Global warming doesn’t give a crap if your EV was made by a union, made within U.S. borders, made with a gazillion kWh battery, sold by a dealership, or boosted by a Bond villain. We should apply incentives to increase EV adoption across the board, vehicles and infrastructure. We should prioritize mass market (aka…

There are plenty of examples without big manufacturer’s help that have shown the negative side of unionization as well.

Why do charging stations need apps?

Some tax credits are fully refundable, such that if your tax liability is less than the credit, you’ll receive the remainder as a tax refund. I can’t say whether or not this one is designated as such, though.

The union thing is shitty.  Period.  

I think you should edit that headline. The bridge didn’t destroy the cars. The jackass driving the truck did.

This is cute.

Remember your disdain for cops next time someone is committing a crime against you. That way you can avoid doing something silly, like call them to help you.

it was converted by a company that specializes in doing conversions. do you have any proof that its janky and broken or did you not bother to read the fucking thing that says it wasnt something someone did in their back yard. my element has no real B pillar either.  hows it different than this?

The taco and 4runner are to be found in the backcountry and get you there and back again and that really matters.

What you said is kinda blaming the victim here... even if the driver wasn’t signalling a turn the car slowing down with its brake lights on was more than enough to alert anybody behind to slow down so it’s 100% the truck driver’s fault.

It’s one thing if it is a CEL or other warning that still let’s you drive the vehicle. But in this, the inoperable hybrid battery makes the whole vehicle inoperable. They really expect someone to shell out $7500 on an SUV that doesn’t run and will need to be towed to its new home?

headline: corrupt union!
story: corrupt management.

wtf even is this.

Potential failure mode plays a big part in why it works the way it works. If the car goes into some sort of a limp mode or won’t drive when a door is open, an otherwise minor sensor failure or code issue with it’s “door closed” signal becomes a tow-truck situation. On the other hand if that sensor fails and the driver…

This doesn’t sound like “making a mistake”, the fact that they were registering vehicles out of state as a workaround suggests they were knowingly skirting NC law.

Your analogy would make sense only if Carvana was banned everywhere for 180 days instead of just one county.

You can do that on the steering wheel, too. Every car I've driven with steering wheel controls has a mute function included. 

Volume buttons are on the steering wheel btw. - you noted how the digital ones weren’t to your liking. 

Did I write that cops SHOULD be trained worse? Even with superior training, cops meet people who would be willing to kill them if there was a chance.

“High heat buttered” and “not smoking” are mutually contradictory unless you are using clarified butter.
