Not this EV owner. I’d take the Lucid and it’s effortless speed any day.

As a Model 3 owner I agree. The headlights have been a non-issue, and the high beams work like any other car. (The newer stalk-less design Tesla is adopting is a different story.)

Beats a plane crash.

Thank you for the eye bleach!

If it shifts automatically, it’s an automatic. A different style than a torque converter auto for sure, but still an automatic.

I can’t believe anyone survived that. Holy crap.

Neither this article, nor the linked one from Vox, said anything whatsoever about making driver training/licensing more like pilot training/licensing. How to demonstrate you didn’t read an article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

How on earth did my parents manage to raise my sister and me with only two rows?

Absolutely spot on. There’s a spot on my commute (the rare time I drive, because I usually cycle) where two lanes merge together at a bridge onramp. It used to be the center line just ended and drivers naturally took turns and merged smoothly.

...lack of maintenance, due to the weird relationship between EV charging companies and the owners of the sites they’re located at.

Seconded. Sue the pants off that company.

JFC, the whole point of a party bus is that you have a designated driver that stays sober.

I looked at the street in StreetView and it seems to me they could just remove a center stripe, allow both side parking, and call it a day. It would look pretty much like every street in my neighbourhood, where most drivers go at a speed reasonable for the conditions.

I think it’s just the free swapping that they’re eliminating. I don’t think they are giving up on the swap entirely.

Yeah, that guy!

I think people know this, but to those who aren’t keen observers I think there’s an impression that Musk and Tesla are so deeply intertwined that what happens to Musk is also happening to Tesla.

Oh, I never heard about his predilection for pre-pubescent girls!

Yokes have been a mainstay in concept cars long before Tesla was a glimmer in Martin Eberhard’s eye.
