“ sacrifices they are making in drivability and power in the name of efficiency.”

The title suggests the stop itself was not warranted (it was), but the article itself clarifies author didn’t think “traffic stop that’s never really about speeding the first place.”

Quick question: have you or your passengers have ever been pulled out of the car and searched for a speed violation?

Right, but the cascade that led us to this point is still interesting.

It involved initial contraction followed by increased demand, which then caused scarcity that is not caused by plants capacity but weird convergence of when sales reporting is done (Q2 and 4) and when volume projections for semi-conductors are…

All of them at once?
How many times you’ve had a battery die? 

It’s a different point of failure with different redundancies.

In a Tesla, if the battery gives out = you’re out. C’est tout. It’s been a problem including for firefighters.

When a door handle gives out = you can still use a different door handle (or crawl in through trunk) and troubleshoot from there. You’re never…

Boris government can’t honour binding international agreements his own government signed, so this means even less than it would from usual politician liars. 

Despite your comment on ambient temps, you might want to reconsider going through Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The hillclimbs might kill the car, but the sights will be amazing. I’m sure getting to the wedding before it ends is an important part of the trip, but you’re going to be so close to some of most…

Huh. All my life I thought US was using different octane, and it’s just (as is tradition) different standard.

For others who made the same mistake: https://www.etuners.gr/fuel/

Pretty sure he was going off the same definition youtubers and my grandma do:

joke, noun, shitty situation or remark you didn’t think others would call you out on.

No preference for setting as user, but 100% seat-side from POV of car owner.
As in I’d genuinely prefer a system of blood pressure bulbs, and whathaveyou as long as they’re coming out of the seat.

Seats are a distinct module, as are the cockpit elements. All of which are then assembled by the car “manufacturer”. By…

Shameless click-bait, but it works...
Came in with a sinking “Oh no... Not my Davy... Hope it’s just a rant about discovering he can’t read sheet music”. If it weren’t for gullible mfs like myself, this wouldn’t be done...

Bonus point for extracting out the bands he listed though, so some of us mayo munchers can catch…

By his next reply I thought not banning them was a mistake, as clearly nobody could state that idiotic rant in earnest. ...right?

And then I decided to check out their history, expecting a gleeful troll just baiting people.
They’re the perfect allegory to subject of this article. A catastrophy /fire you can’t look away…

>a raccoon infestation

Now this here is a Probletunity.
Syndicate a spinoff of that Madagascar spinoff penguins show, except we follow a ragtag team of Raccoon infiltrators who aim to engage in espionage as independant contractors. Straight to Youtube to get it to the real spenders: 6-9 yo’s with tablets and…

All that noise about not being an established Automotive company?

Yup, this kind of thing right here. Stuff looks neat on paper and in presentations for/by execs, and on each step until assembly it changes multiple times over. Everyone is at capacity, but also everyone has stoppages and shortages, but also needs to…

As if it wasn’t enough that service workers ostensibly lost the chance for any improvement to their working conditions, now they are expected to risk their lives while they risk their lives.

And as if it couldn’t get any worse, I just remember US cashiers are the only in the world who need to stand through their…

The kind of people who end up whose garage inevitably ends on a liquidation sale, it’d seem.

Loving the many utilities of a stalk indicator withOUT automatic preset number of blinks, I was balking at some early points, and each time the very next sentence addressed it.

For those who want direct comparison:
4series GC (5door) is BMW F36
3series GT (5door) is BMW F34

More than anything, the F34 got Multipla-levels of hate on bimmer forums, so F36 seems to be a replacement to it, not just an alternative to mess with people doing due diligence. 

What minivans are you talking about? For minivan usability you’ve got to reach for US-exclusive monsters, probably more among pickups. The ones that don’t even quality as light commercial vehicles in Europe, but as commercial trucks.

SUVs rely largely on compact part bins, compact interior space, and with many recent…

I live in a country where pre-tax, McD pays ~$4,62 (guess how much minimal wage is ;-) ). So $4,08 after tax.

They’ve already stuffed as many self-ordering panels as will fit without obstructing communications flow. So there’s no minimum wage level that’ll PREVENT them from using as much automation as they can get…
