That robot looks like it’s staging a work slowdown to protest management policies...

Other way around. It’s a great design to separate out those who are a constant source of danger to themselves and others before putting them into the city street system. Like the 11foot8 bridge, it’s a reminder to others to always pay attention, particularly on blind corners into stoplight controlled intersections. 

Thanks! It all really just comes down to common sense, something it would appear very few people driving have these days.

You know, I always thought Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, not a documentary, but here we are. When I was a kid I was told to be mindful of car doors, hoods, and trunks because I could break my poor little fingers. Now, we have people doing it intentionally for clicks.

I’m tempted to rephrase that as “two birdbrains with one stone.”

I get what you’re saying, but it’s also not hard to figure out you shouldn’t be exiting into the city from the highway at highway speeds. It’s an exit for slowing down...

I wish I lived in a spot I could set up a house camera just to catch the tomfoolery that would ensue. I live near a public school district that has had issues with people speeding near the elementary school. Just this last week the city installed some MASSIVE speed bumps that I now go over to get to work and I love

WTF is this article doing on Jalop? Bad editorial choice.

This is why we’re doomed. Not this one incident but everything this incident says about humanity, generational wisdom, and our inability to care about anything but the path of least resistance.

The Cybertruck was evidence that Musk has gone off the rails and has turned into Tony Montana staring at a huge pile of cocaine on his desk. Musk got high off his own P.R. started believing it (like Tony getting hooked on his own product) and assumed that any ridiculous idea he had would be a hit because it was his

From what I can tell, Superchargers are a huge deal to the success of Tesla. They would arguably be just another EV without the Supercharger network. Cutting the team entirely either means “We are done developing our Supercharger design and will focus on maintaining what’s already out there”, or the future is really

It’s almost like he wants to revise his statement from “Tesla is not a car company” to “Tesla is not a company.”

Every time I read of Elon wanting “hard core” people at his companies, I get the feeling it’s code talk for “I want groveling slaves putting in 25 hours a day/8 days a week” for me.  Anyone who goes to work at an Elon company must be a masochist.

“Hopefully these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard core about headcount and cost reduction,” Musk wrote in the email, the report said. “While some on exec staff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so.”

If I lay off everyone, I won’t have to pay any salaries at all.

Ha! Let’s kneecap the one thing (Superchargers) that set Tesla apart from anyone else at this point. 

1st Gear: A (any) charging network is the future, there’s no EV transition without one. Elon just sabotaged the company, the EV industry and a clean future.

Tesla makes a LOT of money doing nothing more than selling CAFE credits to the larger manufacturers that they then use to meet their respective targets. It’s a great system. Or a terrible system., but worth knowing about.

It’s a scale problem. Ford didn’t kill off the Focus in 2018, they killed it off in NA but still sold it in europe through the 2024 model year. and they killed it off in NA because sales declined. They sold 200k+ Focuses in the US in 2013 and less than 120k in 2017. Ford is going to build the cars that people want.

I would have loved to replace my outgoing Fusion Hybrid with a new Fusion Hybrid, or even a Focus Hybrid if those existed. I drove the last one for almost 12 years with a single $400 repair. As it is, I recently bought one of the few remaining Gold CPO Fusion Hybrid Titaniums. Honestly, it’s probably for the best,
