I have a fun story about this. I was tasked at a different job to review a test report. Actually, my task was to route it for review, not perform the review. One of the experts came back with questions and comments, that I addressed.

This is exactly what first should be electrified: any vehicle that runs the same limited route, day after day, and returns home to recharge each night. Every mail truck, school bus, city bus should be an EV ASAP.

For something as essential and utilitarian as a postal truck, it’s nice that appearance was the least important factor and they went all in on function. Hopefully, the reliability is just as good as the form factor.

Another brilliant move by Elon! He invented a car so safe that even people who break in don’t get hurt!

You can’t be that dumb. The clear issue here is not that they’re fixing it. It’s that they’re not admitting it’s broken to begin with.

Or hear me out, you don’t NEED to bring your dog everywhere you go, service animals excluded. If you are going somewhere that doesn’t allow dogs, leave it at home. If you are just popping into the gas station for literally a couple of minutes, assuming you have been driving and the inside is cool, crack the windows…

Realistically the speed of the steering is fine and it’s not so much lag (or in other words, a response delay) as it is the operator is able to move the steering wheel faster than the steering rack can actually move. In a conventional steering system you’ll meet some resistance in the steering wheel that prevents you…

Speaking as an accountant (no i don’t work for the auto industry), there was probably a choice to be made by the executives. Either cut the expenses on the buttons, or cut some jobs, or cut some other costs. 

Everyone knows that you have to caulk the wagon first.

If enough people switch to EVs, gas demand should go down, keeping the price reasonable (unless the government slaps mandates on that too - then it’s black market time).

Wanna save combustion engines? There’s a way...

It’s almost like both things can be true at the same time because people have different needs/wants for their cars. Imagine that!

I mean we all don’t have to choose 1 thing and 1 thing only. We can have options. The main goal should be to cut the amount of people needing to drive in to work everyday and eliminate Traffic jams as much as possible. Rush hour should be a thing of the past, but I don’t know why leadership is totally against these…

I recently read a comment on Instagram about how American cars were built so much better in the ‘80s (it was a discussion about the C4 in comparison to more modern Corvettes) and my eyes nearly fell out of my head and I wanted to ask just how many lead paint chips the commenter had eaten back then.  Your experience…

Which is a shame, because the SC series cars they replaced, while inexpensive, didn’t kill you with the cheap. They weren’t pleasant per se, but they were a good value for the price point.

The Rise of the Resistance attraction is fucking awesome.

I took it more as: Yeah, that probably happened.

I never would, but I found myself in a quandary the other day - I was looking at a BMW iX because it was so hideous; the owner saw me and I somehow wanted to make him understand that I was not admiring his car but the opposite, but I didn’t want to be rude or make him feel bad. In the end I diplomatically did the…

No matter what you think of the truck or anyone who buys them, yelling profanities at him, giving the guy the finger and spitting on/scratching his property makes you as bad if not worse of a person.

Yeah, and tied with the oh-so-coincidental fact that he’s a business owner, color me suspicious.
