I’m sorry Colin, but you are wrong here. All Toyota Hybrids are CVT’s. The transmission can’t preference a higher or lower “gear” based on “D” or “B” selected during driving. The “B” is just a higher regeneration level when you let off the gas. Both my cars have it and they drive no different in either, but when you…

Doesn’t look close to anything like 45 degrees to me. I’ve grown up sailing and raced on all different kinds/sizes of sailboats. I’m sure it was terrifying, but you aren’t just walking around on a boat that’s heeled over at 45 degrees. 

Him not getting shot for his behavior is the white privilege.

“His connections with local law enforcement got the charges dropped. If the footage didn’t exist, this could all have been swept under the rug.”

BS - If I pushed a officer like that, I would be in jail.

You couldn’t turn the wheels on any other truck with standard EPAS any faster. It’s not the wheels’ response that’s slow, it’s the steering wheel that’s fast because it has such a short lock-to-lock.

Isn’t the ratio greatly quickened when stopped like this? So, at higher speed, the driver would likely have to turn the steering wheel even further, which would reduce the lag.

say it with me kids: if you’re detained by police, you cannot consent to sexual activity. what’s it called when you perform sexual activities with someone who cannot consent? rape/sexual assault

It’s their weird undisclosed proprietary formula. There are a lot of third-party testers like Edmunds that do their own range tests. Some Teslas do better than others, but some do close to 100%. For example, Edmunds tested the 2024 Model 3 LR at 338 range vs 341 rated in its 60/40 freeway/street test. That’s 99%.

“In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty” which is why I pulled a gun on an innocent man until he proved he wasn’t guilty. Flawless victory.

I’m with both of you.

I get not wanting to damage your vehicle, but at the end of the day, if you’re dead, it really doesn’t matter if you’re vehicle is borked or not.

No one helped the first credible victims of alien abduction because there are no credible victims of alien abduction.

Why is nobody talking about the other shit these two went through?

Especially the “However, many households sell their vehicle before they get there” line is dumb, because the vehicle doesn’t stop being environmentally friendly when it moves to its second or third owner. Who cares if it takes until the 2nd owner until it becomes a net positive for the environment if the first owner…

In the U.S., the typical non-luxury EV needs to log between 28,069 and 68,160 miles before netting any emissions benefits.

I recognize the source of the lede photo: Alaska Airlines has organized training for Guide Dog puppies:

So glad the dealer laws here in North Carolina are there to me protect from buying directly from a manufacturer. I’d hate to get taken advantage of.

Well, Fascism requires draconian laws which can be selectively applied, so needing no evidence other than the officer’s say-so is ideal.  Constitutionality is a matter for partisan judges to decide.

Recognising his error, Schwarzenegger went to get a shovel to dig out the hole. He apologised, saying “I’ll be back”.

Manchin is an energy company shill who’s whored his seat out to them for decades. He sits comfortable in the knowledge that his family has benefitted directly from his legislative practices of enabling environmentally-destructive business practices, and that he can’t be replaced easily.
