Looks like he was on a flying lap.

And I3s, so they can tape those together as well.

Douchey really is a strangely spelled word, but hey, it’s what Urban Dictionary suggests. I can imagine your friends not caring a lot if they’re being overtaken while in a car, or thinking it’s not a big deal if they’re such a driver themselves, but not a single cyclist appreciates being passed by a speeding driver…

We’ve probably spent time in different regions and periods then. Anyway, even if it were standard practice, it’d still be illegal, douchey and inconsiderate, and as such not something to promote.

Yeah, no. I’ve driven through the Dolomites and the Italian, Austrian and Swiss Alps, and that’s not standard operating procedure. It’s true that some Italian drivers are opportunistic, but they also generally drive small (and slow) cars. There’s a difference between throwing a Fiat Panda through a corner with…

I can’t wait to buy one second-hand in 2030!

And Tesla risks to lose substantial direct income and brand control if they have to sell their cars through an intermediary.

I’m not sure whether you intended to reply to Kristen or to me, but hey, here goes:

The 370Z has such a button. I don’t think you can accidentally toggle it though, most of those paddles (well, when used for shifting) are tactile enough to know when you’re about to engage them.

Standard equipment:

Sparks. Lots and lots of sparks.

Username checks out.

Cost cutting: it’s cheaper if you only have to make one steering wheel/column.

Looks cleaner and more inviting, and it’s a great update for non-motorized and local traffic. However, it seems to me that quickly identifying roads and their relative size/importance has become more difficult, which is important if you use it as a routing tool while driving.

You can have Tesla-only dealerships. Besides, your average Tesla competitor (Merc E/S, BMW 5/7, ...) isn’t really less technologically advanced anyway. Other drivetrain, yes, but the amount of CPUs, interior multimedia and even driver aids is similar. If anything, a Tesla is easier to understand and maintain.

Just #1 would’ve been enough. But hey, people be lazy, so thanks for saving a couple of lives*!

For the TL;DR crowd that jumps straight to the comments for a round of dealer bashing:

On the bright side, your landlord will now understand what it means to live in project car hell, and won’t care about your ever expanding Jeep purgatory.

It’s technically/legally a one-way toll road during the tourist drives, so no safety equipment required, other than a road-legal car. One could even say that it’s better to not wear a helmet, since you’re not supposed to drive like it’s a race, and the lack of a helmet is a great reminder to take it easy.
