In general, everything that is not expressly illegal is perfectly legal until you start endangering others. In a country with a functional legal system you can also mostly trust this to work (I am sure there are occasional cases of judicial overreach, but this is clearly not one of them). FWIW, Germany has fewer than…

“I am saddened that rich people are not doing the right thing and opting for 12 cylinders of sonorous fury.” - agreed, and the environmental impact of cars being parked in conditioned garages is minimal anyhow.

Yes he did. In Germany you have to be a responsible adult; doing stupid shit may get you in trouble whether or not it is expressly verboten or not. As per the Autobahn-Richtgeschwindigkeits-Verordnung (yum) it is recommended that you stay below 130km/h. Your responsibility as a driver not to endanger others or yourself…

Germany has a less legalese, hair-splitting system than the US. Don’t do dumb shit. Judges are actually allowed to use their judgement. Having more money and more lawyers isn’t the impenetrable shield it is in the US.

My seven-year-old always end up going in the wrong direction in Mario Kart; she has never even finished a single lap. And I would still rather have her drive than FSD, because she wants to stay alive which most computers don’t really care about.

I would love to see FSD in NYC and its environs. Parts of South Bronx overload my own CPU. Has anyone made a video of this? Does FSD even know not to turn right on red in the boroughs?

Not only have they covered the Bolt fires extensively, but other media criticizes GM whereas it seems that Tesla frequently gets a free ride in the media because of what, Disruption?

I like the sound of Lewdle.

“Lights and other electrical items worked when we hooked up a battery.” Why, it’s better than when it left the Maserati factory.

I see no sign of any effort having been made.

Thanks for making me re-read

Alas, Simple and Easy are not always interchangeable.

Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons must be worried about the outcome of this one.

As for Buttigieg’s imperfectly worded quote, I am sure that more than 40,000 people a year are dying from food poisoning in Subways:

“Luxury is mostly stick-on shit” - that hasn’t changed, at least

Results may vary based on your location.

Not surprising at all. Hybrids have two systems that can catch fire, and they’re interlinked.

It’s kind of cool how much I have seen AL.com mentioned generally (just not here) in the coverage of this affair. I had never heard of them before, but they appear to do good work.

Teslas don’t even have RPM limiters, so there.
