If they are doing this can we assume they made to many and everyone that actually WANTED one has it and now they are piling up with no new buyers.

I could be on board. IMO there are just certain controls that should NEVER be screen exclusive. HVAC, Volume, wipers. People are already distracted enough behind the wheel we don’t need them trying to navigate screen menus because they want to turn the air up.  If using your phone while driving is a distraction having…

Do you need to with a modern car, no, but if it’s in the 30's I will probably remote start my car a few minutes before I leave, mainly to get it warm ish enough for it to blow heat.

They were oem new. I don’t know WHY they kept dying, maybe it’s because I’m in Texas and its like the surface of the sun in summer, maybe it’s because IIRC, the alternator was located at the back of the transverse V6 right near the firewall and just didn’t get decent cooling/air flow. And being almost 30 years ago…

Oh those giant screens serve a purpose, it allows the automaker to heavily cheap out on the interior, you know by not designing/including buttons or knobs, and makes people think the car is “fancy” you know because huge screen. And it doubles as being a hug distraction if you need to adjust or change just about…

This and also if it’s anything like my 1990 one I had as a first car, they eat alternators more or less every summer.  In the 3 or 4 years I had mine, I got it in 1996, I went through at least that many alternators.

I mean I get having an insulated tumbler but like get one that doesn’t leak when you turn it over.  I have 2 I picked up from monoprice, that I don’t really use because liquid collects in the threads of the top and I mix fiber supplement into my water which congeals if you let it sit so I have to shake it every time I…

I mean I HAVE one, a 64 oz one from Monoprice, I have used it once, and even then I had to drink out of like I was a toddler LOL.  

lol, yeah because those tumble style cups almost ALWAYS have that bottom section sized for a cup holder. As much as I think Stanley cups are dumb, as a fashion item, but what’s even dumber is the people I have seen walking around with like 64 oz insulated water bottles. Like WTF, do you just drink out of it like a…

So the cup holder was designed for Big Dumb Cup got it.  Also than SNL Skit was freaking funny.

Well aren’t those typically fully unlimited, but they throttle during high traffic times.

It’s hard to say. I assume these would be like a gas pump where they are leased from the company rather than bought outright. I also don’t know what it actually costs to charge at a public charger. I looked at one near me and it’s $0.35/minute so about $21 an hour to charge, local electric rates are about $0.14 a kWh.…

I have mentioned this in another article about this, but they could have just 100% hard coded the tunnel path into the car and just used “FSD” for drop off and pickup to get into an out of a space. Just have a big button on the screen that says “Start” it backs out using FSD, then runs the programmed path until it…

Agreed but I think in some situations they are preferred.  Hell there are times even today where you have to FAX something rather than email it.  Hell in my business we regularly get paper checks and cashiers checks for earnest money deposits.

Maybe I just don’t remember coming any where near that kind of mileage when delivering pizza.  That said I think my mom  working as an X ray tech when i was young did something like 100k miles a year.

Haven’t done quite that much, my record was driving from where I live in Texas along the southern border to Cali up the west coast to Seattle, then back through Loveland Colorado back to home in like 13 days. Don’t know how many miles total but it was a lot of 12+ hours days of straight driving.

LOL right, also unlimited means UNLIMITED unless it says it’s not in the fine print. But also how the hell do you drive 25k miles in a month. Like 1000 miles a day is almost 15 straight HOURS driving 70 mph. I like to drive but damn. That’s like driving across the US almost 9 times in a month.

Yeah I mean they weren’t great, but man it was easy and cheap as hell to fix them, for the longest time you could pick one up at most gas stations, and I don’t mean like ones with a service center with it just a regular ass gas station.

“The Port Authority told Gothamist that it’s investigating how the raccoon broke into the terminal to prevent it from happening again”

Every time I hear Musk talk about RoboTaxi’s or cars driving themselves I just point to the tunnel. If they can’t do it there in a 100% controlled space, in the absolute 100% best case scenario, what makes anyone think they can do it on public roads.
