“buy ICE cars which never catch on fire after an accident”

The alternative headline for this should be “Tesla catches on fire after accident like every other car can, killing two people, but even though there were probably a dozen other car accidents last week alone where the car caught on fire, we’re reporting on it…

Assuming the unintended acceleration was the cause, just gives me another reason to only want vehicles with mechanical connections for everything possible. I’ve had a car continue to accelerate on my twice in my life. I just turned the key off and continued braking 🤷‍♂️

Don’t buy these deathtraps under any circumstances. They’re unstable, dangerous, and buying one simply funds a fascist oligarch.

Yea but then you’d have to have it on you. Im guessing this woman left her bag in the car which had her key. Not sure where her phone is and why it wasn’t working as the key though. Maybe her phone was in her purse and the car lost connection with it, thinking she had left the car, hence locking the doors.
Frankly, I…

I would argue that the appearance is a feature, not a bug. For a vehicle aimed at such a dedicated use, having an unusual look is a big plus. You immediately know what it is, and you have a good idea of what it is likely to do. Sometimes I come up on the white vans that USPS is using now and I don’t know just it’s…

It’s possible she was in this state of mind due to some bad medicine, but Jon told her he’d be there for her, asked her to lay her hand on him, and he helped her over the edge by keeping her in these arms.  Keep the faith, he instructed.

I had to go to our local equivalent of the DMV this morning. While there, I had the pleasure of listening to a guy at the counter refuse to understand for nearly 20 minutes that he had to pay his parking fines in order to renew his license plate. Let me say I hate the “DMV” and all the regulatory nonsense they enforce…

Big pickup truck from NJ in Brooklyn. Disproportinately violent response.

You can literally see the man enter the truck at the begining of the video. You mostly described the tow truck operator... good job.

Not to mention gutting the Supercharger team right on the cusp of a massive expansion opportunity. The charging network is the reason Tesla was so successful with early adopters, and is one area where the company still really shines.  Muskrat finally convinces other automakers to use his charging standard, people in…

Too bad that nicotine addicts only care about their next fix. I’ve seen several neighbors evicted because they just couldn’t walk the 2 minutes off property to smoke. Covid was the best way to cull that part of the herd.

Yep, people are getting more dickish on planes because there’s hardly ever consequences.  A few stories about those dicks being banned from flying and having to pay tens of thousands in fines will put a hard stop to the problem pretty fast.

I always found it a little funny that vapers just expect that they can vape anywhere they want.  Like I can’t talk since I smoke, but I tried vaping for a while and even then I still never wanted/tried to do it somewhere you couldn’t smoke.

I don’t think he gives a shit about the sell-off being a brave move. He’s seen the writing on the wall and is abandoning ship before everyone else does.

Thanks for the daily reminder of how much Amazon sucks and U should avoid buying anything from it at all costs.

You could be right, I haven’t driven in that area before, though I have through socal before. But being from Texas, if you are driving out into west Texas depending on where you are you NEVER let yourself get below a half tank, from googling the area where this gas station is 100% same rule would apply.

I was 100% going to say the same thing. That’s just poor planning if you end up needing to stop there. If you are heading in to that general area and DON’T stop to fill up, in say Barstow, you are just dumb.

Its the same situation at the Needles outpost

Supply and demand, baby. Same price structure on cruise ships and movie theaters. And in defense of the gas station, a little pre-planning with fueling up before driving into the desert and traveling with plenty of water is simple common sense.
