We’re talking about a topic that doesn’t have a conclusion here. There’s a very well-defined effect that EMP has on electronics, but the social and economic ramifications as well as secondary effects of a large scale EMP are vast, unintuitive, and constantly evolving.

It’s called belt and suspenders. The energetic in the inflator was reformulated to use a different oxidizer instead of the potassium perchlorate which is well-known to cause solid propellants to become sensitive when exposed to moisture. They also added dessicant to the energetic in case it’s exposed to moisture even…

Go on...

Better =/= good. My complaint is not with the devices being mandated, it’s with the devices having an obvious flaw that needs to be corrected. How hard would it be for the device to REQUIRE the car to be stopped before it allowed the test to be initiated? We’re talking about a device that’s already hard-wired into…

Miami Blue is a current offering from Porsche that takes on a similar teal color in depending on the lighting. That’s not what this is, but if you don’t want to pay for a custom color, Miami Blue is a close second to this.

It’d probably get him to stop suing them.

You forgot one record. No quarterback had thrown 5 interceptions in the first half of his first career start ever.

This. Even if I don’t wipe my feet when I get home at the end of the day, I make damn sure I don’t track mud into someone else’s house.

Reading comprehension. Someone who was irresponsible enough to end up with a DUI in the first place is clearly not responsible enough to follow the manufacturers recommended steps which starts off with “pull your car over before starting the test.”

Doubt it. If you disagree with them, they’ll just assume you’re a libtard and they never had your vote to begin with. If you present a factual indictment of the idea, they’ll just write it off as fake news and liberal propaganda. There is no getting through.

Not exactly. They’re expecting someone that wasn’t responsible enough to call a cab when they were shit-faced to be responsible enough to pull off to the side of the road when the device initiates a running test.

Oh shit. You don’t think The Stif and James May are neo-Nazi’s do you?

Honestly, I think it depends. I buy local first when it comes to a lot of things. Locally grown food, restaurants, craft beers, furniture, artwork, etc. The fact that these support my local economy, drive up local tax revenue, and generally make my town better to live in for others is pretty cool to me. But I don’t…

I mean, industry experts have been advising against this shit ever since it was first brought up in the campaign and they’ve only gotten louder. But industry experts can’t make him listen and unfortunately the only people that ultimately get to vote on this don’t have enough of a grasp on global economics to even…

Can still vote? Fuck, they can still run for and hold office.

The base Civic LX starts at $18k, so it really is about 10k less than a base Model 3 or Bolt after the tax incentive. And other than dual-zone climate control, it’s pretty much equivalently equipped as well. Soooo.... Yeah, there is a 17 grand difference without the incentive.

Every one of them? The model 3 and bolt both start at several thousand more than equivalently equipped civics and corollas even after the tax breaks. With the tax breaks, they’re right about on par with equivalently equipped hybrids.

Let me just go park my car at the mall for a while every week. Sounds convenient.

This! The original Roadster was practically a fancy college project using a borrowed chassis as essentially a test bed for their EV tech that they built in a warehouse and somehow got approved to sell (obviously not intended to be a completely fair critique). This is a bespoke design using relatively mature technology…

Two things. First, Musk has straight up said that there will be a new Roadster just a few weeks or maybe months ago (busy times, so time is kinda blurred for me right now). The actual reveal was kept secret, sure, but he hasn’t tried to hide the fact that they 100% intended to make one. Second, with their skateboard…
