TESTING, eh? Tesla tests thousands of cars over millions of miles annually with a wide variety of test drivers that happily pay Tesla for the priviledge. It’s known as Customer Amortized Beta User Situational Examination, “Customer ABUSE” for short.

So, basically, non-Tesla carmakers have standards?

Kind of a weird flex for Bugatti mentioning Nevada when they won’t let anyone else run on their glass smooth test track designed specifically for top speed runs. Watching the in car videos of the two runs it’s pretty clear which run was more difficult to pull off.

You read my mind. GM could move their headquarters overseas and call it a day. 

Holy shit yes. My CX-5 beeps at me every time I use the directional, and I’m doing it right! Yes, I know there’s a car to right right of me, I’m passing it! I’m putting my directional on to indicate I’ll be moving back into that lane. I’m telegraphing my intentions to everyone in a timely manner. BEEP!
