Appreciation for engineering/mechanical devices. Both watches and cars have an incredible amount of design, engineering and craftsmanship involved and I have an appreciation for that type of work.

One thing I’ll say , growing up in a poor European ( but not eastern) country in the 70s and 90s , there were a LOT of old American sitcoms used as filler in the day , I mean I saw stuff like Green Acres and the Beverly Hillbillies and Barney Miller the like , so its not inconceivable that she would have seen them.

Not a horror movie but its still a damn good advertisement. The Raptor is the only truck ive ever been interested in buying and that is still the case. What a beast. Its comical to see how fast that thing can go in desert terrain compared to what i drive. If i were dumber w/my money id absolutely buy one. 

They still make the Hayabusa???

Once you see it, you can’t un-see it

Can someone please take Nissan's steering wheel designer out behind the shed?

Good thing iPhones start at $399 and MacBook airs start at $899.

Please tell me that “El-Born” is some dumb placeholder name, and the real one is “Chabra.”

Cupra Chabra.

It must happen.

It’s really not as bad as people think, because they are equating the batteries in cars to the ones in their phones, which have a very measurable drop in less than 3 years. This drop is due to the usage habits of phones, and the fact that there is only one cell in the battery. Charging a single cell hundreds of time…

I’ve never really minded the fried egg headlights, but my absolute favorite thing about them is the undue amount of rage they induce in Porsche enthusiasts. Anything that makes the crotchety old men at Cars & Coffee mad is good in my book.

Speaking as someone who lives in SE Michigan:

I’d like to follow up with ‘Elon, STAHP! Go home you’re drunk’

I’ve been driving about 20 years. I’ve had infotainment screens that included touch screen and NAV for over 10 years. Never had a single electrical problem. Screen never died. Never froze. It feels pretty reliable to me so far.

I don’t know what everyone is talking about here. I can’t count the number of times that I leave Trader Joe’s and after I put my groceries in my Tesla and after I look through the windshield to see the the curb and the nicely landscaped bushes in front of my Tesla thought “Shit, do I put the car in reverse or drive…

You might be COVID-19 positive, I believe that is a symptom

EV school buses are a fantastic idea. I even think they are the best application for current EV technology. However, the big problem goes right back to how underfunded so many schools are.

Charging infrastructure should have zero to do with their decision. These things by definition park in depots at night. During the day, they make runs that are very, very rarely longer than 20-30 miles in a loop. And for those that are double-duty, taking sports/events teams, you can always keep a few gas burners…
