Imagine Ghosn running around with an axe and try not to laugh.

And no, I’m not lumping “parking in a fire lane” with “parking in a faculty lot” together. I’m just reminded of the “forging an official-looking document about parking” bit.

He didn’t have a ticket. My roommate got one for doing something similarly stupid, so we used that as a base to alter from.

There was a jackass who parked in a fire lane in front of my dorm. Roommate and I took his parking ticket, ‘shopped it with the jackass’s details, printed it out and put it under his wipers. Watching the idiot go apoplectic was almost worth it. Almost, because we knew he wasn’t going to pay. 

Little odd drinking coffee and having my vitamin supplements from the same brand.

This guy apparently went on an interstate on his bicycle and also topped out at 93 mph. Though I suspect his “bicycle” is a “motorcycle”.

This needs so many more stars.

You’re doing people who time-shift a great disservice, then.

So this is how Dyson will lose his fortunes? I mean I welcome another entrant into the BEV market but I don’t know if they will be able to manufacture at the tolerances car shoppers have come to expect. Making cars is hard. 

What the platform was intended for when it first started was for TK and friends to hire limousines cheaply. Uber has pivoted so many times, the “what this was intended for” is a meaningless rhetoric. Like Vin has said elsewhere, we need to look at how this is being used today by both customers and drivers.

TIL Union Pacific makes so much money they can afford to do something like this.

Autonomous Vehicle engineer here (not at all connected to Tesla). GPS data alone, at several meters resolution, is completely inadequate for autonomous vehicle operation.

So, um, that’s why they’re statistically safer, right? Like car insurance companies know how safe classes of drivers are and that’s a huge determiner of how much your car insurance costs, and almost at every age bracket, women are cheaper to insure than men. 

And even before that:

Yeah totally. They’re manufactured items. An identical car isn’t going to be any different because I bought at Dealership A or B. I’m in NYC-area, there are likely going to be 5+ dealerships in the area to choose from for servicing too, since it’s not like I’m looking for something super niche.

Honestly I don’t now how they could tell though. The conversation went something like this:

When I bought my STI, new, I got super lucky. I did my homework, of course, and got my own financing, invoice price and rough trade-in values. I was all psyched to do what you described, with all my affairs in order.

Sure the charger’s rated for 39W, but what does the switch actually draw?

in NYC, they have an app for all NYC taxis. It can summon a cab for you. You can pay for the summoned or ad-hoc hailed cab from the app. Thing is, though, I’ve found Uber/Lyft to be cheaper(!) and have better seats, because that sweet, sweet VC money is still subsidizing my ride.

It’s already in the name! Sports Utility Vehicle! Vehicle is basically “car”, so take a little utility out and it becomes Sports Car! /s
