You’re half right. No need to keep the hands on the controls but a constant scanning/awareness is a must.

Oh yeah? Illinois would like a word with you.

By “redesigned” I suppose that means they made it bigger. As they always do until you have these behemoths that we are forced to share the road with today.

Crackdowns? Where? When? If there were actual crackdowns there would be less of this but Cali.

Leaf.

Price? $39,900 for a new Tesla M3. Range? Overrated. Unless your daily commute is well over 200 miles round trip. Infrastructure? Look around you.

It never was a Democracy. A Democracy is three foxes and two hens voting on what’s for dinner.

Wouldn’t the smart thing be to just let the insurance companies duke it out? Why was she even involved?

I dunno. I can’t tell what my car looks like when I am behind the wheel.

I had a Honda mower for ten years. Other than its mulching capability it was the best mower I ever had. Will probably last another 10 years easily.

Light weight. Cost.

That is an issue that needs clarification. And I doubt that was the intention of the law. Hopefully the courts will decide.

The answer is no. The repo man is not a threat.

So you cite a couple of outliers. The Bolt takes so long because it has a seriously limited charge. Even at level III. I suspect that is the case in the other models you cite.

They needed to open the door and toss him out to the tarmac. And leave him there stunned and bleeding.

With a high output level III charger? Name one.

Those old VW type 3s and Porsche 914s. The battery box was right above a bank of cylinders. The corrosive excrement of those old style batteries would drip down on the rubber elbows connecting the fuel injectors. There was a recall and a repair kit issued.

Not steered with a rudder. Ships and airplanes have rudders. It was steered with a tiller.

“... but one figures it’s still not a pleasant experience for the cows.”

I once made a short hop from Cleveland to Chicago on an L-1011. There were only five passengers including me. That airplane seems even bigger when empty.
