You can also read someone’s car. Dented to crap, missing a few hub caps with fast food wrappers piled up high enough to block the rear window. Or the car billowing enough smoke to qualify as mosquito defense and the driver keeps reaching for something on the floor? Those cars have the potential to do something very…

In short, although the journalism industry may distinguish between advanced investigative news pieces and automated or unchecked opinion pieces, most people do not, and we do not expect them to.

I agree in theory, but disagree in practice. The reality is most people who drive these vehicles will test the features and as they get comfortable they use them inappropriately. You can tell them the car can’t drive itself, BUT when their experience is that the car can in fact drive itself they are going to let it do…

This blind allegiance is a sad commentary on peoples inability to think critically and actually reason to an opinion.

This!
And I was also taught: try not to drive such that my safety depends on other drivers doing the right thing.
So, for example, if I need to turn left on a busy road, but the road is icy, and there is a car on my bumper, and one behind them, etc. and it’s getting dark, but only gloaming, some lights on, some lights…

Well according to many of the boomerific facebook commentariat, these are all still coal powered (even though coal only accounts for an ever consistently shrinking percentage of power production).

Texas Mode engaged: Attack Cyclists

lmao. Musk is on the wrong side of history in many ways but this isn’t one of them. I would say Musk is justifiably miffed that his company, which is essentially the sole reason for this massive shift to EVs, is left out of the conversation.

The powers that be at Jalopnik ran the analytics and found that anti-Tesla/Musk articles drive clicks.

Whatever Pedo Guy.

I also find it amusing how there are always 10x “cue the Elon cult” comments to 1 actual Elon stan.

Elon Musk: “Thanks this made a difference”

electric Blackwood/Mark LT

Maybe if you shitheads bought them in the first place it wouldn’t have been an issue. GM can’t make a competent sedan to compete in entry segments, and barely make one in the luxury segment. What makes you think people will be rushing out to buy a rebadged Malibu over a Camry? Because it’s “sporty” with cladding and…

Um, shoudn’t they first resurrect the Holden?

EV infrastructure for premium buyers is already good to go- it’s just the owners’ garages.

Frankly, this is the right play by Lincoln. Aside from Tesla’s supercharger network, the EV infrastructure’s still pretty shit. Beyond that, though, right now everyone that isn’t BMW and MB are trotting out electrification plans to try getting attention to themselves. Jaguar’s still shouting they’ll be all electric by…

I think Ford would be happy if someone STARTED a conversation about Lincoln. 

Q: How do you get an American against an idea? A: Tell them they’re doing it somewhere else.

You’re damn right that Norway should be proud of their fjords, Slartibartfast won an award for them!
