How far inland, though? Asheville’s at least a five-hour drive from Wilmington, and that wasn’t far enough inland to keep them safe.

No, it shouldn’t. It’s the industry standard. Every 0-60 test since drag strips were invented have used rollout. 

Neutral: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died in 1826. Jimmy Carter was born in 1924. That means that there’s less time between the death of two signers of the Declaration of Independence and Jimmy Carter’s birth than between Jimmy Carter’s birth and the present day. That’s a wild thing to think about.

Keep burning gas.

“There is an argument against ‘paying them what they are worth’ when a robot can do it cheaper in the long run.”

Counterpoint; what is the point of saving a percentage and destroying the economic multiplier that is employee pay in exchange for a dividend or stock buyback or higher total compensation for the C-suite?

Pics, or it did happen.

Well, there are roughly 8 billion people currently, but only 242 of this car ever made.  One of these things is easily replaceable.  The other is a piece of history.

Look pal this is America where we entertain all opposing viewpoints. If we’re going to give “please don’t let people starve to death because they went to the hospital” a chance, then we’re obligated to air “bring back private ownership of humans” too. It’s called “the paradox of tolerance” and it’s what makes us the…

And the company easily offered that 50% too. If they can casually offer that, they absolutely can go higher.

Sadly, the whole “getting to China” part is a bit cost-prohibitive unless Zeekr wants to fly me out on its own dime. 

It is a bad take, and it is my take, why opened with if it were me. When I’ve been hit I haven’t cared about me, injured or not, I’m pissed about downtime, missed/late school or work, the destroyed residual value of my car if not totalled and costs associated with an accident and insurance implications. My take is bad…

I’m torn on the dockworkers strike. I mean, if the companies switch to automated systems it’s not like they’re going to reduce costs to consumers — they’re just going to take in more profits. But at the same time, the workers are possibly being a bit unreasonable in their demands. Tough call without knowing all the…

1st Gear: Waiting for Trump to say what he always says without a plan to back it up: “This never would have happened if I was president”.

Insurance adjuster: 1948? Well at least it’s just an old clunker, we can write…I’m sorry, what’s a mile meeglee?

“I’ve never personally needed it so no one else needs it either.” 

IIRC they used to buy their cars blind so the companies wouldn’t know it was CR buying it and do anything different from the norm for delivery. I’m not sure if they still do that.

I mean, they aren’t old, they’re just folks who buy the issue about cars every time they buy a new car to make sure the car they’re looking at doesn’t have some gigantic red flags. In other words, normal, non-chronically online people.

If you asked the question, “Who is Nissan?” or “Who is Ford?”, you would get confused looks. Maybe some people would name the CEO, if they even knew who it was.

Yeah, that’s exactly my point. It’s been a while since that was routinely the case.
