Damn, things are not looking good for Tesla. I can’t believe they just keep pumping out cars despite the fact that they don’t seem to be selling well. I guess it’s just another sign of Musk not willing to face reality.

Same here. I think once electronic shifting gets to the ~$1000 USD range for a full groupset then I might consider it on a new bike, but I have no reason to upgrade my current road bike’s mechanicals. 

Oh yeah that would’ve gone over much better. Get yer head out of your ass 

And this is 100% why you field test things before you release them to your audience, and you make sure your testers aren’t a monoculture.

Oh Gee... you’re telling me an organization that puts on a car show where most of the participants are people with lots of money and no taste happens to be extremely politically conservative?

I’m shocked!!

Eh, SEMA has been a pile of shit for a while and sucked the entire time. This unfortunately doesn’t come as a surprise. 

I guess my question is why is there a race category on a red light ticket? If there is an option for Not Applicable then it sounds like we can drop the category all together.

Oh good, so now SEMA is evil too, great.

They knew.

Ability to mess with other’s shifters will be part of a CompetitionPlus subscription service. 

I’m a cyclist and I refuse to be forced into using electronic shifting. I have the latest Campagnolo Record 12 speed disc brake/mechanical shifting gruppo on my 2024 Pinarello. The shifting works great and it’s got no batteries that have to be charged and that will be impossible to find replacements for in a couple of…

Really, this is a list of red flags for expensive cars. If you buy almost nothing but shitboxes like I do, it’s a list of what every other ad is going to look like.

He could change his mind if he hadn’t openly admitted at a campaign rally that he’s only changing his tune about EVs because of the money mElon Mush is giving him.

And he doesn’t have a sincere bone in his body. Nothing that comes out of his mouth should be taken seriously.

If there’s one thing the Red Hat contingent really loves, it’s people telling them what they should and should not do.

Make it illegal for dealerships to do much of the sh*t they do.

I’ve spent a lot of time learning about personal finance and I’m naturally very frugal. That said, I’m less inclined than I used to be about financial-shaming people. The deck is usually stacked, there’s a power imbalance, and a car purchase is usually not a discretionary luxury purchase for most people. This comment…

Believe it or not, it’s possible to care about more than one thing at a time. And if you’d like to see fewer people die, that means changing our infrastructure to prioritize safety over speed. One of the biggest obstacles to getting that done is fire departments fighting every single change that might possibly make…

I’m trying to think of a business magnate who has so thoroughly ground his reputation into the dirt as Elon has and I am completely blank.

I’m just SITTING here. Haven’t even had coffee yet.
