>>> I guess we’ll never really know where the Ford Model T/Spanish Moss myth came from, but remember: don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
I didn’t read it on the Internet: I was told it by boat drivers in two Florida State parks.
 

Tesla’s don’t have blended brakes. They have an optional “Hold” mode, which allows one-pedal driving: it will apply the brakes when there is not enough energy recovery to bring a car to a complete stop. Most of the time, a careful driver using this mode doesn’t need to touch the brake pedal.

My Model 3 has a “chill” mode.

Boeing would have ceased to exist decades ago without this sort of shit. Yay, Murica.

Just going to throw this out there - but Rush was clearly dismissive of government regulation and government warnings. The typical, libertarian, businessman who felt that needless bureaucracy cramped his style.

>> “While they didn’t know the man they arrested was judged,”
Was this article written by an AI bot?

I did think of one way they could see the initial “range” at 70% of EPA: if the cars do lots of short journeys, in hot or cold climates, so that the A/C or heating is frequently used to quickly heat or cool the cabin, thus using up battery charge. Then, they scale up the electricity and/range used in these short…

The study has some bullshit data. I have an early model 3 and to suggest that it came with 70% of EPA range when new is simply ridiculous. Were they testing range by driving on a track at 100mph?

“Capsize”. It’s called a “capsize”.

I had a similar experience the one time I flew Virgin Atlantic. You could clearly see that there was a wave of people using the sick bags that went from somewhere around the middle of the plane to the rear. It was clear that people were responding to seeing and smelling the vomit, by vomiting themselves. 

I think that is a badly written paragraph that people are reading too much into. The danger with opening the doors is that the window may not drop and you can scratch the car when the door is opened.

It doesn't say whether or not she tried the normal button to open the door.

Did she actually try pressing the button to open the door? The article doesn't say she did, so she had no knowledge of whether she could get out of the car without damaging it or not.

The thing is that with a budget of designing a modern car, aerodynamic drag becomes a lesser factor than you think. E class Mercedes have lower drag coefficients than Telsa 3s.

From a pure physics point of view, moving an object from one place to another at the same height does not require a net expenditure of energy. Yes, it takes energy to accelerate the object, but that energy can be recovered when the object is slowed down at the end of its journey.

The law doesn’t explicitly say what can and what cannot be asked, so you can find different claims about this. Generally, the safe approach is to ask:

I bet there was no blood test. Something that would routinely be done were the driver not a police officer.

>> To be fair to the “gig” jobs, they weren’t supposed to be full time employment.

Many supermarkets have their own delivery services now.
