a McD’s just outside of Boston on our way back home from Maine. This particular location has completely done away with their drive thru and I admit I drove around the parking lot at least twice trying to figure out how I was missing it.

2 of my uncles had/have MS (one died of complications so far) so I sure hope they figure this out sooner than later. Reading the article, it sounds like the protein “mistaken identity” that our immune response can sometimes do is the same kind of thing that happens in tick bytes for people who get a red meat allergy,…

While I certainly see the point that “holistic integration” has some benefits, it also becomes a weak point from a cybersecurity aspect unless GM is willing and able to take on the challenge of keeping everything up-to-date and ensuring security. Given just about every automaker track record here, including Tesla, I…

Trust me. I am done with them. Just wish I could unload mine right now but just about any other car I look at is not in stock and I am not going to pay over MSRP so gonna have to wait a bit.

Hyundai should realize what a bad look it is for their brands having the use of the club associated with their vehicles on such a large scale. I have to use one on my car and a guy on my street has 2 Kias that both park outside and both have clubs on them. That’s just one street. They could avoid all of this and do…

Great... but does it come with an engine immobilizer?

That is the entire problem with this. Especially in 2024 once you are able to transfer the credit directly to the dealership. 

The fact that it’s already a sold-out retrofit should tell them all they need to know: Only Michael Knight wants a yoke!

I think, rather than a blanket waiver, they allow a company to proceed on the promise that they will have moved manufacturing to the U.S. by X date. If they do not follow-through, then they owe the money back. 

Eh, let em do a class action and get $20 per car back.

Why can’t I not see an Oldsmobile Aurora when I look at this thing?

Granted, most will say that they charge at home and that’s true, but we’re a single (insert cloud, AWS/Azure/Google) cloud failure away from EV drivers nationwide being completely unable to charge their cars for what could potentially be a lengthy amount of time and that doesn’t happen with gas stations. They are…

How does Tesla handle the updates? Are you forced to update on the spot or do you have options to delay the installation? Just asking because in my opinion the worst thing to happen would be to jump in the car to go to a meeting or something and have to sit while the car finishes updating, but also I would prefer to…

Yeah I still like to watch the show but I can’t help but think about the fungus this is based on. If you watch what it does to ants then you know it’s only for a relatively short span of time - just enough to get the ant to walk up to the perfect spot for it to sprout and let spores blow in the wind - leaving the…

I have a similar one near my house. I realized at some point that it detects the second car in line so I started stopping 1 car length back and now it detects me every time. Then they redid the intersection and must have programmed it to require a car in each spot, but the workaround there is to pull all the way up…

I figured the cybertruck was going to use excess stainless steel from Spacex in a cost-savings manner but sounds like, if he was even smart enough to think that, he didn’t think through the rest of the costs associated with using stainless steel.

I think this is the answer, for me, for now... but just like you pointed out, they need to make more PHEV’s. There is a huge lack of them already and they tend to be on the expensive side too and not all will be tax credit eligible. Seems like too many manufacturers are already jumping on the EV profit bandwagon and…

Problem with that logic is your rate would go up because you had a car stolen. Basically if you own a Kia/Hyundai affected by this (and I do) then you’re totally screwed. I need to unload this shit fast I think.
