In my experience (limited as it is), the “jerk mode” slider is engaged when the driver elects to purchase the Tesla in the first place.

At some point in the far off future when all cars drive themselves, the laws will be changed but until that point, the cars that drive themselves, even at a base level, should not be programmed to break the laws that the human drivers are expected to obey. As long as humans are still being pulled over for rolling…

So why does organic mean “no pesticides” for chickens but not for humans?

I have to admit I don’t get the appeal of either this or the Telluride.

I’m 6 foot tall even. I drive a 2016 Mini Cooper S (4 door) and have plenty of room. I don’t have the seat all the way back and if I do I can’t get the clutch to the floor so it might be OK for someone with another 4 inches on my height. I have had people at gas stations and such ask me how I even fit in the car but…

I don’t have them anymore but my Wrangler had amateur radio call sign plates and I used that radio quite a lot. A couple times I was contacted by someone else driving behind me on that radio who saw the plate and wanted to say Hi. They’re useful to a point. I could get the plates back if I ever wanted to since I’m the…

The only thing I have to say is that I have an addon for my browser which automatically replaces certain words in web sites so this entire article is full of references to the “Can’tstandthem” clan...

My first car was a 1976 El Camino that was missing all of the parts for the heater. The heater core was missing. There was a hose that just closed the loop where the antifreeze should have gone to the heater. The blower was gone, controls were disconnected, and there was a hole in the firewall where the parts should…

I find myself in the odd position of being very interested in the success and future of electric cars and having absolutely no desire to actually own one.

You forgot the picture of the car that actually looks good...

That wasn’t the point though. The point was that paying for anything, whether it’s “one and done” or recurring will have a financial “impact”. That isn’t news.

This article mentions no less than twice that people will be financially “impacted” by resuming student loan payments. Well duh? I’m “financially impacted” by buying a stick of gum. I’m not looking forward to resuming payments either but of course doing so will be a financial impact. What else could it be?

You have to at least mention all of the Camaros, Firebirds, and other “4 seat” coupes where the back seat is nothing more than an afterthought. Any adult would have a hard time riding in the back seats of those things.

They left of the Queen Family Truckster from Vacation too.

I don’t care to breath your foot odor. Leave the shoes on.

It won’t keep butts off the road. People think that if they keep the actual butt out of the car then suddenly their car won’t stink. They think that if they smoke with the cigarette sort of out the window all that smoke will just never be in the car. They’re wrong but it doesn’t stop them.

One of the first things I do on any car I buy is to disable the horn, just in case I hit it accidentally... can’t imagine having an actual train horn on a car.

Actually, it’s not too early to ask who did (past tense) more...but that answer may change as time goes on for Musk.

Well, there hasn’t been a “good” looking car made since the 50s, so no surprise here.

Until every car is self driving (i.e., decades away, at best), self driving won’t solve this problem. You’d have to force everyone to replace their car and eliminate all human drivers for self driving to completely solve the drunk driving problem.
