did you watch the video?

There was a cop literally in the car holding him before they started yelling gun. They were hands on with the guy and then backed away yelling gun so every cop could rain bullets into the car. There was zero attempt to subdue without bullets, despite being in the car and hands on.

The binge also puts people way behind, so it feels like you are either in or out on a show. Instead of having to catch up on a few weeks, it’s takes multiple days to catch up and a lot of people aren’t willing or able. 

Doesn’t Disney cap at like 6-8 episodes for each of those tentpole originals while Netflix (et all) puts out episode counts in the teens for their stuff?

In a family household, I’d argue they remain the best streamer. By far the biggest mixture of adult, teen, and young child content with the biggest variety choose from. For the cinephile, they probably suck. For the people who just want something to distract for some time, they’re perfectly adequate across a huge

Considering how young & small Rivian still is, even a small outfit like that would be a huge cost to them and likely be a loss. They’d have to partner with an camper company and basically sell them the R1T/R1S skateboards. Even then, last I read they were struggling to keep up with the demand of those models.

What’s the point in making all of those awful X6M things if they aren’t going to keep making the cool cars too?

As a teen when F&F first came out, they will forever have a place in my heart.

The last generation of the Mitsubishi’s fast cars. I believe the typical description of that evo was that it was a $40k drivetrain with a free car body on top.

As one of the last of the previous generation, it’s pretty clear she’s also the best writer on staff by a very wide margin

Car passengers can drink alcohol in Connecticut, Delaware, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia, so that 15 passenger van can still be a blast. In Mississippi the driver can drink too. 

I think that will be the next advancement in battery technology, before major increases in density or charge time. Currently, longevity is largely about temperature control while the electrons flow in & out, so it’s a known system that I think just needs a lot of trial, error, and real world data to normalize.

A minivan or SUV that costs less than ~$45k. With a house of 6, a BEV just isn’t a realistic option.

That trend won’t be helped by how many require going up-trim in order to unlock more colors. 

If they or someone they know works there, is the planning all that meticulous? The 2 primary results of a stolen car are joy riding youth (see also: recent Kia thefts) or to use it for a different crime (street racing, drug running).

As much as I’d love to blame tiktok, America had a presidential election over 6 years ago where many middle-aged adults shared fake articles with jarring headings all over social media. Being reactionary isn’t new at all, there’s just more ways to react.

I can’t imagine why an automaker with the output of Tesla is valued sustainably higher than Toyota, Honda, & VW, yet here we are.

While I agree with all of that, it’s not like OEM’s are known for doing anything to dealers that pull that stuff. Legally, they can do almost nothing to them in most states.

It would be painfully on-brand for Tesla to do the good thing of disrupting FOMO in our society for major purchases while simultaneously doing something awful like making a subscription for features common place.
