Yep, and then they’ll call you a communist for having the audacity to give a shit about people other yourself.

Yeah, but in the US you have FREEDOM!!!!!*, or some other stupid reason for not protecting people.

“You wouldn’t believe the folks that want to do harm and try to do things to hurt others and we’re reluctant to put inspection reports out there repair rotting-out old bridges that would show where we already know there’s a weakness in a structure, for fear that someone might do something at that location. accuse…

RC cars are cool.

Which in turn will provide an opportunity for a certain commenter here to tell us why we’re the morons, and NFTs are Great, Actually.

Good thing you didn't click on it

We’re calling it the Busy Forks.  It will never be “Beyond Zero 4x” to me.  What a bunch of marketing wank.

But oof, what a name. This would be a good example of leveraging brand recognition to sell a new EV. Just call it the Rav-E. Or E-Rav. Who cares if it’s not even the same platform as the Rav-4. Use the name, sell the cars. (Just don’t pull a ford and try to call it the Supra-E).

It’s not brilliant at all and never was. It’s the idiotic gotcha that doesn’t really work. There are free or very cheap apps and programs that can adjust the audio enough to dodge the AI if needed. This is one of those stupid meme things that probably got shared in a bunch of secret cop facebook groups without an…

The number of car fires with gasoline is something like 3 cars for every 200 wrecks, there is a car fire.

For electric vehicles? It’s 10,000 accidents to get to 3 EV battery fires and those fires typically DO NOT happen at the scene. Usually days later, at a wrecker yard, where a fire is far less of a risk to the…

I mean I don’t see cars exploding left and right, it also doesn’t take hundreds of gallons of water to put out, they just gotta encase the batteries better.

Even I, old and decrepit as I am, understand this: After a hot minute as the new catchy catch phrase, “cancel culture” was exposed as the feeble protest of the privileged against accountability. You have to be living in a special kind of bubble to still utter those words unironically.

It’s weird how “cancel culture” is pretty much “a rich person can’t do whatever they want.”

Geez I get so f’ing tired of people using buzz words to act like they are being mistreated.

“We cannot achieve our 50% profit margins and compete with Tesla on range and acceleration”

I’m Shocked!

This was my take also. Mercedes ain't making affordable cars? Huh. 

I mean, what counts as “affordable” these days? The MSRP on the Nissan Leaf starts under 30k. The Chevy Bolt is about 32k.

Absolutely. And an ROI problem - if you expect me to be on call, work all the time, never see my family - it better damn well be worth it.

Agreed 100%.
