I have no issues with the point youre making here. but look at it the other way. IS calling the vehicle a Cherokee any different than naming a city after an indigenous word? Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa... My town has streets named Cree, Mohawk, Ojibway... Indian Motorcycles? The Nissan QashQai is named after an Iranian… Read more

I think we will see a massive shift in how car sales work, and the current supply situation will cause that, for sure, but the current the current situation also doesn’t mean salespeople as a concept aren’t useful and everyone just shops online either. Read more
The issue with longer loans is the part where you get upside down on the loan, and the longer the loan the longer you’re upside down. So 0% is great, but if in a year something happens and you need to sell your car, it’s worth less than what you owe on the loan. Read more
Correct. Like the insurance risk monitors (Progressive Snapshot, etc), this system is actually measuring environmental risk, not individual driver performance (though the two may be correlated). Because Tesla wants to deploy their FSD software in situations where it will be least likely to encounter situations it… Read more
Yes. Because the point is not to select good drivers. The point is to select low risk environments, where FSD will be less likely to be called on to handle a situation it can’t yet.
not upset about an actual pillow, upset about luggage disguised as a pillow as this “hack” is talking about.
jackasses gaming the system to get more carryon luggage by packing their shit in a pillow case and pretending it is a pillow is assholish. bringing an actual pillow (of reasonable size) to make the flight more… Read more
this “hack” could also be entitled “how to be a douchenozzle when flying”
Personally I think the concept car pushed the design to 10, while the production version is...whelming.
If there’s any car that has zero chance of being roadworthy in fifty years it’s a Tesla. They get written off if you so much as look at them funny.
In Belgium, we have the FAST-teams. Tow truck drivers, all with those flatbeds actually, are stationed everywhere. Prices are expensive obviously but they are under contract to get at the incident in less than 20minutes.
If the patch notes don’t refer to this as automated rubbernecking, I will has a sad. Read more
Around here, tow truck drivers camp out under the overpasses. They will often be on the scene in under 10 minutes. Now, if you call AAA it may very well take a while, but the “safe clear” program the city runs will tow you off the freeway much quicker.
Also, ANY tow truck would have done here. Read more
LOL exactly, we used to drill and add zert to those when they first came out!
In states where the first wrecker on the scene gets the tow, you end up with tow truck drivers speeding and driving recklessly to get the job. The flip side is a lottery or rotation. Safer, but then there’s no incentive to get there in a timely manner.
Where’s the list of “plenty of Ford dealers”? Read more
Yeah one of the biggest dealers in my major metro area (probably 20 locations) seems to be happy to play the markup game. Just found a $118k Ford Raptor...it is stock from the description. MSRP of $80k. Oh, the cars.com ad says they just dropped the price $7k from $125k. Read more
Wow, great lookin truck.. totally worth $7500
But according to the article (written by a Tesla hater, I might add) states there are no regulations in the US preventing the Tesla from pulling over.
