One of the hazards of the job; if you pull enough women over at night to extort sex from them, then you do open yourself up to the risk of being hit by a passing trucker (who has his own dead women to deal with, to be too busy to pay attention to the road) while doing so.

ALL of these billionaires are becoming America’s entrenched aristocracy, or Gentry. Their wealth is multi-generational (and increasing). We are on the fast track to 18thC France. American democracy, as understood post WW2, is fading away, to an authoritarian plutocracy. There will still be political parties, there

Yeah, the title did a evoke a bit of a ‘No Shit, Sherlock’ reaction.

The range is the issue on a car that is $33k and gets 100 miles of range. The new Fiat 500e does 200 miles at that price. It’s still new technology but the price of batteries have dropped by 75% in a decade. In another decade we will see cheaper, more efficient, and energy dense batteries. More efficient motors and

Totally. Look how Trump got booed for telling people to take the vaccine and yet his base screams and complains that it should be called the Trump vaccine and that he is fully responsible for it.

“diagnose the problem to Taylor”?

Don’t be ridiculous. An individual doesn’t have to know about all of those things... That’s why professionals exist.

Wait, we still have rednecks telling the whole country how to do things, even voting a morally corrupt, incompetent and broke conservative president into the White House some years ago.

The physical button allows passengers to easily adjust the volume as well.

Was still a thing when I was at school, early 2000's; our house didn’t have one, but had friends who did.

Pedestrian in the Middle of the Road: Oh, hold on I’m getting a text! (stops in road to fish out phone and read text message).

I never ceases to amaze me that people accept this Rube-Goldberg setup, while criticizing Teslas, that have an actual knob on the steering wheel for volume.

Torque helps with getting that mass moving at a dead stop, but horsepower is about how fast it can do the work of climbing the grade.

misaligned body panels caused additional reliability issues for Tesla

Consumer Reports data is the worst available. They use their subscriber base for their results and it’s a predicted score where everything is weighed evenly. So, an infotainment screen problem weighs the same as a transmission going out in reliability rankings. Their surveys are absolute garbage, and the results are

No one expected the FIA to reverse itself. That would mean admitting they done fucked up and reversing themselves. Not gonna happen.
