Even when they are controlled automatically with a thermostat? In my car, for example, you set the thermostat, i.e. “68", and then it uses a combination of blowing warm or cool air, heated seats, or heated steering wheel to accomplish it. Unless you’re being exceptionally picky, you don’t need to manually go press a…

‘Born In The Air’ Pilot Helps Deliver Baby During Flight To Thailand

Remember, the Cybertruck Foundation Series costs about $120,000 when new.

Tesla Model 3 (and wife’s Tesla Model Y) — it makes an alert chime if you touch both pedals at once, left foot braking be damned! Basically everything else on the car is configurable, down to if you want the car to automatically scold you from being a left lane hog, but disabling the two pedal chime is not one of the…

Right, so basically none of the accused are responsible for the actual problem. The loads of satellites in LEO will knock themselves out, especially the modern ones with active deorbit. Satellites higher up are in much smaller numbers and launched by other parties entirely, many by foreign entities.

Which facts exactly are you confronting me with? Which math was I incorrect on? Baseless accusation with no citations the literal opposite of a fact.

Starlink constellation is 46% complete according to current numbers in orbit versus NASA’s projected final constellation numbers published in 2019.

The current number is 38, and they’re expected to deorbit this year. Starlink constellation is about 50% complete. The thing about a 200-340 mile altitude is that they deorbit and burn up on re-entry naturally a lot quicker than the non-constellation satellites of yore that are more in the 5000-13000 mile altitude…

Perhaps the bigger problem is that billionaire man-children are waging their dick-measuring contest in space and keep sending shit up there faster than it can be burned up.

ETH Zurich Mayhem EV did 0-62 mph in 0.956 seconds back in 2023 also just using its tires. Of course the car weighed a lot less.

This is a weird list, and I’ll explain why...

A Prius has no right to look that good, especially in yellow! But dang, that’s got to be one of the best looking cars on sale today.

For anyone reading this in the future, if it’s near or on the edge of the tire, only consider the plug a very very temporary solution.

Nowadays I just have my go-to parking garage and park there even if it’s quite a walk to my destination. Easy-in easy-out, open 24/7 as far as I’ve encountered, automated pay terminal and such, and free bathroom!

Years ago I parked in an underground parking garage in an unfamiliar part of a city and came up through a stairwell in a mall. Went to a baseball game. Came back and the mall was closed so I couldn’t get back down the same stairwell. There’s a zillion underground parking garages and some of them connect. Took over an…

The bumpers are different, along with some stuff on the back.

It’s terrifying how many people are Flat Earthers these days. I blame the TikTok generation from being brainwashed by watching all those clips. I think I saw something recently that 40% of American teenagers are open to the idea of the Earth being flat

Tesla did not invent trim levels for cars, nor did they invent photos of cars, nor car commercials.

Late to the party. My comment was half a work day before that article got posted

I’m not aware of a national circuit for EV drag racing yet, just the weekend drag strip folks kicking butt in their Plaids.
