Or we could . . . ya know . . . celebrate that relatively new American car company, despite all of its flaws, is a) actually producing cars, and b) making some safe ones at that.

I’ve watched a few streams of it. I’m waiting for the PC version, and hope they drastically change the looting for PC, as the scrolling function over a downed enemy to loot them seems . . . painful in the context of having a mouse and keyboard. I understand that it works for console though. 

That your car purchase meets all of your needs, but also meets a bunch of wants doesn’t mean your purchase was based on needs.

I’d disagree with the sentiment that most vehicles are bought based on need instead of want. The average price of a new car is now in the mid 30's, however there are still plenty of cars offered in the teens and low 20's new. But people are buying more expensive cars because they aren’t buying something for their 99%…

The ability to quickly send over-the-air updates is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, the ability to fix a problem quickly is awesome. On the other, the ability to fix a problem quickly likely means that the scrutiny and QA testing these releases get isn’t of the same rigor that a release would get if…

A good thing to know is Google’s “Find my Phone” feature. If you google that, and have an android with a linked google account, you can remotely locate, ring, lock, and even erase your device. So if it gets stolen, it allows you to remotely lock it, with a different password than before, and have the screen say “this…

It’s not too bad, but definitely a “not after 9pm” thing unless it’s a weekend. If you could keep the door closed it wouldn’t be terrible, but you want some good ventilation while you’re doing it.

I dunno, I was surprised to see they have a system in place actually telling people their specific vehicle is OverHeight, and must turn. Feel like that should say enough. 

Next up get yourself a plasma cutter. Having a welder and plasma cutter changed my world in terms of what I could do in my own garage. Example: I was able to tuck up my exhaust on my 66' project by cutting holes in a cross member, then welding in reinforcements that exhaust could run through.

I believe he even got the car up on two wheels in the final turn, right?

What is optimal? Honestly the way I look at it, I carry my phone with me all the time as it has multiple uses. The key fob I carry has 1 use, and if it weren’t for the car I wouldn’t need it. So eliminating a sole-purpose item I view as a good thing. 

On the plus side she’ll likely get a Model S or X to cruise around in for awhile. Yeah, never as nice as your own vehicle, but not terrible. I always hated when I had my 550XI, having to take it in, and getting something like an X1 for a loaner. Where is the attempted upsell??

Your steering wheel in the Model 3 has two thumb buttons. One is a volume “knob” when you’re not in a context sensitive menu to adjust mirrors or the wheel.

He’s not going anywhere. He’s just here to troll.

If I recall there was a story about thieves doing something similar to BMWs wherein they would smash a window, plug into the ECU so they could make a clone key, then wait for the owner to repair the window thinking it was a simply robbery, then come back and steal the freshly repaired car with their clone key. 

I thought it was confirmed they were going to use a flat plane crank.

Likely the Bullit, though the value it holds would be negated relative to the Bolt with every mile you drive it, as the cost to drive it would be significantly higher than the Bolt I imagine. So while after 50k miles the Bullet might have a higher value, it would have cost significantly more to drive it 50k miles than…

That’s true, but the buyer focused primarily on ROI and cost-savings isn’t going to be optioning their vehicle up to the 40's. Those who do are considering ROI as a secondary concern. 

Why would you be lucky to get 5 years from the vehicle life? There are plenty of 2012 volts on the road still with decent battery life remaining.

Wut?
