And a hideous one at that

The Cybertruck is basically the coupe SUV ie. BMW X6 of pickup trucks. You didn’t buy it for space, utility, off roading, towing, work, ergonomics etc. It is purely a styling exercise.

Here we have Mush Brain, Donald The Felon, who is a pathological liar, a sociopath, and undoubtedly the ultimate—a psychopath—with his Shkreli-like smirk on his flabby face as he constantly rants and raves about the vengeance he’ll impose if (ugh) re-elected. No policies—just promised vengeance. Seriously, WTF?

Trump is the biggest shit-talker I have ever witnessed - always overpromising and underdelivering.

Trump really wants that rural vote from the guy with the one ton truck, side x side, fishing boat, snowmobile, ice house, dirt bike, and avt, that complains about the cost of gas.

First Gear: Donald Trump really only cares about two things, money and having people give money to him. As such, you’d think he’d be trying to win over someone like Elmo, who just got $56ish billion richer, and who directly benefits from increased EV sales.

And in actual use, it worked once. Did you not read the article and/or watched the video?

You assume they’re being honest about the number of times it will work. This is just enough CYA to let them escape liability even if it breaks on the first pull because you can’t prove how many times you have actually used it. And there are way too many examples of Tesla trying to weasel out of totally straightforward…

Oh, great, the release cable can only be expected to work once. As if you have a problem with the cable/plug, it will only happen once.

I had no idea they still made these.

Fascists gonna fascist.

Fuck off bootlicker.

I come here for news and information about the automotive world and not for your personal opinions on every story.

They haven’t moved their company to Texas. And the Delaware Court of Chancery can block such a move, as it is obviously attempted to circumvent a ruling from that very court.

What’s the reason for police to need to be driving ON the actual beach, a place where people are likely to be lying down in the sand and difficult for a truck to see?

In 15 years we’ll be asking ourselves why the American auto manufacturers failed, while the Chinese electric car industry took over the world. I wonder whether we’ll remember that day when the founder of one of the first and most important electric car manufacturers of the day browbeat shareholders into handing him…

Yes, this time around, the board made videos and adverts supporting the move to pay Musk. So they didn’t even try an adversarial role as they are obligated to take in cases like this. Instead, they doubled down on the cult member behaviour.

According to the article, you don’t have to worry about that. Your guess is as good as mine whether this is fully true, and they can of course change at any time (with a long “revised terms of service” text that we’ll all accept).

I think what people expect is for an app to NOT attempt to objectively critique one’s driving “skill”/ability/safety (and then send on to insurance companies) based on quite subjective metrics as “hard braking” and “aggressive acceleration”.

Not sure what people expected. At this point, I fully expect every app that requires way more information than what the app provides (like most free apps) and map apps (especially google maps) to be selling all of the information to anyone with money to pay for it...
