Would a plugin drivetrain help with the gas efficiency in these things?

The RV industry is poised for major disruption. They are currently all made in Indiana basically, and very poorly.

Meanwhile, if/when self driving becomes a thing, and with housing prices continuing to skyrocket, 5G internet/starlink, fold-out…

Of course I don’t know the specifics of Texas civil law, but the original lawyers post seemed to indicate they have extensive information on family holdings at the time of the accident, so I would say the old “we don’t have money your honor” accounting trick won’t hold water.

Depending on how rich the cyclists are, they should keep the family in court hell as long as possible to get as much money as possible.

Probably each rider should file a civil suit separately. The ones that need the money can settle. The ones that don’t can draw it out for a long time, and still end up with a lot of…

The number of plaids sold won’t be significant in the supply. And pure-EV must be industrially developed.

But the 60-100 mile range PHEV is definitely something that should be aggressively pursued industry wide. It will bridge the development time for charging infrastructure, fully electify 95% of consumer trips, and…

I don’t want a NHTSA circlejerk approval process holding up any automaker’s software updates. Sure it would be nice if there was some oversight as to the quality of self-driving software, security holes, and the like, but NHTSA doesn’t have the technical expertise to handle software.

The government will likely be ten…

I recall some mod where they had to put like 2-4 extra car batteries in the trunk to get it to run. I sat there wondering how long the car batteries would last to keep the car running, because if the existing alternator can’t keep up with what they did, then how does adding car batteries help if you drive more than an…

Editors cost money and also annoyingly resist changes to executive money grabs like popup ads. Well, I’d say ethics but MSM has basically abandoned ethics.

Do sports car makers regularly tweet about their 250 mph cars being driven recklessly? Does Jeep chastise its drivers about driving offroad destructively? Does BMW chastise its entire customer base for being tailgating assholes on highways?

Funny, no.

Nary a mention of how they will develop the software. Just because you put a bunch of sensors on a car doesn’t give it semi-autonomous capability.

The short answer is that they won’t make their own software. They are going to piggyback on others for that, for better or worse.

This site pillories Musk for overclamining…

1) sell more expensive vehicle

Hybrid Electric drivetrains deliver more torque and will soon be very desireable hickgear once someone wins a tug or war with an electric F-150

Roll Coal is assault, per the DA. Assault is intent to harm.

“If you want to maintain trust in the law”

Um, sir, this is TEXAS? 

This will be a fun cross examination:

But if the sheriff thinks that, then who’s going to chase the Dukes through the swamp?

This is the only situation in our justice system where “good” happens: local small town corruption meets affluent white money.

I see a Cervelo P2, at least three Zipp wheels (2 grand apiece), Oh got, that pink bike is hard to tell, but that super flat bar is probably a Cervelo P5, and that probably has zipps.

If that stuff has electronic shifting, you might be right, those could be 15 grand bikes each, no joke.

Translation: those aren’t just…

“The driver of the black F-250 that crushed our clients’ bodies and left them and their bikes splashed and scattered across the roadway is a 16 year old Waller, Texas male. Through our own investigation, we’ve learned his name, his address, the names of his parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors and family…

Make sure to plow over a bunch of delicate mountain vegitation, trigger a landslide, and, oh yeah, burn as much gas as possible while being “outdoorsy”.

Fucking jeep people.

Is it iconic? Instantly recognizable? Does it deliver a novel driving experience? Is it groundbreaking in its technology? Did it bring a technology to an entirely new demographic? Is it historically significant? Polarizing/controversial/opinionated?

Wow, it fails on practically all standards of forgettableness.

Not even…
