Oh, you have 900+ HP and the Ferrari test track to yourself? How ‘bout some rain!

Understood. So which manufacturer’s cars steer themselves on the highway again? Because I think not having that would constitute a loss in system performance. And using the ancient tech in conjunction with proprietary software, GPS, ultrasonic sensors and a camera is the special sauce that makes the difference.…

I forget, which other manufacturer has auto steering on the highway in production cars? And how is a self steering and accelerating car not relevant to an article about laws related to self driving cars (in California no less)? Is it that big of a leap mentally to see Tesla’s autopilot as the bridge between driving…

Electric swap...and by swap I mean put some batteries in the big chasm and throw an AC motor between the rear wheels.

That makes sense. I had to put my G37 key in the slot several times, so I thought it was recharging. But admittedly I did not have that car for very long, so it was probably saying “change the battery dummy”.

I’m driving a loaner Tesla with autopilot this week. It’s raining, with tons of spray and glare at night. Still works. The new law would be a speed bump in the road to the inevitable.

So it wasn’t in the key fob charging slot in the lower left dash?

I used to be anti-Uber, but now I think that Uber and cabs both have a purpose. If I need to be at the airport exactly on time, I pick a cab company that I know and trust. The drivers for Uber are extremely hit or miss around here. One Uber guy drove us 10mph under the speed limit on the freeway to the airport.…

Drive unit replacements do not equal failures. Some people were complaining about slight noises, and Tesla is extrememly proactive or even eager to take back some of the early motors for research. Also, the replacements take under an hour and are covered under the 8 year warranty. That being said, it is a legitimate…

Late 90’s Bentley Azure. Add to your British street cred with a car that was over $300k new!

Yeah they eluded to a deal in the articles I’ve read, but if they didn’t get it in a contract they’re quite stupid. Oh well, one less reason to visit Texas.

If you can’t make COTA work, F1 is dead in the US. It’s an awesome spectator track, with a fun city to host it, and reasonable in/out travel. I see a big ass lawsuit against the state coming, rightly so when you build a $300MM complex based on a 10 year deal that lasts 4.

Tesla actually never made the 40kWh car. Anyone with an order for one (about 200 people) were given an un-badged 60kWh car with a firmware limitation on how much the battery could charge. This made it both the most rare and the cheapest Tesla ever made.

My sister had a TT-RS for a while, and she had no idea it was anything special.

Yeah, there’s a used Leaf on a B dealer lot around the corner from me for like 9k.

Do you not own a Letters2Doug@stancenation.flush email address?

This guy is waaaaay too patient. I would have razed the Earth after a week.

I think in this instance, being one of the first major chains to do so, you need to drive the message home that there isn’t any tipping. We know that tipping isn’t optional due to the slave wages servers receive, but it actually is optional by definition in the current system.

Anecdote: The only time I have ever been in Texas, and the only reason I will ever visit Texas, was for F1 at COTA. I spent thousands of dollars on hotels, taxis and restaurants, in addition to tickets and airfare. It’s a great race, don’t screw this up clowns!
