All cars have problems. Even brand new, $300k cars do. The difference is that none of them will tell you “your coolant leak is not covered under warranty” after 35 miles. Then after it blows up online, fixing it and washing the car is also not “above and beyond”. Hell, getting 47% charge and a dirty car during…

Lest you forget that EVs have an enormous reduction in moving and wear parts vs an ICE car.  There is no ICE engine and there is no transmission.  Comparing the two when it comes to maintenance and issues is just not practical.

The first one was such an incredible theater experience (and the second, though not as novel, obviously), that I will definitely give this one the benefit of the doubt.

Last month they gave everyone with a Tesla a free month of FSD(normally it’s $99 per month) and after trying it I can say that calling it full self driving is laughable. It’s so deeply unreliable and makes the weirdest decisions. At no point other than a long straight stretch of highway would I trust it at all, and…

If the iPad Pro ran MacOS, and in turn the application I want that cannot run in iPadOS, I’d go for the iPad Pro for sure. It’s a holy grail device that can be a tablet, laptop, and desktop.

It makes zero sense. The supercharger network is a valuable asset to Tesla, and one of the few selling points for Tesla cars in the current EV market. This isn’t a painful but necessary decision, it’s just Elon throwing a tantrum.

Getting rid of the Supercharger team and (seemingly) some of the new products team seems crazy even for Musk.

Now that is an awesome use of new technology 

Does Apple own the rights to For All Mankind or just license it? Sony Pictures Television actually makes the show. I have no idea how all that works though in the television/streaming industry. I know in the past networks have been more open to canceling shows produced by other entities, rather than in house…

One of the most first world problems of our age. Surely government intervention is needed!

No wouldn’t work. There would have to be a guarantee that the source code provided was actually the source code compiled. Then you have to vet the compiler use to make sure it isn’t made to make programmed substitutions. Then you have to vet the computers that it runs on as well as the OS on that computer to verify…

agreed, but they weren’t prepared or supported. Donald Trump never in a million years thought he was going to lose in 2020. if there’s a second time around, as somoene else said, he’s going to have more of hispeople in control certifying state elections, more of his people in the real military in positions of power,…

Wow wow wow, the irony...

It’s not a stupid premise.

It’s plausible because outside the liberal bastions of California cities, there are plenty of people who would align themselves with the Texas conservatives.

Project 2025 is a fantasy, Trump is degrading faster than Biden at this point.

Biden will Decriminalize Marijuana in two months and take a voting block, Kennedy will run and take votes from Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is actively campaigning to be Trump’s running mate, he won’t choose her, it will be another Pence…

The US Military would be on the paying side of a civil war. You can’t fund toys and pensions by over turning our current form of democracy.

Totalitarian countries aren’t as large as as ours. Russia is but your average sergeant from their military isn’t chilling with disability pay, pension and a pontoon boat and the…

Ahhh nevermind. We clearly have the same line of thinking.

With the current military leadership, the odds of the military backing a coup are low.

The problem is, if MAGA wins the presidency they already have plans drawn up that identify who to replace in the military command. These plans already have people identified so they can do this on day one pretty much. These…

I bought my Maytag Front Loaders in 2008 when we bought our home.

I think Disney squeezed the lemon enough.
