In all things with these cars, the driver has the ability to take control at any moment. There’s one exception: emergency braking. If the car senses an impending collision and no user input to avert said collision, it will sound a quick alert then responsibly apply brakes to avoid an accident. In a case like this,…

In addition to the brake and acceleration input, the car would’ve also had to ignore the front sensors telling it that there was a solid wall in front of it. Seems too improbable to be true.

To answer your question #1, while in autopilot mode the controls react as if a ghost is driving, i.e., the brakes, acceleration pedal and steering wheel all react as if an invisible appendage is controlling them.

Well I mean....after taxes...

You may have misread my post. My point is that women have many more options when it comes to birth control than men do. Pills, shots, implants, etc. So it’s kind of lopsided to say that men have the advantage when it comes to sexual technology / rights.

So can I dip my car with this stuff or nah?

Yea, it’s too bad we don’t treat men’s birth control options like women’s.

I have a few friends in the military who suffer from ED and are undeniably the healthiest people I know. So while your family friend may have lots of overweight patients, not everyone with ED is a casually obese middle-aged man.

I actually LOL’d

Well the wait usually isn’t much more than 15 minutes per car. But yes, I’d suspect that many of these people are locals who use the Supercharger for convenience. Things like not having any bags and dropping their car off and hopping in another are usually dead giveaways.

By and large I think this is a good idea, for congested chargers. However I live close to two chargers that rarely, rarely have more than two cars charging. So if I want to charge while I eat dinner, I have to watch the clock and run back to unplug my car even though I know the rest of the stalls are completely empty.

This was my biggest gripe when I had a diesel. People using the diesel pumps for regular gas when other pumps were available, then taking their sweet-ass time.

But a lot of people don’t stay within walking distance of their car while they charge it. They’ll have someone drive with them there, then they’ll park and plug in, then go on about their day’s errands for however many hours in the other car. And people absolutely already do wait in line to use chargers. Especially in…

People said Japan couldn’t do without our markets before WW2 regarding their metal, copper and oil supplies. Look how that turned out.

I live about 20 miles from Glamis. There were a buttload of people out on the dunes this weekend.

This is a good idea. There are already several superchargers (thinking of SoCal) where waits can be up to a half an hour just to get a stall, then the charge rate is reduced because there are so many campers getting that free Sunday morning energy. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when the Model 3s start rolling…

“Worst case scenario”? Call me crazy, but this sounds like the best case scenario.

Good to know my car isn’t somehow malfunctioning. I was similarly unsuccessful in trying the new offramp feature.

So much this. I always get the chimes, because I don’t spend my time driving staring at the dashboard. But it’s a mild inconvenience compared to autopilot itself.
