“I agree, many people are very conservative in what they’ll buy, and freak out if something offers a different set of tradeoffs than what they’re used to, and what society has deemed “normal,” even if the new set of tradeoffs is better for them personally.”

Well the problem is even the dated Leaf is kicking the Bolt’s ass in sales, so someone must be saying the Leaf formula is working. Both aren’t close to Tesla, but I’m not sure if any non-niche automaker can challenge Tesla’s brand position.

100% fault of the escort car. The escort vehicle was supposed to block traffic and also keep a shorter distance between him and the APC, at least that’s how it was supposed to be done. Here however, the distance was too great and the escort kept on going. The other problem is that they didn’t disable the traffic light…

Range issues are pretty much a non-factor if you’re an average car owner once the EV can do 150-200 miles on a charge. Most people don’t go 200 miles in a day or probably in most weeks. Many people also already own two cars, if they need to take a longer trip, they can take the ICE car. Or renting a car for a road…

yeah, when you guys hang out you can go to the beach, I hear he knows a great spot

Ten bucks and a fig newton says this will have a lot of ‘nice guys’ who will hope they can use it to find dates anyway...

It’s possible, but I doubt it. They accept that the Russians tried to stop Macron from being elected and are currently working against Angela Merkel. Plus, everyone in the United States accepts it accept for the guy Putin got elected and his hardcore supporters. Even the Republican party accepts it happened.

Having spent a lot of time with kindergarteners, I’d say Trump’s understanding of the way law enforcement works is probably not too far off from a five year old boy’s. Think of it: They both cannot fathom that the police would ever be wrong. They both like the idea of lights and sirens and big blaster guns that go…

I wonder if he’s ever had a normal interaction - ie: one that doesn’t involve them being paid to tolerate his shit - with any human being!

Posted elsewhere, as well, but I’ve been thinking recently that at some point Trump is going to start believing this is true and woe be to Pence the day that happens.

I wonder if Trump has ever had a “normal” interaction with a police officer before. I assume he’s had his own security his whole adult life and has been driven everywhere since he was born. However, I don’t find anything about his speech surprising at all. It was in character. I would have been more shocked if he…

oh please like the type of website the story is posted on ever stops some commenters from a trump or racial comment

Yes, there are racist black people, just like there are racist Asian and white people... because white people make up the majority most hate crimes you hear about are going to be white people.

We get it, Blacks and anyone not white are the real racist in the nation, therefore justifying everything that happens to them. Don’t give me a gee golly shucks I was just sharing an interesting story or any of that milquetoast bs.

Yes, because this is a website about CARS and this story highlights how she used her CAR and her MANUAL TRANSMISSION to escape.

Honda is leveraged over a lot more models and much higher production per model. Yes they have some issues, but they can absorb them much more easily. Initial quality will be a huge deal for Tesla. Tesla’s ability to deal with the issues will also be tested in a way Honda’s won’t.

I own an electric bike (and an Alfa Romeo 156 T-spark that is far far away from me). I can’t pack this stuff with me whenever me and buddies go out for BBQ in the park to have a lazy siesta. This baby, as hot as it is, is ‘portable’ in one’s backyard - but definitely not a portable one in a real BBQ event.

Please explain us how a 38.9 pounds grill is even remotely “portable”?

No abortion but coerced sterilization is OK? WTF
