The view from the States <snip>

sorry but an apple engineer playing mobile games on his phone is fully aware of his negligence and the only fault tesla has is providing a car that has more advanced  defective driver aids than most.

I am in favor of proportionate responsibility, as it is absolutely impossible for any event in the real world to be 100% the fault of a single element.

realize just how bad almost all cars from the Big 3 were back then

Many states have always had a very conservative approach to the aftermarket, and in various times and places certain aftermarket upgrades have been illegal. Low flow exhaust. Glass pack mufflers.

Just because it was taken in conquest doesn’t mean it wasn’t part of (i.e., controlled by) France.

What demo is that?

Centigrade is the original descriptor (label? name?) of what we now consider the metric temperature scale, and for what it’s worth is logical and rational name in that it was a method to measure temperature between two key and easily defined points (between water’s freezing and boiling points) with a scale of zero to o…

You seem to have not understood what my initial comment was about or you simply decided to go off on a tangent. Someone made a statement that “they [unions] kill businesses” and I replied that unions don’t kill businesses, and then you gave me an example of a business that had issues with a union but after all is said…
