Exactly. Not on autopilot (for nearly a minute before the crash) and the driver’s foot was on the throttle. This is a bad driver story, not a Tesla story. The only reason we’re talking about it is because Teslas have cameras built in and they capture bad driver behavior and go viral.

Can’t blame em for selling what people buy though....

Just a shame that it’s only a luxury truck instead of, you know, a truck. I mean, the bed length is only 4'7". This is a lifestyle accessory for people making a comfortable six figures, not a useful vehicle for getting shit done. It’s a truck costume, for posing only.

This is the ugliest thing out of BMW literally ever.

I’ll admit that I don’t have the time or inclination to street view my way through all the roads of all the cities, so I’ll have to take your word for it that Chicago, New York, and Minneapolis have been razed to the ground, but do you think that list (plus, as you say, a “few others”) reflects “most” “major cities”?

I heard it was transporting Hunter Biden’s trove of laptops with Hillary’s emails on them.  Or something...

Thanks, I was still reeling from the sticker shock, wasn’t thinking straight.

The main problem with adding lidar, at least in 2020, is that it’s massively expensive. Last I heard it added around $10,000 in hardware costs per vehicle. With Tesla’s hardware model, anyway, is that every car rolls off the assembly line with the same hardware, with certain portions just inactive based on the rolled

Autopilot only allows people to nap at the wheel if you go out of your way to defeat its requirement of actively providing inputs to the wheel. More than a few seconds of hands off the wheel, or no measurable inputs on the wheel and the system will disable itself. Defeating it is akin to putting a photo of yourself

So you’re saying that it’s better at mitigating the biggest and most dangerous downfall of such systems, while everyone else seems to just ignore the basic biology that makes them unsafe? Cool.

Where do these cars go when they’re 4 months old?

Gotta love living in a country where oversight of the food supply chain is so minimal (due to the gullibility of people who think that a lack of regulation on companies who only care about squeezing out every last cent of profit is good for the consumer) that the source of this outbreak is so vague that all the CDC

They were supposed to catch up every year for the last 10 years. The ONLY product I’ve seen that I think that has a remote chance of being competitive is the EV Hummer. Finally, someone built a crazy, desireable product that also happens to be electric - and beating Tesla to the punch for once. It’s something Tesla

I agree with you. If everything is in plain sight and easy to get to, no problems with plugs. However, I would never try to run wires through my house.

Yep, this is exactly it. Those 25% were the people with their panel in the garage, space in the panel for a new 240V breaker, and an easy exterior wall to put a plug on (or they were putting it inside the garage).

I got 4 quotes to install my chargepoint flex, ranging from $900 for a sketchy no-permit type of guy, up to $2400 from a seemingly competent shop. This was with me supplying the flex unit, mind. It blew my mind, frankly - all indoors, no finished walls or ceilings on the wire run.

The source article says 25% installed their own chargers, it doesn’t say 25% installed their own 240V outlet. Since some homes, especially in warmer climates, have the washer and dryer in the garage, it would stand to reason that some of these garages are already wired for 240V. For those folks, “installing” a

EU taxpayer here. Glad my taxes are being spent in things that actually benefit the population. Even more glad that the market is regulated (sadly not enough, but it could be worse).

“A good way to make yourself upset is to log on to the UK website of virtually any automaker and gawk at all of the amazing small and electric cars that are sold in Europe but aren’t sold here, for reasons.”

I don’t know how much of a loss it is, but personally, I think more varieties the better. And I like that little door, that is kind of neat on a little Fiat. I love the (now-discontinued) Fiat 500. It’s so weird that the so-called “car people” almost universally hate it (other than Abarth, of course). I mean, the
