I have been in a friends Model 3 on autopilot where it had a couple“ close calls” that seemed like it could make a mistake and then corrects at the last second. Like it was going to hit a curb but then corrects. You get used to close calls, there is not time to react once you realize it’s not a “close call” but…

Seems like a tempting place to use it so you can look around at Yosemite instead of driving.

came here for this.   looks like plenty of room to react to something if you are at all paying attention

Trigger warning to Tesla stans:

Do the utes of today recognize the hard work and suffering of earlier generations of BRATs, El Caminos and Mavericks?

Yep. Some of the work rules are insane. Case in point: Back in my old Chrysler zone office days, I once got called out for using corporate letterhead, typing my own letters, and daring to use the shared printer, which was way faster than putting it on the union secretary’s desk and waiting two days for her to screw it…

Unions are important. With that said: Auto engineers unable to turn their own wrenches is unbelievably idiotic. (Note that, if you’re “in” with the union folks, they’ll often let you wrench. But you shouldn’t need to ask to install a part that you just designed). 

Good! This is how it should have always been.  Now make it so we can order certain things WITHOUT having to get other things that we do not want. 

He definitely has the same knack for vague hyperbole and cloudy promises.

Considering I’ve made well more than my $100 deposit on TSLA since the announcement, you can be quite sure I’m happy with it.

They sell like every Y they make, so it’s just a sound business choice to go with what’s clearly making money dude.

These vaccines are 95% effective at keeping you from severe cases. A number which is quickly dropping as more “breakthrough” (as they call it) cases arise.

Coming from the person who doesn’t realize the vaccine isn’t FDA approved and doesn’t stop them from contracting the virus, nor spreading it to others. The same person who ignores the science proving children getting symptoms are next to non existent.

If you’re going to tout “science”, at least have the balls to…

One would think those vaccinated would have faith in their vaccine and stop worrying about those who choose not to get an experimental shot that isn’t FDA approved.....

Given that the next article in my Jalopnik feed deals with Bronco roof issues, I think waiting a year or two for Ford’s seemingly inevitable ‘Poor Quality Is Job 1' issues to be resolved is the wise move.

“I am looking to get a Ford Maverick when they hit the dealers.”
Prepare to get no deal whatsoever and in fact a market adjustment bump.

Why the hate? Someone’s gotta fork over the big bucks if our governments won’t. Let the Bazillionare Space Race commence, and godspeed, I say. We’ll get some actual technological advancements that will further mankind’s journey into the cosmos, while also having a chance to witness some one-percenter explode on…

This is like people stopping at the top of an escalator while they decide which way to go.

Taking inspiration from China I see.

As someone who doesn’t follow Nascar at all. . . doesn’t the new car always suck? I feel like every few years, there’s a lot of handwringing about how “the next-gen car sucks!” and it’s a sign of the sport going downhill, and then everyone gets used to it and the cycle repeats.
