The story really needs a few more numbers. This isn’t 7 out of 52M inflators.

So... in addition to overland rescues, we’re going to see over-water rescues of CyberTrucks?

It’s not just heavy EVs. Every vehicle is guilty of being too heavy right now. Battery weight is certainly not helping, but have you checked the curb weight of an M4 recently? There’s about 50 lbs difference between the Model 3 LR with all its batteries and the “lighter” M4. The less said about the new C63 AMG’s 4600…

I use mine, but really only in circumstances where I’m really displeased, and have time to see it coming. Then 9/10 times, I get the finger. I’ve had the conversation with my Dad, who also doesn’t use his horn, and I’m gradually adopting his way. His point - people don’t care if you honk at them. They perceive no…

That’s mostly automotive myth. If you buy from a good/reliable brand, the first year will be fine. If you buy from a brand with quality issues, you’ll have quality issues in any year. Maybe more in the first, but probably not.

My first thought too.

It’s not a relevant comparison. You don’t wear your seatbelt, it’s largely on you. This is yet another system put in place because we lack the ability to make sure people are doing the right things when they choose to get behind the wheel. Can’t trust the humans anymore, so we have to add complexity to the cars and…

Easy NP.  Always liked the Baja, I just could never find one that was in my price range.  $6500 for one that seems well-kept, and in the best colour combo, is an easy buy.

I would have been shocked if she didn’t say something like that.  She needs to keep the oil-producing province happy.

on Wisconsin’s the entire planet’s fairly lax drunk-driving penalties

Not what I expected on a car blog, but this is very cool nonetheless.  Thanks for this!

All the pickup truck owners with Fuck Trudeau bumper stickers are going to love this.

There are at least 6 times that I think of regularly as a grown adult that I should have died or ended up in jail as a kid. Especially the one time that... waitaminute...

LendingTree analyzed tens of millions of insurance quotes

This is a lot less about Tesla, and a lot more about getting courts familiar with technology that abusive partners use to their advantage. I doubt that you’ll see anything in tech to help change here - tech isn’t big on loopholes that could be exploited by other evil people. I assume it’s more likely that specifics in…

St. John’s isn’t a winter wonderland right now, and likely won’t be until at least after Christmas. Plus, St. John’s is absolutely beautiful, and a worthy destination not deserving of the “I wouldn’t wish” derision it’s given here.

Meh.  I actually don’t give two shits about unions.  But I do know that Fain wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t paying close attention to this.  And it’s obvious that there are financial considerations behind the scenes that Tesla hasn’t needed to consider until the past year or so.

Dealer has priced it thinking it’s the turbo, but they’ve actually got the FWD with 135hp. Weirdly...I think the turbo would actually be more expensive.  So the dealer has no idea what they’re selling.  There’s a PSA in here: Don’t buy a nicer/older car from a dealer that doesn’t know anything about the car. ND.

Yeah... it certainly wouldn’t surprise me. Multi-billion dollar companies usually do a great job of keeping their money though...

It’s probably because he’s a man-child.
