Every SUV at least.  Back from whence you came, you abominations!

Not too soon, I hope. Nobody right now is doing a better job of winning voters.... for Kamala Harris.

Per wikipedia the ‘89 Ford Probe she was in didn’t have cup holders but they’d already been introduced on cars by then and were gaining popularity. But I doubt this case had any effect on them becoming ubiquitous. Chalk that up instead to our fast-food drive-through culture.

There is almost no chance that person isn’t a right-wing concern troll. They are peddling exactly the same talking points you’ll hear on any Fox News evening broadcast.

Fair points. Though there are electric cars that aren’t built by Musk.

I think it’s more how one can act when one is already this stupidly rich.  He doesn’t have to care as long as the board and his investors don’t MAKE him care.  He’s going to be rich whether people buy his cars or not.  Maybe not as rich as he is today, but rich enough not to give a shit.

But only 60% of our (the US) electricity generation comes from non-renewable fossil fuels.

I am wagging my finger at Elon Musk because he has presented his solution as an ethical option and his idiot fanboys repeat such claims until they’re backed into a corner (exhibit A, thank you).

But it’s been a common problem, so wondering if it might the cause in this accident isn’t a far reach.

See, you were fine until you went with “fuel source” diatribe, which of course, applies directly to Teslas, because you idiots don’t know how electricity works.

Teslas are definitely not known to have bugs after updates where people can’t open their doors, even with the manual latch

Why was that? Were the doors wedged shut (as can happen to any car) or were they unable to open the doors because Tesla won’t install actual door handles?

I think there have been cases where the vehicle was found at fault but they’ve also usually been mechanical issues, like with the pedal getting stuck down by something.

So if I’m reading you right, none of us should be buying cars capable of exploding in an impact? Also, we need to be sure nothing about the purchase of the vehicle or its fuel source funds any fascist oligarchs, right?  No problem!

This wouldn’t even be the first time.  I mean how many years have they been ranting on and on about George Soros when they’ve got a whole stable of politically active billionaires themselves?  Hypocrisy is pretty much the whole Republican brand at this point.  Vance even added a few more than this one.   Like the time…

But why would you need to enable it??

Yeah, I think JD Power just counts “reported issues” for both its initial quality and long-term reliability charts. I’m sure all the gruesome detail is available if you pay for it, but the overall ratings are worse for ALL EVs, not just Teslas, and it’s likely more because of people being confused about the tech than…

Passive assists are fine. They watch YOU drive the car, something automated systems are far more capable of doing without distraction than the other way around.

Not blaming the woman at all though.

Except for doing all that without needing to enable the system...it does every single thing you just mentioned. What we don’t know is whether Sentry Mode was enabled. The video in the header image appears to be a cellphone video taken of the in-car dashcam viewer app showing a video from the “Recents” folder, as can…
