Given how Tesla owners will actually use these vehicles, Elon should’ve copied a different concept:

How many recalls has Ford, or GM or anyone other than Tesla had because of dumb ass gimmick they actively included in the vehicle, such as the boombox, gameplay while driving, etc, as opposed to actual component failures or faults?

I know 2 guys named Wolf. They were both German. Also, Eddie Van Halen’s son is named Wolf. 

But the law itself does not say that’s an issue. It only has minimal sound volumes it requires at various bands. Does not specify it has to be a sound that is recognizable as a vehicle.

Wolf is a normal name in German. It’s usually short for Wolfgang, but there are plenty of kids just named Wolf (usually pronounced ‘Voolf’ but in America they’ll often use the Anglicized pronunciation). I know two.

Naming your child Wolf is 1000% better than naming them a misspelled version of a normal name, like Ashleigh or Madysyn or Megyn.

It would need to be a sound that a blind person would recognize as an approaching vehicle.  Your stereo and occasional fart sounds do not convey that at all.

Ford has had 7 recalls since January 1.

for things like cars catching fire, seatbelts not being properly attached, rolling away, fire again, rolling away again, driveshafts falling the fuck off.

but yeah, tesla’s speakers not being quite loud enough is a mortal fucking sin.

My understanding is they are saying the issue is the boombox noise is louder than the original PWS sound (both are coming out from the same speaker). But given the original law was that the PWS is intended to allow pedestrians to hear the car and also the law itself does not specify a specific sound, I’m not seeing…

Maybe I’m not understanding, but what exactly is the issue? Is it that the PWS coming out of the speakers is too loud? Or that the boombox drowns out the PWS? If the boombox is something that can play loud music to the outside world while the car is driving, then I would kindly like to stop my subscription to society…

Hey, c’mon with that dorky Econ 101 talk, everyone knows it’s just the President fiddling with the “Gas Prices” knob on the Resolute Desk.

They should absolutely not temporarily suspend the gas tax. Aside from it being a gimmick, I don’t want to have politicians undermine the stability of road infrastructure funding every time there’s a rise in gas prices.

I for one will welcome the return of the small nimble coupe.

Earth: *Literally burning to the ground while 10 million people a year die preventable deaths from respiratory issues stemming to a decent extent from transportation-related emissions.*

Meanwhile, AAA says that prices will likely rise even higher, given that supply is outstripping demand.

Maybe. Maybe not. 

“on the lamb”

Why favor the shooter? It felt terrible in Overwatch, and it feels pretty bad in Halo. As a player, I can reason away not killing someone. Maybe I missed, or they had more health than expected. I cannot however reason away being killed behind cover. It unilaterally feels terrible to die when you feel like you dodged…

Latency is more important than connection speed and your claim is dubious to begin with even if we are talking speed. Halo 2 came out in 2004. If you’re in the US, which I should remind you isn’t the entire world, most of the population’s internet speeds are much better than then regardless of outliers in the sticks.…

Because if there’s one thing the average driver is much better at doing it’s patching a tire compared as opposed to changing one out.
