One of my favorite professors would tell of being demobilized after WW2 along with several million of his closest friends. As he put it, he “could put a mortar round into an oil drum at 100 yards, but there weren’t many openings for that at General Motors.”

QC is itself fallible. If indeed there are only a few to several affected vehicles out of a possible 23,000 it isn’t surprising that they got through. In fields that require truly comprehensive QA of every function and part of every unit of a big complicated machine, the products are priced accordingly.

They didn’t. He worked on 23,000 vehicles. So far, only 3 have been found with loose bolts. Click-baity headline reduces reading comprehension.

This is more a QC issue at the plant than a worker issue.

The worker was quoted as saying, “Whoopsie.”

Its ok Florida should be returned to Spain as soon as possible. 

Similar recent crash, in Texas -

The problem with trains is their path is so unpredictable, so often swerving at random.

There are actually a lot un ungated crossings with nothing but a sign that account for most of them, but going around the gates was just asking for it.

“The driver then drove around the gates”

My wife is also a woman. Glad to know there’s another guy out there like me. /s

Agreed. I was going with a Metro-North pass and an Uber credit.

If she lives in NYC her car is going to be contact parked into oblivion. She should keep her money and her current shitbox. She should also seriously consider taking the train to Westchester. In theory it takes twice as long but traffic says otherwise.

I’m calling fake, we all know from the movies that any vehicle that goes over a cliff immediately explodes into a nuclear grade fireball often while still in midair. 

“The trio then attempted to hike their way back to civilization, but only one of the party made it to his destination. One of the men climbed up to the road and hitchhiked back home. After not being able to contact the other two men the following day, he finally reported the crash to police.”

EV tech isn’t remotely where it needs to be right now. As it stands, the greenest option for someone who can charge at home is a PHEV. Someone who can’t do that can’t live with an EV regardless. Plus, the emissions and difficulty behind EV battery production means we will need to damage the environment heavily in the…
