Call me crazy but you shouldn’t NEED to be able to trace specific security leaks back to Musk to take action. Regular communication with a hostile foreign power should be enough to forfeit government contracts. 

Both sides are not the same. Go fuck yourself.

I somewhat agree with you, but at this point the Republican party is, in fact, evil. Democrats aren’t saints, but at least they do police their own in a way that the Republicans simply DON’T anymore.

“Even if you skip the actual definition of free speech as defined in the 1st Amendment and later interpreted in landmark court cases such as Brandenburg v. Ohio, and you go with Elon’s version, he’s still a hypocrite.”

Now go buy a Tesla and try to convince yourself you’re not contributing directly to Donald Trump’s campaign. And Stan is going to come on here with all kinds of rationalizations, CEOs probably contribute to all kinds of things you don’t agree with, bullshit. This is completely different. This man is the largest threat…

So like everyone was saying: The problem with EV’s is affordability with the added spice of Toyota’s PR department since they missed the bus.

Oh we're concerned about unsustainable incentives? I have some exciting news about your free parking and free roads then!

This wasn’t even a police chase, makes this even more senseless.

I wonder if some perception of EVs is additionally colored by behemoths like the Cybertruck. Yes, it’s an EV, but it -feels- like an 8000 SUX.

“Drug dealers have cool cars”

So if I am ever speeding in Irvine, the best way to lose the cops is to drive through a carwash?

As a 40 year resident of Irvine, this surprises me. Kids are driving Cybertrucks to school here, so I doubt that a student being forced to sit through a DARE presentation will be all that impressed. As noted in the post below, just take a car from the drug seizure lot and be done with it.

Since when does a police department actually pay for a “community engagement” vehicle? Around me they’re all either cars seized from drug dealers or free surplus MRAPs.

That whole McDonalds story is a tremendous example of how a corporation would prefer to dump money into PR than actually do the right thing after they screw up because they deemed the PR cheaper. 

Why do automakers insist on installing electrically powered doors? Just give us manual door locks like we’ve had forever. They work. They are easy to fix. They don’t require idiotic emergency levers. Stop overcomplicating things that work perfectly fine.

I really don’t understand why this is legal. Every trunk is required to have a glow in the dark handle that can open it from the inside at any time but for some reason it’s okay for normal ass doors to just become unopenable under common emergency situations.

SpaceX isn’t exploring space, it’s dumping a bunch of shit in low earth orbit. We went there in the 1950s. 

There was until the OTA wipe request got sent from Austin.

There is a problem making a direct correlation of increased pedestrian deaths with larger vehicles unless the data directly shows that deaths are only occurring when larger vehicles hit legal pedestrians.

Most, if not all, have recommendations from the manufacturer in the manual, as well as reminders within the charging software re: how to maintain battery health. As you’ve suggested, it’s usually as simple as setting max charge to 80% and not dropping below 20%. People like to make things seem difficult.
