This is more a QC issue at the plant than a worker issue.

Or, they could implement the system we have in Alberta. On-line updating for your registration (in one or two year intervals) and the license plate sticker is gone.

Jesus, I didn’t even know this was a thing? What kind of monstrously stupid person thought this up???
Why do you even need to hack it?? Just get a similar size and style digital display and make your own!

Why does this even exist to begin with? What problem is a digital licence plate solving? How often would you change the plate on a car anyway? I know the plate doesn’t stick with the car in the US like it does here in Europe, but unless you’re moving to a different state, it doesn’t change unless you get a custom…

Boy, do I sure not understand these.  Sounds like a ton of future e-waste.

In all honesty, this comes back to the fundamental question: what is the point of a digital licence plate if it’s not for this sort of nonsense? It’s more expensive than stamped aluminium, requires power, can fail, and can be tampered with in an occluded manner. Who, other than people looking to commit moving…

You dumbfuck. Throw the gun in the river, change your clothes, burn your manifesto, and dye your hair. You committed the perfect crime, in broad daylight, and sent a message that has galvanised people. Why get busted on a gun charge?

The other day I was thinking, I bet Jalopnik would love to find a transportation angle on this story.

You’d think Job #1 is cut/shave your hair. #2 is grow a beard. #3 is sunglasses and mask everywhere for the next 3 months. #4 is make it back to Hawaii, where no one could imagine you’re a NYC suspect. He appeared to do none of these.

This guy planned out every step, seemingly meticulously, then gunned down a well known CEO in the most surveilled city in the country, escaped in a way that left bullets with a message and a backpack full of Monopoly money, got out of the city successfully, but was found off a tip from a *McDonalds employee* and he…

Jury nullification.

Oh, please do not put one pic of the front bench seat. Literally in the title.

Not going to lie, I’m pretty disappointed in the Jalop community on this one.

Another day another “The Tesla Cybertruck is not very good” story. Yawn. Did people really not know that putting ferrous iron on stainless steel out in the weather would result in rust? I feel like this is that Costco butter recall because they didn’t put that it contains milk on the package.

Yeah, I totally go make five-figure purchases specifically to tell the world I’m upset with a corporation’s CEO!

Screw the table man, the spare tire well is the much bigger news here. If it is plastic and has a drain hole, it is what SUV’s have been missing! How many times have you placed a gas can, used oil container, lasagna, or similar item onto the carpeted floor and worried about every bump? The ability to flip up a section…

As someone who’s had vinyl letters on the car before, this happens to normal cars too...

You are assuming that the housing market drops but your wealth and spending power isn’t similarly eroded?

It’s more than just the auto industry, though. Project 2025's environmental section is basically “let’s intentionally destroy as much nature as possible and purposefully make global warming worse.” Not even a “maximise shareholder value for a short while” kind of destruction, but “let’s commit environmental suicide”…

A convicted felon / adjudicated rapist / 6-time-bankupt ‘businessman’ / seditionist / early-stage-dementia-patient / etc. has some thoughts...
