I hope Two Brothers expands to hard seltzers.

Tastes are subjective. I prefer my G&Ts with Polar Diet Tonic. I find the corn syrup or sugar sweetened stuff too cloying now. 

If I were a Tesla owner or prospective buyer, I would be wary of their declining service. Plenty of sales with no investment in expanding service is a recipe for very unhappy current and future customers:

Maybe it’s the dog owner in me, but I wish more effort went into high quality cloth seats.  They take a beating better and clean up just fine.  Dog claws and pleather are not a good mix.

SuperCruise is comparable or surpasses FSD. FSD is overhyped garbage from what I’ve seen of it.  I do agree that people buying Teslas are cross shoping with luxury vehicles. Teslas aren’t cheap by any stretch. A nice BMW 3 or Audi A4 are likely comparable in price to a Model 3.

Need the Jalopnik staff to pull a Defector.

Generally useful to check sites like CR for general reliability. I don't think it's as actively maintained, but Truedelta.com has been a great resource to consult on user reported problems with makes and models. 

Interesting local price differences. Here in the burbs of Boston I paid $4.49 for the Dunks eggs yesterday and the Bucks sous video eggs are $4.65.

New England. In a two hundred year old house that's up to modern code with wiring. 

Really?  That’s not that long ago for things to not be up to a modern code.  

I’d say government regulations are the real big push.  I don’t think anybody would make EVs if there weren’t mandates coming in our subsidies to prop up America’s largest maker.  I don’t think China needed Tesla to kick start it’s EV industry.  Hell, Tesla is using batteries made by a Chinese company now.

I had that synchro fail issue on a 2001 Protege.  I have a 2009 Mazda 3 that I daily and haven’t had any problem with the MT.  I also happen to be 6'4" and find it to be plenty roomy.  Just don’t put anybody in the back seat behind you that is tall.

That’s a big market tease.  Tune in next week for the shocking conclusion to this epic tale!

You’re no more than 10 minutes away from a Dunks in Eastern, MA.

Plus Rhode Island’s official drink is Coffee Milk.  Autocrat makes sure we start them young!

I used to do the Providence to NYC train ride a few times a month.  Just so easy to get dropped off right in the heart of Manhattan and walk or subway to the days meetings.  Driving was a nightmare and the flight deals with driving, security, and then landing pretty far from where the action is.

She’s thirsty, she’s drinking:

I completely agree. Moreover, what if the wifi goes down or a software update temporarily bricks the thermoststa? And won't companies be incentivized to force you to upgrade the thermostat every so often? And of course, the incentives include the ultimate perk of letting the utility company control the temperature in…

I unapologetically love the Aries K car.  Probably because it was the first car I drove once I got my license.  Loaded with crank windows and AM only radio.  

I don’t know about Telsa.  They might just pull a fast one with the software you think comes with the: https://jalopnik.com/tesla-remotely-removes-autopilot-features-from-customer-1841472617
