Um - so this is a Tesla only thing? Can’t wait til all those fancy new 2020-2022 cars hit the road (you know, Porsche, Mustang E and just about every other company that banked on this to be their CARB number maker). And this is not just an issue at remote chargers, it’s an issue for household locations. How many…

And in other worlds - limit the true luxury flier, those with personal jets. I remember recently that Google held their annual environmental summit in Italy and all the who’s who of the world took their own private planes. Why? If they don’t want to mix with the common folk (some have legit reasons not to) then I’m…

They already do tax the hell out of FF. Take a look at your ticket price - more than half is taxes. Recently I got a “free” ticket from using my miles (mind you collected over 5 years) and the taxes cost me $1400 to use. Sure it was a business class ticket, but I’ve flown the same route - even a longer one - in…

Not just Tesla issue - rental car, an advanced package BMW with lane assist... sudden narrowing of the road caused the car to swerve into oncoming traffic. Counter steered it immediately the other way just in time... to slam into the curb (it was a panicked reaction after all). Could have been much worse - and that’s…

You just know that there is a team of mapping geniuses working overtime at Tesla to program-in ideal lines through the entire ring run and they will autopilot the sucker. If they aren’t they are really missing a PR opp.

It’s got one VERY good reason to be done... LIDAR won’t bounce off it. Hmmm.. stealth car. (once they get the chrome begone applied)

Some cars don’t have touch screen displays and use the big knob (older BMW, Mercedes are two examples)... in the case of Mercedes, the dashboard buttons for nav/tel/media, when in carplay mode, open maps/telephone/now playing, respectively. Kind of handy considering the knob method is a PITA. However, the nav button…

Screw the mirrors/cameras... give us laser lights! DOT is so far behind the world - it makes the FDA look like rocket scientists.

Thumb-based TBs are a pain on the joints. Please make more full-hand trackballs! There is so much that can be done to innovate that industry. I still keep an old Kensington laying around at the office so it mixes up my mouse use from traditional to track helping keep carpal tunnel syndrome at bay.

Thumb-based TBs are a pain on the joints. Please make more full-hand trackballs! There is so much that can be done…

E30 and the BMWs of that era had a “deadbolt” in the doors of sorts. If you locked to position one (using a key) it would leave the handles inside the car functioning. If you locked to position 2, you could use your car as a jail since it disabled the handles internally. Kinda miss that - would love to see the face on…

Hopefully Apple has blog post readers on staff... How about an option on that pop up... call it - “Install this at XX:XX O’clock. I understand it will reboot regardless of what is going on at that time and if I didn’t save my document, tough luck for me...” or some other friendlier version of that concept. My issue is…

Firefox can have me back if they resurrect Firebug PROPERLY. The so called dev tools and rollup (supposedly) of firebug code is total bullshit. Firebug worked fantastically, now there is nothing in any of the browsers of any worth. Console - sure, basic inspector, yea, DOM so what... I want my PHP bug, I want the old…

I had to read some comments to come to this conclusion - but basically Mazda figured out how to make engine knock functional. Right? Lean fuel mix in regular engines causes detonation - they just tamed it with an ECU, high compression cylinders and guts and timed a spark in case it was needed or to ensure well-timed…
