I love Tesla news but all of those EV sites (insideevs, teslarati, electrek) have Tesla truck renders that are baffingly dumb and not at all what Tesla has already said the truck will look like. I’d bet a full internet paycheck on the fact that the truck unveiled next month will look like a small version of the Tesla…

26' U-haul truck with a full size car trailer on the back. Drove it from western Arizona to East Texas. Thankfully that was in late fall, so I wasn’t in imminent danger of dying from heat stroke.

I’m with Uber on this one. They don’t owe their drivers anything - not even a job driving. And I think all of the drivers complaining about fair pay are going to change their tune once they have to actually apply to be an employee of uber. Their accounts aren’t just going to transition to employee accounts. They’ll…

I’ve read through most (not all) of these comments, and I haven’t seen any discussion of “the thing” that most people claimed as the reason they didn’t want to buy EVs: range anxiety. The Taycan might be competitive in the 0-60 time, but it loses the LA to Las Vegas time because there is STILL not a charging…

I think this is a good take on what the actual storyline will be - the future isn’t prevented, just delayed. Now, instead of going after the Connors, the future machines go after the Smiths, Ramirezes, Washingtons, etc. Sarah Connor spends her years finding and protecting the mothers of future resistance leaders. She…

I wanted to get the same personalized plate in my current state that I had in another state where I used to live. My state denied it because of some stupid reason. So I just renewed my registration where I came from. I keep my silly vanity plate and my current state can go fuck itself and collect registration fees…

4th gear: Most drivers (including me) benefit from such features. I didn’t realize how aggressively I drove until I let my car do most of the heavy lifting. That being said, these systems are EXTREMELY annoying when they respond to phantom obstacles. Every once in a while, my car will brake suddenly because it thinks…

I can see the appeal here for people who like driving or being driven in nice cars, but don’t want to stand out. For my part, if I could afford a car that everyone wanted to look at, I’d love for it to be painted this color. I’m not a BMW kinda guy, but if I could afford a Lotus Evija this would be one of my top…

I clicked on this story specifically to find out more about that helicopter.

I love Tesla to death, but I absolutely hate the phone as key “feature” of the Model 3. Not only did it take more steps, but the “passive” entry feature worked maybe 50% of the time, even after several updates. Not to mention it meant that I needed to keep bluetooth on whenever I wanted to get in the car, which drains…

In addition to the false equivalencies others have listed, you also have to consider mass transit projects in relation to all of the places Uber is available. The two LA projects listed, for example, cost more than $5 billion, yet service one metropolitan area. All of the projects listed only cover five metropolitan…

This is kind of the same thing they did with Darth Maul. Before Episode I came out, many fans thought he was going to be the prequel trilogy villain because of the amount of hype he got. He ended up getting much more impressive and substantive screen time than Phasma, but it wasn’t to the extent that many fans thought …

Back in 2015, someone did this with their Tesla. Reportedly, Tesla called them two hours later and said “change it back or your car will be cut off from our network.” I’m too lazy to find the article, but it’s on Google somewhere.

I agree with your username, but disagree with your position. 10 / 10 times I will carry on if I can. Not only for the saved 40-50 minutes’ combined time spent checking bags and waiting for baggage claim, but also to avoid the risk of an airline losing all of my clothes for the week (has happened several times), or…

I am a big fan of this episode, and I’m kind of surprised by the hugely negative reaction to it. In a few points:

I am one of the people who think this was foreseeable, both within the context of the show’s history and within the context of the past fewepisodes. I’ve never really liked Dany because she never seemed that interesting to me, but I completely understand what she did last night and don’t see her as the Mad Queen for…

I wish I could give you a small constellation of stars for this comment.

It is also INCREDIBLY difficult to hit a flying, moving target with such accuracy. The first three bolts we saw all hit the dragon. Even with today’s advanced targeting systems with computers worth millions of dollars, that would be impressive. Let’s not forget that, since nothing in GoT flies EXCEPT for dragons, it’s…

This is the third episode of GoT that my girlfriend has watched. Her comment on this was, “but, the show creators control when the battle starts, right? Why can’t they just...move the battle to dawn?”
