A decade ahead? Really? I’d put it more like a year or so a head, at most.

I think the false narrative is that Tesla is far ahead on EVs. It’s simply not. EVs are not difficult. EVs are difficult to make profitably - so no one else is really doing it. And Tesla isn’t really doing it either. Tesla has no special technology. You can do the math yourself on the EPA range - Tesla simply lies…

I think Tesla’s technology lead is often overestimated.

This is the last straw.

Tesla already does this, but Volkswagen’s new army of software engineers has so far failed to establish a robust link between the car and the company’s cloud-based applications that it has been developing with Microsoft Corp.

From what I recall, I don’t think they’re bringing the ID3 to the U.S. because they already know there isn’t much demand for it. Instead, they’re planning to bring the ID4 which is basically an EV Tiguan but on the new MEB platform. Should do OK, I would think.

Serious question:

You made a spelling error. Should have been “ Fuck them”

That’s gonna trigger a whole lot of good ol’ boys.

Nuh-uh, the owner only has liability!

So you’re saying that they’re terrorists who were taking orders from a chain of terrorist command. Cool, got it.

So, what I’m getting from this is, “It’s okay, because they were following orders.”

Even if it’s justified, they should have just pulled the valve core using a tool. It takes barely a few more seconds and won’t ruin the tire.

They are bigger thugs than the “thugs” they’re killing on a daily basis.

Wonder what the penalty would be for slashing police tires, as they are a danger to citizens.

This is petty and despicable. We need Police who are mature and capable of working under pressure... like their training supposedly prepares them for. Not acting out and vandalizing cars like a bunch of emotionally out of control teenagers.

Let me take this large hex head fitting out with a lock-jaw pipe wrench...

The brake rods all seem to have just a single nut holding them on. If this thing went any faster, I’d suggest some jam nuts.
