I just watched a video of the approach and any competent driver who is mostly paying attention should be able to navigate that turn with no issues. The lane is clearly divided and the signage is visible from far away. If I see a 45 mph yellow sign at a highway offramp, I know it is going to be fairly gradual but if…

Wow, that looks totally predictable and with plenty of warning. This isn’t just a random right lane that veers off into an exit but a separate lane with proper delineation and signage. There are plenty of roads with collisions that are caused by poor road design and a lack of signage but this is not one of them.

It is amazing how people do not tailor their driving to specific driving situations like for the poor visibility and/or traction that comes with weather or slowing down in sensitive areas like around schools, in residential areas, and in parking lots. I tend to be a faster driver on highways and less dense roads but…

Ultra minis like this are extremely common in Europe and are great as space and energy efficient city cars. I recently went to Rome for the first time in eight years and ultra minis are among the most common types of vehicles for most city dwellers and are almost as popular as scooters and motorbikes. My favorite is…

Apparently Optimus was close with a bunch of the Supercharger folks...

I believe that still applies.  The Bentayga is fairly unattractive and gaudy, but nowhere near as bad as the Cullinan and the Continental and Fling Spur still look classy and decent.  I see mostly old folks (age and moneywise) driving Bentleys but Rolls seem to be driven mostly by flashy younger people.

Fortunately, it only took me 5 seconds to determine the car is fucking hideous.

Good, two birds with one stone.  Let the drunks take each other out.

That is a good point but fortunately we have had reviews from google and other platforms for quite some time now.  Sure, you have to read between the lines on reviews (there are plenty of crazy people out there giving good places 1 or 2 star reviews) and plenty of places that incentivize people to leave 5-star reviews…

“Tesla told them it needed a battery, because Tesla only replaces the whole thing. They don’t do component replacement like we do,” he continued. “Any Model S that has been supercharged a lot, early ‘12, ‘13, ‘14, those cars, their batteries are failing,”

Pointing out the mistakes of others does not take away from the mistakes of the Waymo vehicle.  Ideally, the technology we create should be better than we are at doing ourselves.  A good example are calculators - if they were not 100% accurate, in most scenarios, it would make more sense for a human to perform the…

Wow, I totally forgot about Lister’s XJS but this new car is essentially that old car but with new LED lighting.  It’s not a bad look but it certainly is not original.

I was thinking the same thing.  I actually love the look of the 80's DBS, V8 Vantage, and even the V8 Vantage and Virage from the 90's even more so than the DBX cars that came before and after.  They look like muscle cars that are driven by gentlemen instead of 20 and 30 year old greasers.

That is a great analogy. I would also compare Musk and Montana to L Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. He had a tough time making money of his sci-fi books after paying taxes that he turned one of his fiction stories (Xenu, nuclear bombing space ships, thetans etc.) into a “relgion” to make money by avoiding…

I’m 100% with you. I absolutely hate group rides of any sort (cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and apparently powered unicycles) as they are incredibly disruptive and there are often at least a few misbehaving assholes in the group. It is much easier to pass a single cyclist or small group (5 or less) but a large group…

It also looked like it accelerated rapidly after changing lanes which to me does not seem like a careful way to pass another person or vehicle.

And then hit a barrier at a high rate of speed, causing it to end up on its roof.  I live in NJ which already has a high rate of cars ending upside down and have never seen more inverted vehicles than when driving in South Florida.

I typed essentially the same comment. It is truly baffling and aside from ultimately hurting the financials of the company, it will also deter talented people from wanting to work for such an unpredictable and illogical CEO.

Knowing that Tesla is struggling with new product releases (Cybertruck, roadster) and updating aging existing products (Model S, X), one would think their best chance of success is to focus on developing the one thing they can do well which is the creation of reliable charging infrastructure. Instead, Musk decided to…

Unfortunately we need a good old fashioned economic downturn to reset the spending habits of the masses. I see so many people with modestly-paying ($50K or less) jobs driving new cars in the $40K+ range and it blows my mind. I was fortunate to make that much when I first graduated from university 20 years ago…
