Nah, that’s just the author injecting something that might have been the cause. No reason to jump to an assumption that it actually was the cause. Would have been more accurate to just say “Investigators will likely try to determine the cause of the crash, which could be a variety of things, from the driver had a

Why would you assume that? I mean it could be, but it could also be the 70 year old just hit the accelerator and panicked like many old people do. If it was anything but a Tesla, that would be the likely assumption, right?

“buy ICE cars which never catch on fire after an accident”

The alternative headline for this should be “Tesla catches on fire after accident like every other car can, killing two people, but even though there were probably a dozen other car accidents last week alone where the car caught on fire, we’re reporting on it

Doesn’t do you any good if you get out of the car and leave it in there. My guess on what happened here was either:

1) She was using the phone key and the phone disconnected from the car and thus locked when she got out and closed the door. I’ve gotten out of my car and left my phone in there hundreds of times and

And that’s why I’m wondering how she got locked out. The car isn’t supposed to lock itself if she was only using the card key and left it in the car (the card key doesn’t support automatic locking/unlocking. Likewise, it shouldn’t lock itself if you leave your (paired) phone key in the car. Maybe she accidentally

I think it depends on how big the USB drive is (I know I put a much bigger one in mine the one that came with the car), and it’s a one-button press to save the footage so it doesn’t get erased on the loop but she probably just didn’t do that (understandable given the stress). Seems that breaking the window would

This is a non-starter for me. I need to regularly haul my camper, boat and 3 ATVs uphill through the Rockies 1200 miles each way twice a day.

I grew up in the country/in the sticks. It was not unusual to hear gunshots from target practicing or hunting or ATVs going by, or a barking dog. Hey it comes with being in the country, the same as hearing police sirens and car alarms and traffic comes with living in the city. But that’s a far cry from your neighbor

A neighbor built a dirt bike track in his back yard. My only concern is that the kids sometimes leave the track and end up in traffic, but it’s pretty slow there. Multiple neighbors try to raise chickens. Which is also pretty cool, until the Racoons eat them all, which is sort of sad. My wife runs a doggy day care

My great grandfather lost his leg doing exactly that. Drunk, passed out on the tracks. Thankfully survived so I’m here today.

I’m honestly surprised there was actually a helicopter flight. I just assumed that was completely made up as well.

I’m was expecting this slideshow to be 50 slides.

Noise laws as it relates to exhaust. I don’t want to be able to hear your exhaust from 1/4 mile away as your crappy Civic speeds by. The goal should be quieter cars, traffic and neighborhoods.

There should be laws around lifted trucks/visibility (I’m nearly 6' tall and some of those hoods come up to my chin or higher)

After decades of not stopping at South of the Border, I finally decided to stop in last year while driving by. It was mostly empty, except the steakhouse was packed and had almost an hour wait, so we went to another restaurant there that wasn’t as busy. Outside of that, everything was like a ghost town. Walked through

Had a 2012 Chevy Cruze but wanted to gift it to my son and upgrade to an EV. We were really considering an Ioniq 5 but this was back in January 2023 and Tesla dropped the price of the Y the week that we were looking. With the lower price now being on par with the Ioniq 5 that we were looking at, and the better

I’m worried if I skip the debate I might miss Trump stroking out and falling face first onto the stage and shitting his diaper live on national TV.

So is the energy usage because they’re still training the models, or is that just to be expected long-term? I guess the “training” will never end. How do these energy numbers compare to MS’s, Open AI’s and others? Of course Google search is comparatively huge to those I’m sure. Still I have to wonder about the long

Going along with the EV heating thing, being able to heat/cool your car remotely (yeah, I’m familiar with “remote start” but that also requires running your engine). And having “dog mode” or whatever the equivalent of that is in a non-Tesla EV. Used to have to leave my dog at home all the time because I’d always have

I use the power button double-tap to open the camera. Works from the lockscreen and easy to get the camera open in a hurry to capture those impromptu moments.

Every day I wake up hoping to open the news and see he stroked out and was found face down in his own dirty diaper and every day I’m disappointed. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.
