“I was underwater on my Suburban for a significant amount of time, and now I have a reservation on a Rivian.”

$30,000 is very overpriced.  And I absolutely love this platform, but if the 400Z entry price rumors are true, especially with an LSD, then this is shaping up for very dismal sales.

10 years ago buddy of mine was at a tech conference where Mr. Toyoda himself outlined what was required to achieve fully self driving cars. He said it would be easily 20 years in the future. So 10 years remaining. ....Easily.

Until FSD is actuality a reality, how could Tesla possibly know if the car has all the components needed? I don’t even think FSD will even materialize during the useful life of cars being sold today. The only thing these idiots have purchased is a voluntary $10K donation to Musk’s net worth.

Sure, if we’re talking about a 2001 Ford focus.
That’s a freakin F50, one of 349, that Ferrari themselves knew was reported stolen.
There is not a single way that he unknowingly bought it “in good faith”.
5 minutes research before dropping 1.5 mil would’ve told him it was a stolen car.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the car is angled into traffic and the wheel is turned waiting for the opportunity to make the left turn?

Did you watch the video at all? she linked it at the time stamp to show all the turns. The sketchy one was the last aborted left turn. The system didn’t detect a truck AND a truck towing a boat as a moving target (yellow designation instead of the blue in the other attempts) and was literally about to pull in front of…

even then, they have no claim whatsoever. They got sold stolen goods, the actual owner is known, Ferrari confirmed they owned the car, and reported it stolen.
Idk what Miami dude think he’s gonna accomplish, but I don’t see him getting the car. Becoming a witness and going after who sold it to him, sure, but the car…

I woke up about 15 minutes ago, turned on my phone, and this was the very first notification I got.

In my neighborhood we have a problem with spoiled and entitled children being a nuisance on dirtbikes and ATV’s. They ride in as irresponsible of a manner as you can imagine, speeding down sidewalks, through park playgrounds with toddlers playing in them, do donuts in baseball fields and play chicken with cars. Every…

“Anyone surprised that there are two ‘Blue Lives Matter’ flags in his garage?”

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I feel the same way about Doug DeMuro’s videos, “these would be much better with less Doug DeMuro.”

I want to put one of these on my truck but I also don’t want to get a brick thrown through my truck window.

The amazing thing about these cars is how complete they were. Bespoke gauges, that transmission tunnel, everything was so meticulously finished and just looks perfect. It is a crime against humanity that the rest were destroyed.

Just saw your original comment about gear reduction - yes, you’re completely right, basically every turbine engine has an internalized gear reduction, since you need to get the power out of the turbine anyways, before it ever even sees a transmission. These are usually in the range of 3:1 to 10:1. That turbine speed…

Everyone else on the road is also a non-consenting participant in this “beta”.

Musk’s tweet does not say FSD Capability, it just says FSD Beta. ‘Full Self Driving’ is misleading name and you know it. “Full Self Driving” I’d expect at least level 4.  This isn’t even level 3 yet.

didn't you fly to Germany in the middle of the pandemic? 

I disagree. Before de Nysschen came in and unilaterally determined that the brand only needed a new naming nomenclature rather than investment in new vehicles, Infiniti was essentially a Japanese BMW to Lexus’ Japanese MB. The original G35 was rated by more than car rag at the time as the best alternative to the…
