I live in such a town (Dunedin, FL) and I love it.

Yeah but my friends’ cousin’s neighbors son-in law is working for a company that is printing the signs with a UN logo saying stay in your sector under penalty of death 

Well, since you’ve been back it’s been a lot dumber, louder and more miserable around here so they may have a point.

As an asthmatic who rode the bus over an hour each way, I also love this.

Add in the diesel exhaust students will not be breathing.

1) Blue Bird and workers ratified a union contract last month. Kind of rare and notable in a southern state.
2) was a bit of a bus nerd in youth. Blue Bird buses always had that bird logo with a black stripe following the length of the roof. A nice little bit of “flair” on an otherwise utilitarian vehicle. The green…

If you truly believe that, it’s probably for the best that you don’t go out. We don’t want to put up with you, either. 

That’s why we need to get back to more local/walkable neighborhoods with mixed use land instead of great swaths of residential only versus commercial only. You could actually have a local bar that you could walk to, have a few drinks, and stumble home!

8 lane 45 MPH roadways that cut through cities certainly weren’t the norm for a lot of that time. The number of cars on the road, requirements for added parking, and number of paved lanes has continued to grow every year across the century. Our car-centric society may have just spent the last decade hitting a…

Riding bicycles is incredibly fucking dangerous

This happened 12 months ago with the Model 3 when Q3 2023, people said there was a slow down. Than we found out Tesla was using all the parts in inventory to build as many Model 3s as they could, so they had inventory to take the production lines off and upgrade them for the new “Highland” Model 3 which came out Jan…

it’s all the cost. Supply and Demand. Drop the price or add some crazy lease deals and they will all move.

The funny thing is that lifestyle changes with respect to driving (work from home specifically) are probably way more impactful than almost any vehicle choice you could make. To the extent we can, as a culture, we should try to reduce the amount of miles we drive.

I feel like plug in hybrids will work really well for a significant chunk of the population. If your commute isn’t too long, you could spend a significant portion of your time effectively driving an EV with the flexibility to take longer trips too.

1st gear feels like you are attacking the wrong thing instead of focusing on the positives we still have.

Lots of cars have variable ratio steering. Speed sensitive as well. 

You can go lock-to-lock in a Cybertruck much faster than a conventional vehicle, which would make the lagginess even worse

Isn’t the ratio greatly quickened when stopped like this? So, at higher speed, the driver would likely have to turn the steering wheel even further, which would reduce the lag.

Of all the things to complain about, this is pretty much a non-issue. Steering effort is always highest at a stop since the tires are 100% scrubbing. It’s not a good way to see the response from any system. Even a slight roll would probably make it much less noticeable
