Yeah, I’m trying to picture Immortan Joe’s Half-Life War Boys yelling ‘CANbus! CANbus! CANbus!” and grabbing wiring harnesses from a huge pile before setting off shiny and chrome on the Fury Road...

Truly, the most apocalypse ready vehicle is one that requires and endless series of software checks and troubleshooting that ultimately doesn’t work.

OK, yes, but the outage also started in the middle of the night - and there are many fewer flights overnight than during the day. (Southwest, for instance, simply doesn’t fly overnight, for reasons that are too funny to get into.) It would be more useful to see a side-by-side playback of Wednesday night into Thursday…

Texas: The lone star is their yelp review rating.

See, we knew we were vulnerable to cyberattack from hostile foreign countries.

My person, the entire US commercial airline fleet numbers a grand total 5,882 planes.

In Q4 of 2023, there were 288,000,000 vehicles operating on US roads.

That is quite literally an order of magnitude more than the number of planes in the US squared

The Panamera is kind of fascinating to me. Performance metrics aside, the first gen was an objectively hideous-looking car. Like, awkward and ugly, full stop. And then with really only a few subtle changes in lines the second gen because a genuinely decent-looking machine. The changes were generally so minor, yet they…

Yet another cultist whining about how unfair the truth is.

Says the Trumptard.

The only bias being displayed here is yours. This is open corruption; anyone honest and ethical would be appalled regardless of political affiliation. I’m outraged, and it matters not if it’s a D or R appointment. Your response lets everyone know exactly the kind of person you are.

Pointing out facts ≠ “political hit job”

Jalopnik can do as Jalopnik pleases, even tell hard truths about things that might make you uncomfortable—-in the interest of informing its broader audience. Jalopnik reports on all vehicles of all sorts, be they cars, trucks, cybertrucks (sigh) , planes, and yes, even the odd yacht. That they choose to report on…

This means O’Connor is a citizen. He’s voted, paid taxes and has a social security number

It doesn’t. There are other sections in the linked laws for if the parents are out of wedlock where the baby can still have citizenship, there’s just more requirements about how long they lived in the US for.

More than half the country doesn’t have a passport - IIRC it’s at 42% do currently. Up from 15% pre-9/11.

Good thing he wasn’t born in New Mexico, those idiots would have deported him on the spot. <facepalm>

It’s not terribly surprising that some Tesla fanboys are also turd polishing enthusiasts.

Why stop at polishing? They should curve them too and turn the car into a rolling Archimedes death ray

Who knew the center of Hell was Nebraska?

Just when I think this car can’t possibly be more of a hazard to society, someone finds a new way
