Honestly even if Autopilot was possible to activate on that road - which people showed almost immediately it was not - turning it on there would be human error. Just the same as if I turned on ACC and set it to 60 in my Pacifica Hybrid in the same spot. The problem would be me doing something incredibly dumb, not…

I did that to a 1971 house. We decided we wanted to be closer to family as soon as the first kid that we’d bought the house to live in with was born. About broke even in money terms but the time and annoyance of getting painted wallpaper off the ceiling can never be recovered.

And we aren’t talking about her extremely bad tweets where she talks about how much she personally hates Elon Musk. Which, you know, is her right, but might not make her the best candidate for this job.

I’m not convinced that’s a real picture. Look at the wheel angles and shadows.

What is going on with the shadows in that picture of the Saab? It looks like the picture has been somehow altered.

I wonder if he hit an irresponsible speed, like, uh, 50, on that road, and then it was so bumpy and jarring that he panicked and put his feet the wrong places.

Tesla doesn’t need to continue being two-thirds of the US EV market to keep going, because the EV market is getting larger and larger. Other automakers’ EV fleets will replace their own ICE fleets more than Tesla’s tiny overall market share.

Lack of warranty, and they’ve lightly modded it.

There’s 7-year-old examples of both you can price-shop right now, though prices of everything are crazy right now.

Or the XC40 which, as Steve points out, has the exact range boost that this goofiness supposedly gave the C40.

The Bolt’s rear-vision camera is nice...until it rains. Raining and at night? Holy astigmatism Batman.

I mean, it’s not a deathtrap, it’s had its oil changed regularly, it’s presumably got thousands of siblings in junkyards...you could certainly do worse for $9000.

The Carfax report adds a little more color; it hit 23,000 miles in 2006 and has been driven very little since. Maybe it really was an “old couple drives it to church” car.

The salaried people now working the line are in a tough position. They aren’t eligible for the union, don’t have union protection, and will lose their jobs if they don’t do it. I don’t think that’s exactly what “scab” means.

X factory workers definitely assemble better Xs than accountants for the X manufacturing company.

I was next to a Silverado “TEXAS EDITION” (I live in Pennsylvania) last weekend that had black plastic caps over all its lights. The sheetmetal was painted white, though.

That’s one of my favorite things about toddlers, how much they love making people laugh but have zero understanding that it was funny because it was surprising

And...would you buy a car from your neighbor?

Yep, I missed a deer this week and my first thought was “thank goodness I don’t have to go car shopping!”

Disagree, this is finally something Erik’s tone works for, like the one day a year where the sunset aligns perfectly with the street grid in Manhattan.
