Ugh . . . Asian drivers! Amirite?

The guy is building car factories and rocket factories, not cars and rockets.

ok boomer

I realize he doesn’t have an engineering degree, but the man is an engineer in my eyes. As I understand, he helps solve technical problems by offering his insight, just as an engineering manager does. 

This is the Elon I like to see. Less drama, more science, and ....humble?

My time is definitely valuable, and with a full-time job, grad school, 4 teenagers, and big house and yard there are lots of demands on it.  For me, wrenching is a nice change of pace from some of the other things. I hate yardwork, so I pay somebody else for that.  Finally gave up on handwashing my vehicles (have 5…

I wake up at 3:30 am when I do my oil and filter changes so I can do it without the family “helping me”.

Only if you do it all at once, many of those jobs are 1-4 hours, so if you tackled one every month, and maybe the hot ones the first weekend or two you would not be out much time. Heck probably feels better once you are done than the time we often waste on the internet.  And even if you value your time, some of those…

Or, in the case of GM, have the actual tech and resources to do it, but squander those drivetrains and innovations on vehicles/segments that no one really wants.

They need to sell in volume if they want to make a dent. Compliance EVs that sell 20k units per year don’t offset millions of combustion vehicles’s emissions.

In 2020, Tesla’s revenue was about $32 billion and the revenue from the sales of the various credits was $1.3 billion. Not sure how that counts as a “majority”.

They don’t drive enough to make an appreciable difference.

“Jaguar should go back to its roots.”

Not sure that the sidecar market is really there.

I mean.... they surround and beat on a cop car without having any backup by him. What would you expect to happen?

And yet, people are commenting on here that the cop was not in any danger at all, and should’ve just sat there.
Unreal.

I mean, it would have been best if this could have been resolved without injury, but what was the guy supposed to do? 

It’s good old common sense.... “Never corner anything tougher than you.”

There are some after photos out there showing the police vehicle had the back glass completely broken out and some trim torn off. The crowd was not just standing around peaceably singing hymns.

Good thing no one was killed

Based upon videos I’ve seen online of street takeovers, the only difference in this instance is that it’s a police Explorer interceptor running over a spectator rather than a stanced Infiniti G35 losing control while doing a donut. Sick of those idiots giving car enthusiasts a bad image.

Hold up, so you go out doing a street takeover, attack a cop car as a mob, get run over, and the police get shit for it?

I should start doing this. I could totally be a millionaire on the settlement money.
