Your source of electricity depends on where you live, but EVs generally emit far less than a gasoline-powered car when you consider the national mix of fuel sources.

Stuck is stuck. If the bent metal isn’t going to allow the door to move, the weight of the door doesn’t matter.

It’s not uncommon for doors to be inoperable after an impact. This goes for all kinds of doors - even normal manual ones.

I think it depends upon the market. For a cross-country rig, sure. But a lot of semis do urban delivery (delivery from warehouse to grocery store). They don’t go very far. They spend a lot of time idling. And they are back at their warehouse by the end of the work day.

Actually, you can say “You CAN park here” too. Giving someone license to use the property voids their claim of adverse possession.

And you can avoid it completely if you just do something very simple to assert your ownership of the spot. You know what that is? Give them written permission to park there! That’s right. If someone is taking your property for their use, if you were to simply grant them permission to use it, then their claim of…

You can’t adversely possess something you have a right to use, or permission to use. Whether it’s public property or not you are allowed to park there. In modern habitated areas this only comes up in scenarios where like, twenty years after someone starts caring for a strip of land in between their land and a…

Absolutely a thing. When I manual I keep it in first when I drive through lots or the alley behind my house and third (usually) on residential streets. But I think the point is less that I’m using the specific gear as a governor but rather that driving a manual keeps me more aware of what the car is doing and thus…

I would usually consider the rank and file to be the productions workers.

People don’t realize it is the rubber compound NOT the cool tread pattern that is the issue with summer tires in the winter. Them joints just get hard as rocks.

I once asked a friend of mine why she refuses to wear her seatbelt and she quoted some obscure accident where the driver was decapitated by their seatbelt. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I refused to drive her anywhere if she didn’t buckle up. It’s a rule in my car. Wear your seatbelt or you’re walking.

Front end was contained and yet the back still went for the nearest grouping of bystanders

As much as I love rally, it seems like most of the things they need to do to push a car through the woods on dirt and ice do not apply to any other motorsport (except motorized ice dancing... i mean drifting).

So far the dedicated autonomous programs like the google one seem to be doing an ok job sussing out human behavior.

“only obey the road rules when they want to” - You mean like how most drivers speed, talk/text while driving even in states where it’s a violation and many roll stop signs?

In the US, Tesla sold more Model S this year than S-class and 7 series combined. You’re acting as if the only thing that draws people to Tesla is it’s electric drivetrain.

Model Y is the CUV version of the compact 3. The X is the CUV version of the larger S.

The negative impacts of states failing to use the last 12 years to comply with a federal law they knew about all along will be disproportionately born by the poor, who in many states are disproportionately minorities. Whether the state legislatures in these states are actively attempting to discriminate, like they…

The issue is that in some Southern states there are damn few places to go to get your ID. It takes a whole day and often giving up a day’s pay from your shitty job in addition to whatever the fee is.

You’d really have to go talk with an early adopter of any tech gadget. People buy first generation stuff because they like the concept and want to support it, or the company behind it, or they want to show off the newest toy.
