Dolly’s what?

It does hurt the brain. If you don’t look right at ‘em, and just see the blinky in your peripheral vision, it’s perfectly fine.

Oh man, people surely thought I was a complete numbskull when I was trying to cancel a signal in my BMW. No wonder most BMW drivers don’t bother using them. 

I have similar requirements, but I’d be happy with 300 miles of range. Scale the battery pack down, drop a motor (I sure as hell don’t need 800+HP), and make the package a lot less luxe and we’re talking!

I usually find the Tesla/Musk posts entertaining, if only to see the outraged reactions, but even I think this post was excessively bitter.

This. Who the hell wants to drive something that makes so much goddamn noise while going so freaking slow? These things pass me on my whisper quiet bicycle and I just think “How can you stand listening to that infernal racket?”

Man, is he ever going to be embarrassed when friends and colleagues see this video. If he has the sense to be embarrassed, that is.

I see people in overpowered cars (and trucks) every day who prove themselves fully willing to endanger everyone else on the road. There is an epidemic of assholery going on these days.

Echoes of the 737 Max.

Well, level 4 anyway. But I agree with your point, and it’s an important one that gets neglected often. You’re monitoring a system that you expect will intervene, and that extra second or two you wait for the car to take action before you take over can make the difference between life and death.

Making an electric NSX might just give it a new life. I think solid sales numbers for the Taycan show there’s a market for high-performance (not necessarily insane performance) electric cars. 

The trouble with the “days commute” metric is that few drivers actually have an “average commute.” And as has already been noted, if you can plug in at your home at night you don’t care about this number.

There are enough people here on Jalopnik talking about their 5 mile commute to work as if there are no other options than driving. Expensive gas can definitely move the needle on trips like this.

I think the point is the money should have been targeted at maintenance and repair. As it stands, states will probably continue to let existing roads deteriorate and use this windfall to expand the network. This is just making the problem worse in the long run.

Given that pickups have become increasingly the grocery getter of choice of suburban and urban residents, having a truck that’s easy to park in tight spaces is a virtue.

You can’t do parts-bin engineering if you don’t have sufficiently generic parts in the bin!

That voicemail is very on brand for a Trump supporter. 

It’ll just be a marketing tag line. No way that’s a product name.

FSD was only “six months away” when they made that claim, so in that context perhaps it wasn’t hyperbolic at the time. I’m sure Musk deluded himself into thinking the processor was capable, although I guarantee there were engineers working on the project that knew without doubt that the equipment wasn’t powerful…

It was perfectly clear, Elizabeth.
