What do you think it will look like in production form? I suspect some of the weird will be smoothed out. 

I think we had very similar issues...the stereo and antenna failed, power windows crapped out, and IIRC it left my husband stuck once or twice. Smooth ride when it worked, though.

I learned to drive on a ‘79 Grand Marquis

They buy the books, but don’t actually READ the books. And the buying is the most important part to them

Normally I’d think, SCOTUS will not allow this to stand. But we are not in normally land. 

Montana Shorts? 

also, tell Elon to stop implying that government regulations are the only thing standing in the way of deploying FSD

Would this car get me my own Mrs. Robinson?

I am actually curious if the first responders are aware of ERGs and their online availability. I would assume so

Pretty much every automaker has an Emergency Response Guide posted on line for EVs/PHEVs. Wonder if they looked it up for this one. Tesla’s says lots and lots and LOTS of water for battery fires, so they seem to have been doing the right thing. 

I am going to add that if you can do one thing while you’re in the area, look into Deception Pass. You could drive there easily from Stanwood and head south through Whidbey Island (stop in Coupeville for mussels if you are so inclined), take the ferry back to metro Seattle at the south end of the island if that’s…

Oh man. Stanwood is near my family, but I’m here in MI.

We still have XM, it’s almost 100% reliable even in places where cell service isn’t.

I get that taxing by mileage makes more sense than by the gallon, but it moves the tax reporting and collection onto the tax payer rather than seamlessly blending it into each fill-up.

it’s a nice Reliant automobile.

So shitboxes with broken speedometers/odometers get to drive tax-free?

One thing that I have not heard ANY good answers for is how fully autonomous vehicles will be insured

it’s always 5 years away.

I usually have either Ghirardelli’s dark chocolate syrup, the TJ stuff, or Hershey’s Special Dark (desperation only, since the Hershey’s has HFCS in it) on hand. But this recipe looks pretty good...
