This is sarcasm, right?

Right? Carplay and Android Auto also insure that in any car you drive you have the same interface. Its really nice if you rent cars frequently. Having a proprietary interface in every car makes it a pain in the ass.

You underestimate the power of white GoFundMe.  She’s going to get rich off of this. 

Fuck.

Guy: I want reliability.

“The Chrysler 200 I Bought A Few Months Ago Already Needs To Be Replaced!”

That’s... not how anything works. 

Dealers, I have a car to sell. It’s in high demand and very desirable. Perhaps you can meet me at the location of my choice? I’d like to develop a relationship with you. We can sit down and talk about how much you can afford to pay me, maybe put it in four handy little boxes labled “CASH”, “lotsa money”, “big moolah”…

It is the poor bastards who have to clear up after them that I feel sorry for. Traumatizing ER and Ambulance crews, traumatizing road clear up crews, making innocent passers by who see their corpses and have to call the aforementioned go through all that too. Refusing to wear your seatbelt is not a victimless crime.…

Agree these new 4 series’ have absolutely no character anymore without that awful grill, which makes me think someone realized they designed a generic car that had zero BMW touches and slapped that thing on in a panic. The previous gen was such a gorgeous vehicle even after all the years it was in production. 

Consumer Reports statement is completely true — it is indeed extremely rare for an automaker to remove safety features from a vehicle during a production run. 

Tesla is what you get when a Silicon Valley tech startup makes a car and treats it like an app that just happens to have wheels.

Apparently Tesla had a whole bunch of Model 3 and Model Y waiting for parts until all of a sudden Tesla Vision is ready for production and now those cars are being shipped (or updated at service centers). So, yeah, looks like a software work-around for a parts-supplier issue.

Supply chain issues = make up an excuse to maximize deliveries, especially for a weak Q2 with China sales plummeting. After all, Tesla’s #1 priority is to inflate their stock price.

I wrote the most amazing, beautiful, insightful rebuttal to your non-comment, but it was simply too good for this world, so I’ve purged it from existence.

Now that’s a spectacular combination - no windows but feel free to light up back there kids and bask in that smokey hotbox. Really suck it in.

Don’t forget cargo.  Passengers aren’t the only thing being transported.  Both domestic and international flights carry a crap ton of cargo - products, mail, etc..

Don’t forget the ripple effect. It wasn’t just the grounding of aircraft, but the halt of commerce, supply chains, and manufacturing.

When planes don’t fly, rental cars aren’t rented, products aren’t transported, factories are suspended, workers commute less (or not at all), raw materials aren’t mined. North Korea…

“Dammit, car! We’re taking you off the road, putting you in the apology writing department!”

The Waymo response is so generic yet specific enough that it reads like it was generated by a level 2 autonomous Official Statement generator.
