So, how you weight-reduce an EV (for a given range) is, you reduce the energy consumption as much as possible.

If lawyers always agreed on matters of law, we wouldn’t need courts. I can see where Lehto is coming from, but I think it’s pretty clear that the intent of this law was to penalize intentional dishonesty, not unintentional mistakes.

We have it all the time with my mil and she STILL gives out info to randos on the phone. We finally had to put alerts on all her accounts to my husbands phone. I hate these mf so bad,if one more agent from social security calls me Im a hunt them down and brick them.

Ford doesn’t own an interest in Mazda anymore.

Mazda doesn’t need a proprietary charging network. I could see them easily installing DC fast charge stations at each dealership, but Tesla is the only one with a charging network that can only be used by Teslas. 

The reason that the lawyer you spoke to for this article takes this position is because Steve Lehto is an attorney in Michigan who handles these kind of cases.

Presumably these (and the white trucks) are assets of the solar business.

I get it, I do (I’m an attorney and if not a car guy, at least car guy-adjacent). And I know and respect Steve Lehto from his many articles (and I think we may even have emailed about one of them). But in this case, I only see actionable negligence and not a violation of the MSVRA. Failing to adequately tighten the…

Because these costume hire places have existed, some of them, for a hundred years, so their collections are just astonishing. They’re like museums.

It is not designed to punish ordinary negligence in “oh, we changed your oil, but did it poorly.” One represents a fraud on the customer, the other is just negligent.

And in this case the court was right. There was nothing unfair or deceptive about forgetting to tighten the lug nuts, what was just negligence. In this case the mechanic *did* actually rotate the tires, he just did a shitty job at it.

My grandma opens the door for no strangers. She hangs up the phone on anyone who isn’t family. Everyone needs to have this talk with the older folks in their lives.

Off topic: Don’t use Legal Zoom for shit, especially if you think about starting and LLC or corporation. I worked for the state of Delaware in the Corporations division. We have the largest number of LLC’s and Corps in the world, and we had more people who filed with Legal Zoom and were not notified when taxes where…

Catherine the Great has to be a dream project for a costume designer, and it’s also a tall order thanks to the astounding and timeless work Travis Banton did for Marlene Dietrich as (young) Catherine in The Scarlet Empress.

A possible statement for decent human beings in response to Donnie’s escalating word vomits,

Miss Lindsey needs to shut his entire ass up. So help me Black Jesus, someone please out that craven motherfucker soon.

THANK YOU!!! HE’S DEFLECTING Y’ALL! By all means, drag his ass for this comment, but keep in mind his real goal is to bury what Bill Taylor is testifying to UNDER OATH today!!

Trump is a troll and his language is going to get ever more hysterical as the walls close in. He’s freaking because William Taylor is testifying in the impeachment inquiry.

With apologies to Billie Holiday.

“Overqualified” is a euphemism for “too old.”
