Drivers really don’t meet the standard of being employees. They aren’t scheduled like employees,

It’s not a “depression” stop being melodramatic.

I actually looked this up out of curiosity, as to what the most dangerous professions were. The police came in at 13th. But if you listen to them, it’s like they were dropped in Vietnam jungle, surrounded by the Vietcong with no support. Granted, they have do have a dangerous job (location matters, and frequency of…

Don’t shoot back at the pigs. It’s the exact reaction they crave to justify their unjustifiable violence.

This is your daily reminder that cops are not expected to keep their cool and act rationally but they expect all citizens of all ages to act perfect even if doing so is in direct conflict with a instinctual biological reaction.

The NAACP is now calling on the Waycross Police Department to release body-cam and camera dash footage of the traffic stop, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. 

Outsourcing as much as possible sounds like Nikola’s plans for a lot of their products. It also is a similar approach to their first go, the Karma (production outsourced to Valmet, many of the interior parts outsourced to Magna and engine from GM, battery pack to A123), which didn’t exactly have good results.

Fisher has always been trying to get its shit together. I don’t give it any better chances for success this time around either. 

So the Audi carries an additional 1300 pounds, goes 100 miles less, and still costs a minimum of $16,000 more than a long range AWD Model Y ($49,990 before rebates), a car almost exactly the same size (Y is 6" shorter but the same width and height).

Via History:

Not only that, but just the completely obtuse stance Raph takes is mind-numbing. Read this:

PATCO was being petulant and making unreasonable demands and figured they were essential enough they could illegally strike. It was an incredibly bad gamble on their part, which is why they continually failed in court afterward.

Step 2 for U - Take it to Wall Street.

Ralph and Erik are probably the worst writers on this site (Erik for sure). Completely biased against certain companies or cars.

Holy shit, this. I am no fanboy either but I’m sure I look like it because I feel half my comments these days are calling out Raph and Erik on their crusade against Tesla because... reasons?  This may be the worst take yet. 

1st Gear: I’m no apologist for Tesla, trust me. But Tesla has a solid track record of, like, actually manufacturing shit. Maybe not on schedule, and perhaps not with the greatest quality, but building units and pushing them out the door on a daily basis. Nikola? They just broke ground on a manufacturing facility that…

Alternative Headline: KIA REFUSES TO SELL ITS SOUL TO AMERICA

5th Gear: The poor are hit hardest by *everything*. Using that as an excuse to not do something that’s a net positive is stupid.

5th Gear: The UK Is Phasing Out Internal Combustion Engines—Carmakers Say The Poor Will Pay

Neutral: Maybe not BEVs specifically, but outside of specific application/historical items/limited enthusiast use, straight ICEs have gotta go in favor of hybrid power trains, and automakers aren’t going to do it unless they’re forced to. Not even getting raked over the coals by investors and getting clowned by Doofus…
