I passed a guy on his R1 at the track with my Suzuki GS500 after he did a wheelie followed by a stoppie in the first two corners. Never saw him again

Lol! Reminds me of the guys riding panegales and R1s that don’t want to run in the newbie group.

That poor toddler already destroying her social credit. 

All this is is another warehouse for my data to be stolen from. Everyone collects data and everyone loses it to nefarious types.

As an old AND a person who has worked with electronics and sensors for 30 years, I would rather DRIVE MY FUCKING CAR and not rely on buggy equipment and software to do it for me

That’s why I hope there is some jail time in this “driver’s” future. This kind of willful disregard for everyone’s safety can’t be dealt with lightly. It should be no different than a DUI (which still isn’t punished like it should be). 

Because that would turn a $5,000 trailer into a $50,000 trailer while also halving the payload it could carry.

Diesel* Electric. That first part is key. Also, fixed routes make it very easy to have the needed fuel (Diesel) available along pre-planned stops.

But that’s the point. With the Tesla truck and the other electric pickup offerings (Ford, Rivian) they are being aimed at those who may need to tow higher loads more often, and market their high tow ratings. The point of the article is that while a Tesla truck can tow 14,000 lbs, you’re only going to be able to take…

Ugh, I get so tired of the “safe for children” stuff. I get that it’s a selling point and all that, but safe driving habits will go further toward keeping you safe than driving around in a tank carelessly. Stay off your phone, keeps your eyes up and scanning your surroundings, and stay engaged while driving. That…

Yes, Spectre was terrible.

She (and more specifically her handlers) aren’t alerting anyone to anything new, they’re just furthering the outrage news cycle, selling clicks and Ads and doing absolutely nothing about the problem.

Obviously everyone in GMG loves Greta, because you exist in an outrage economy. Climate action doesn’t matter as much as outrage, and you take every step to ensure that the discussion remains outrage focused, to sell your CAR ADS! 

Yeeeaaah, I think the extremely high cost of cars nowadays, lengthy/horrible graduated licensing in some provinces/states and the highest insurance premiums ever might have a bit more to do with youth not being as car-loving as in the past.

Highly doubt it once the EV F150 is out. I suspect this to happen in the next generation which likely wont happen for 5 more years. But given Tesla’s history of releasing things to market, the Cybertruck is at least 3 years out from production and another 2-3 years before they hit the low price points.

That is just not true. Most of those are fleet sales....for work.

Neutral: No screens. None. I want a very basic radio display and nothing else. I want buttons and dials and knobs and actual physical dash components and substantial control over my driving experience.

He took the same calculus and diff eq as any other engineer...not that this is particularly complex math. What does his experience have to do with basic geometry and vectors?

This truck was a middle finger to all truck buyers. Musk is openly mocking the current trend of “rugged” and “tough” trucks. He turned it up to 11 and is now in the position of “well you wanted tough, you got tough” as if we are children. This guy has never been around work trucks before. He has never had to interact…
