No, it was more that Honda got flat-footed like all the other Japanese automakers with the rise of EVs. They were the only ones to pivot and basically acknowledge that they got caught unprepared and decided to partner with GM so they could put something out in a reasonable amount of time.

Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian have usable frunks. All the legacy automakers’ EVs have either no frunk or have a frunk with barely enough room for a few books.

Is the Department of Justice’s website for service animals in regards to the Americans with Disabilities Act not an authoritative website? You said that miniature horses are “the only animal other than dogs recognized as service animals”, so I would love to learn what authority is stating that. Do you mean within a…

“you can’t really question whether it is a “legit” service animal or not.”

“a service miniature horse. Those are VERY much a thing, and the only animal other than dogs recognized as service animals.”

“if you really want to get into the electric future of plugging in your car and foregoing gasoline for at least 30 miles a day or so, you have to go with the TX.”

“She even said Lopez’s music is still good!”

“They’re massive, heavy, vehicles that take up a ton of space, don’t get great gas mileage, and don’t handle much better than an SUV”

“The window sticker also says this car had an MSRP of $14,000. You won’t be paying that for this Focus though. Centsible wants $20,000 for this Focus.”

“To contextualize that number, 384,000 restarts equates to more-than 21 starts every single day for 50 years.”

Depends on the car. There are some that make the car shudder/shake every single time, and that gets pretty annoying, fairly quickly.

Ohhh, ok, so you’ve driven 30,000 miles in the past 3-4 years, got it.  The strikes are for ignoring the nags.  It pops up a message, then the screen starts pulsing blue, then it beeps, then it gives you a strike.

I could be wrong, but the mid-December update is what is being referenced here in terms of people getting a warning as soon as they activate Autopilot/FSD.  So if you’ve driven 30,000 miles in the past 6 weeks and not experienced that, that’s pretty amazing.  Aside from the fact that you apparently drive 700+ miles a…

I use Apple Podcasts, so listening progress syncs between my car, phone, tablet, and computer.  At least in Apple Podcasts in the car, you can use the left steering wheel button to click right or left to move forward and back in 15-second increments (if you’re going to skip forward in large amounts like 45 minutes,…

“You shouldn’t have to stare at a touchscreen to use the radio controls. That nonsense needs to be banned.”

“But I haven’t had any of the actual “strikes” on Autopilot in the last 30,000 or so miles.”

The American-made motorcyclists due stupid/dangerous/mean shit at low speeds. The last time I was in LA, I was in stop and go traffic (top speed of maybe 7 mph, so there’s nowhere to really move), and this guy on a Harley is riding between lanes, and purposely reaching out with the studs on his motorcycle gloves and…

“and luckily wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.”

“As a fellow EV owner, I only tell people about the gas savings. I skip the traditional ICE maintenance items like oil changes because the EV tires do cost more. Anything I save between tire changes gets taken away at the tire shop.”
