1) then offer a competitive price

I apologise — I wasn’t clear on where I felt the issues were. I think the engineering can still be absolutely amazing, if given the chance to be. But as you’ve alluded to, the upper management appear to be more interested in this quarter’s share prices than anything remotely related to being long-term, and that’s what…

I agree with you - this was an odd story to try to make this point on. It’s just too egregious, and while I suppose he could have been doing whatever speed that version of autopilot allowed and fell asleep/passed out with his foot on the accelerator, that seems a bit unlikely. Other that in general, the ability of…

You don’t have to use 100% throttle to be “aggressive” when you’ve got 500+ horsepower... it looks like he held the throttle at about 50% for at last 15-20 seconds.  That’s like being flat-out in an older wrx for 15-20 seconds....

So, you might say he went on a “Kessel run”?

The driver was inattentive, but had their foot matted to the floor at over 120mph? You don’t just end up going 120+ out of “inattention.” That’s a deliberate choice.

I’d love to pile on Tesla here, and blame their marketing gimmick nonsense Level 2 system.

Tesla will punish you and turn off auto pilot for the rest of the trip if you go over 92 MPH on highway. (street driving auto pilot is limited to 5 mPH over posted speeds) SO that being said anything over 100 Autopilot is completely off. I dont think this is anyone’s fault but the driver itself.  

40 seconds in and the he kept flooring the pedal, the guy is totally at fault, and from the footage it looks like target fixation

Am I missing something or does the article not really have anything to do with the crash? Yes L2 systems should be avoided for this exact reason, but in this particular case, AP is not involved at all and the driver had 40 seconds to react and not deliberately accelerate to well over 100mph. Autopilot caps you to…

Exactly. Not on autopilot (for nearly a minute before the crash) and the driver’s foot was on the throttle. This is a bad driver story, not a Tesla story. The only reason we’re talking about it is because Teslas have cameras built in and they capture bad driver behavior and go viral.

so peaceful

These last four years have been the longest century of my life.

I used to have an 06 STi back when they were new. I remember some guy was like man, you must get alot of chicks with that car eh? My response,”The only thing this car attracts is teenage boys and cops.”

Literally zero people disagree with you.

The only reason dealers still exist is because they lobby to exist.

Yes, the trend in showing today is preserved, not restored. This car seems to be in top form, and a bargain at $18,000

This V-63 Sedan is claimed in its ad to be a well-preserved survivor, having never been restored.

During the debate when Trump was talking about how expensive cars are because of the little computers, Matt Yglesias tweeted something like ‘Can Trump even drive a car?’ and I think that’s a real good question. I highly doubt he’s driven a car anytime recently if ever.

This is proof here, the reason I’m not worried about Trump leaving once he loses. Because no one wants to show him the door more than the Secret Service. They have to look at his ass every day, listen to his bullshit, screen his chicken buckets for security threats. You think you’re tired of Donald Trump? You have no…
