With any luck, in 50 years when most vehicles are EVs (a premise I generally disagree with, I think it’ll take longer), the highways will have chargers embedded in the pavement so you can charge while you drive. They’re experimenting with that technology in Detroit right now.

Apparently people were getting calls, three days after Helene ruined their homes, from people interested in buying the property. For some reason people just don’t care. Won’t care until Miami literally crumbles into the ocean, and even then they’ll probably just relocate to Ft Lauderdale.

I was looking at helicopter footage of the traffic jam and they’re not using both sides of the highways. People can still drive south in Florida. They need to restrict southbound traffic to just one lane so the other 2 lanes can be used for northbound overflow.

Oh god, please let this be true. I love it when Tesla absolutely falls on its face during press events.

Ehhhh. It’s his wife’s car for hauling the kids around. When you’re as rich and famous as Zuck, I’d think you’d want your family to stay as low-profile as possible. I’m 99% sure all pics of his kids have emojis over their faces; a neutral-colored minivan is probably in the same vein. There’s a reason rich people have…

This post includes a statement from Geico saying that Tesla offers private insurance for CT owners.

I had to use the parking brake a couple weeks ago while in reverse - I was backing into my parking spot at home but the brake suddenly failed. Granted I was going, like, 3mph, not 100, but I was able to use the e-brake before shifting into park.

When I worked in clothing retail, I (an introvert) would beg to spend large chunks of my shifts managing inventory and dressing the store, rather than aggressively upselling our customers. One day I was reorganizing the stock room and uncovered an entire box of beautiful dresses that I’d never seen before, not even on…

Can’t wait until they bring the simulator to the public, and the public overwhelmingly looks the other way and ignores the people evading fare. When the choices are “let someone jump the turnstiles” or “open fire in a crowded, confined space,” the answer is obvious to everyone except the goddamn police.

People in the Rust Belt are aware of the consequences of not washing their cars during the winter. We’ll just need an extra couple reminders from the dealer or manufacturer when winter begins.

I’m guessing it’s sort of like a drag race, where people gather to do illegal stuff with their cars, but instead of racing on an open road, they’re finding empty parking lots to do donuts & other stunts in. I live close to a strip mall with a gigantic (and crumbling) parking lot, and sometimes at night I hear tires…

Apparently there’s something about the purity of the quartz from this particular mine that makes it especially desirable.

It is, and it’s been making the rounds at car shows since last year, but it’s too expensive for what it is. It’s cute, but not affordable enough for the people who would buy a tiny EV and too small for people who can afford an EV but need more space for their family. I mean frankly it’s just too tiny, period, unless…

I know this is a rare case, but it’s a real bummer that a state like California that’s prone to drought and wildfire has been at the forefront of championing vehicles that are better for the environment until the moment one of them catches on fire.

I was 22 and the Suzuki Forenza was the first car that was mine and not borrowed from my parents. I lived in the South and we got a freak blizzard in the middle of the day and were sent home from work early, but not before about 4 inches had piled up. I didn’t have any snow supplies like a brush/scraper in my car, so…

Honestly, I imagine the planet will be a much better place to live once all the billionaires fuck off to space.

Just like the Titan, but in space!

How did Mad Max: Fury Road not get nominated??? I’ve watched that movie more than a dozen times and it still gets the adrenaline pumping every time. Especially when they have to turn around and you realize there’s a SECOND epic chase sequence about to happen.

Several years ago I had to rent a car to drive ~800 miles. I am very short (around 5 feet tall) and had originally booked a sedan, but at the last minute I ended up needing to haul way more stuff than could fit in a sedan, and the only vehicle available was an Escalade. Brand new, had like 40 miles on it. It was all…

A fine for overweight vehicles should be increased dramatically if a vehicle causes catastrophic damage. $2500 is a joke and I imagine it won’t come close to covering repair costs.
