He likely has the previous generation model X so he couldn’t setup his phone as a key via bluetooth. His key was probably out of battery or broken. Using internet is just a backup emergency method Tesla can open or start the car for you remotely.

You don’t need the internet. You can open and start the car using bluetooth to your phone (doesn’t require cell service on either device), using the key card, or the key fob. There are three different options to drive the car, all of which don’t require internet. I think the problem is the user here. 

It doesn’t. Remote unlock over the internet is a fallback entry method, not the primary. The problem is he broke his key fob... apparently somehow this is Tesla’s fault?

It’s like the current GOP can literally not find a public policy issue to not take a regressive and backwards stand on. I’m half expecting a GOP candidate to come out and publicly demand that NASA admit to covering up the fact that the earth is flat. Or that it is, in fact, the center of the universe.

Ha. Texas has unlicensed concealed carry. Being gay (not gay marriage, just being gay) was illegal in Texas until 2003. Since that was outlawed on the same precedent as Roe, Texas is trying to overturn that. Texas had Gomer before MTG even knew about Q. Georgia wishes they were Texas

He started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and thought “Man that Larry David’s got a great look!”

I’m very sorry, my sympathies. Last month I passed a very bad accident and rubber-knecked a bit. The next week I found out it was one of my great friends, hit head-on by a driver fleeing the police who shot up the wrong direction on a one way HOV lane. It all hurts.

Not nearly as often as Michael Che plays it on his cell phone right before he and Jost does "Weekend Update..."

I knew he was a Republican before even reading the story. If its stupid redneck dumbfuckery? Gotta be a Republican.

Having just lost a friend to a drunk driver last night, I would very much like to tell Mr McKay that he can go to hell

Don’t forget about Marjorie Taylor Greene being a House rep for Georgia. 

That cover photo makes me really want Joaquin Phoenix in a Gargamel origin story

Kind of surprised to see the Gen 7 Civic on here. I never owned one, but it I did drive a few - and it was a decent, fun, light, reliable car.

Omgod the stuffy old racist thinks rules shouldn’t apply to him holy shit.

Does Kinja seriously no longer allow embedding YouTube videos? Is there a single soul even developing Kinja anymore?

Eh, lots of people in the area likely live there because there is nothing there.

Ah, but there’s the rub. The *point* is that there is nothing. And once there’s *something*, it’s harder to say no - then it’s just a race to the bottom. Farm stands become fast food and empty fields become houses. Planning is about more than one parcel of land and this year - it’s the entire region and decades into…

Back in the day we’d fight over the one computer in the class so we could play Munchies.

You misunderstand, the Wikipedia quote is to illustrate that Pong came out after the Oregon Trail’s first version.

2021 version: you died of a vaccine preventable disease because you don't understand the wealth of information at your fingertips.
