I think that's just for initial pairing. After that I think you can use it like other proximity keys.

If only it were just chaotic and unorganized.  Most of Trumps tweets are at best exaggerations, and often outright lies when they’re not baseless insults and name calling.

If you are retired, or soon to be, (and to be fair the average new car buying age always seems to be close), then I could see the value of my 401K affecting my plans to purchase a car.

The problem with Trump’s tweets are that they are the outward manifestation of the same shit he’s saying internally. The news isn’t wrong to worry he’s saying same inane shit to the people who work for him, you know, the people that oversee the functioning of the federal government.

This was my thought too. My workplace has been slowly pushing for part time telework options for those of us that can utilize it. Management has been reluctant for all the typical reasons. Now all the sudden that flexibility would be beneficial to them vs the potential alternatives around Covid-19, so maybe we’ll get…

This. They’re not cheap, but they are designed around the LEDs. I put a GE set on my Power Wagon, work great, draw a tiny amount of power for the light they give, and are basically plug and play. The only downside is they don’t look at all stock.

Exactly what I came to ponder.  Loved Farscape.

3rd gear: This is much bigger than just Deere vs Farmers, this has to do with “right to repair” type laws. This is probably one of the most high $$ cases of it, but it extends right down half the stuff in your house too, and we should all be supporting the farmers on this one.

I’m sure they can figure out how to make a car in Britain if they want to.

I think you did a good job of threading that needle. Its tough to argue nuance in the internet age.

I won’t deny the media loves to scare people, but at the same time the US really would not handle a pandemic well, not the least because the number of people who either do not take it seriously (like you), or would not have their “freedoms” restricted just because they’re sick could cause real harm.

Most CEOs score pretty high on the Narcissism scale (like our president), so this is typically the case, it often is well hidden unless they don’t care about you or are put under stress like this.

No, there’s just nothing real out there to actually buy, so it’s all just talk right now.

All Raphael said was that he favored taxing ICEs vice incentivizing EVs. Everyone immediately jumped to arguments that had little to do with reality of what he said and just assumed the worst. Little in life is a yes/no debate, and this is no different. Taxes implemented stupidly could be bad for everyone. I have no…

Buy for the apocalypse? You don’t buy, you go all A-team and build something Mad-Max for that.

But then gas and diesel engines took over and EV development essentially stopped. There were experiments but compared to the billions of dollars a year spent on research into producing better/faster/cleaner ICEs it’s a drop in the bucket.

I’m not starting from the governments point of view. I’m stating that as a fiscally responsible member of said country and government, giving everyone money for doing the right thing is not realistic, and given the choice industry and most people will do whatever is best for them, not what’s best for the planet, the…

The goal isn’t to raise revenue, it’s to influence consumer spending, but giving people something you will eventually take away is far harder than adding an extra cost. The government doesn’t and couldn’t pay you for not killing people, so they create a penalty system to influence you.

No one said you start taxing cars tomorrow, that’s just a straw man.  EVs will continue to come down in price, but at some point when the field is equal there will need to be an incentive to push people to the EVs, that’s where the taxes come in.  It may not even be necessary if gas prices were to climb enough, but a…

No, that’s not how any of this works. A hybrid motor and tiny battery pack are not the same thing as a pure EV, especially not engineered and manufactured to modern automotive standards.
