I don’t own a wallet nor keyring; the less things I have to carry around the better. I’ve currently got a phone case that holds 2 cards, so I’ve got my license and a credit card in there for the places that don’t yet accept touch payments. In a perfect world, I could have a thinner phone case and not need to carry…

Even at $66k, that’s below the median $70k household income in the US. If you are trying to say that $10k is not a significant amount of money for the median American family, I have news for you.

When stalking is the main point of talking about it, live information versus weeks or months for information is actually exactly the point

I used Chevrolet’s website to sort dealer inventory by lowest priced, and there’s a $26,890 Bolt EV about 100 miles from me, which would be $19,390 after federal tax credit

It’s not an “overage” on taxes, it’s liability on taxes. If you’re single making about $45k/yr with no kids, you probably pay around $7500 in federal taxes. I can assure you that someone making $45k/yr will definitely notice an extra $10k MSRP in a car they’re shopping for.

As it stands, the cheapest gas-powered car you can buy in America is the Nissan Versa, which can be yours for around $16,000, while the cheapest EV [Chevy Bolt EUV] is more than $10,000 more expensive.

And how long would that take? So long that it wouldn’t be relevant anymore by the time you received the information

The big difference is that theoretically select public servants having access to certain portions of that data (cars being tracked), versus in an airplane’s case, literally anyone from a stalker to a 5 year old messing around on their parent’s iPad has access to its current location.

Sure, but at least it’s there for people who occasionally need it. I’m 6'2" and I don’t really fit, but a kid absolutely could. We have the 2-row Y

Tesla Model Y around $45k is the obvious answer for 3 row SUV, and the best selling vehicle model of any fuel type or any body style in the world right now.

There’s about 45 EV models for sale in the US right now, seems like it covers quite a lot of the market

I think you would be surprised. TSA maintains an actually really good Instagram account with hilariously punny captions. They post tons, and I mean TONS of photos of the stuff people try to smuggle in on a daily basis. Knifes inside stuffed animals, knifes hidden in pant legs, swords hidden in walking canes, single…

6,542 guns were confiscated just in 2022 from attempting to carry them through airport security checkpoints in the US.

Here’s an example of a 2019 Tesla Model 3 RWD for $24,995, AND because it’s sold through a dealership, it should qualify for the $4,000 IRA 2023 used EV tax credit, really making it $21k

I was thinking to just build in an uninhabited area and start over, and connect it by a train to a nearby city. It seems really silly to plop this car-less neighborhood next to a highway surrounded by streets and cars

I don’t really know what I was expecting it to look like, maybe like Disney Springs? But this certainly wasn’t it:

I remember years ago they weren’t allowed to read speed limit signs with cameras due to a patent from MobilEye or something, but maybe that situation has since been sorted out

It’s a good question. I don’t know what Tesla uses for speed limit recognition, but I’ve found it to be quite accurate. A few exceptions like when they suddenly close off part of the highway during a huge construction project and it might take a week for the maps to get updated, so it falls back to the default side…

I’m 35 and my only memory of AM radio was as a child hearing sports scores in the family car. I’ve absolutely never turned on AM myself. My car doesn’t have it and I’m fine with that.
