yeah I chalked that much up to graphics issues lol The engineering challenges of this and the wide area of failure just seem pretty extreme.

Just a matter of delicately grabbing a multi-ton payload at Mach 12.

Jalop has heard your input idea. All stories will now be slideshows.

CostCos return policy is one of the best.  Be curious how that translates to cars...lol

or he’ll literally use a different color on purpose to ‘stick it to the man’, thus making the ‘standard’ less useful - purely out of spite.

This is one of those major under recognized problems with at scale systems. There’s literally no training, or training REQUIREMENT, for ‘new’ and quite significant functionality for multi ton moving killing machines.

using the parking brake allows them to be even better!

Driving is a *privilege* not a right.

assumption of body condition may be overstated

funny.  The roads nearby aren’t built for the traffic so, uh, enjoy the gridlock!

Obligatory - with this you can bypass secondary border screening with flying colors

We have a muni/regional airport about a 1/2 mile away. God damned politicians decided they should start allowing commercial flights. Upwards of 30 737-800 flights a day.

Also, less than 0.5% of vehicles on the road isn’t exactly an epidemic.

Sure.  Starts with A....ends with Z.  About covers the, ahem, lot of them

that guy’s attorney knows full well.  He also knows he’s got a retainer already in the bank.   He’ll happily file everything this guy wants, b/c that retainer gets replenished.

As I said “ *Much* more complicated.”

sure but they *do* say when and where you can sue them ala arbitration via a hostile (to you) company/court.   *Much* more complicated.

Yeah, this is the exact thing the gov should be really pushing. ‘small’ in town cars with lower specs n range but enough to regular use. 100 miles a day isn’t regular use.

Indeed, bazookas for everyone who wants one!

The problem is also the natural gas scenario. If you let the choice be at the consumer level...it just stays nat gas because it’s there. If PHEVs exist, there’s no serious demand to install the infrastructure of EV chargers, b/c people don’t *have* to have it. People will just continually use the gas portion rather tha…
