He made it up. Like most Teslatrope "facts"

How many of those 3500 were actually driving... you know, looking beyond their hood ornament? Identifying and predicting possible conflicts, actually paying attention to their one job?

If the driver had been paying attention, like he was supposed to be, his eyes would have seen it to, and he’d have applied the brakes.

Fair enough

13 over on a 55 in Florida is probably 5-10 mph slower than traffic flow...

I’m sure they’ll say the same next time too

It’s just a minor glitch, they’ll correct it for the next time it happens.  I wouldn’t worry about it.

According to today’s Morning Shift 56% of people are ready to die on the roads in exactly the same manner.

United States police officers can do whatever the fuck they want. In fact if you complain about it too much, they may decide that you’re worth the paperwork and beat/choke/shoot you as a bonus.

Exhibit 1: “the officer pulled in behind the shuttle as it was dropping off passengers”

Exhibit 2: “Unlike Waymo’s driverless taxis in Arizona, the May machines require an operator to be at the helm for the duration of the ride.” 

The second wife 

Can I borrow it for a night. I got a hot date.

I think part of the reason the engine was rebuilt was because he neglected the damn thing.

No.  And he most certainly can not change the original oil or refill the original gas or wiper fluid.

Even if you rebuild the original block?  What else is off limits?  Can he change the brakes, tires, bushes, etc?  

...too soon?

I mean what, 5k for the engine and 1k for the labor at most?

Cost of engine replacement is far less than the cost of a different car.

I use my dog’s name for initial contact, when they call for him I just say he can’t come to the phone, is too busy licking his junk-

Depends on the store. The Tesla Store where I live only emailed me once, and called another time to confirm a test drive appointment.
