Awesome feature. Poking around the power options on my work-issued Dell on Windows 10, I see nothing of the sort

What a wacky gray area. If you took a coupe, cut the door in half, put a hinge on the other side so the doors opened like a wild west saloon, would that also make it a sedan?

Good catch, thanks. Still pretty hilarious that you can buy a 4-door 2-seat car from the factory

As long as you’re in the path of totality, the corona will be visible to the naked eye for in excess of 4 minutes. Play it safe and look down with plenty of time to spare before totality ends of course.

I’ll start off with one of my best photos from 2017. This was just with an ordinary handheld point-and-shoot camera with a good zoom. No filter. Naked eye type shot.

I guess it’s a good thing then that lithium comes from evaporating briny salt water ponds and collecting the deposits on the bottom.

Taycan Turbo GT seems like it could be the most track-capable EV on sale, and for it to be a four-door sedan is awesome

So the responsibility to care for your battery falls on you.

I’m just thinking like the industry standard. If you sign into your Microsoft account, Bitwarden, State Farm insurance, Ring, etc it all shows the IP. Often it shows the country as well, but some show the city. While it wouldn’t help if the hacking attempt was local, it would be an immediate red flag if I saw my Tesla…

Agreed. I would even expect that you get an email with IP address when you log into a new location, but I tested that out myself and you don’t even get that.

I don’t watch Dimension 20, but I was definitely not expecting him to be using some sort of Texas-like accent

That too, but what incredibly small percentage of people who are stopping for 10 to 30 minutes at a Tesla charger are going to also be browsing to, let alone also logging into, Tesla’s website? If some random person went to browse to Facebook and it asked for your Tesla credentials instead, that should make pretty…

EVs tend to push the wheelbase out and just have less overhangs, since they don’t need things like engines, fuel tanks, and exhaust. The R2 is not only shorter in length than a Model Y but also shorter than a Model 3. So with the R3 being even smaller than that, it’s pretty short for a crossover.

The custom firmware part would be to require the user to visit a hotel-style landing page required to complete the wifi connection, and be able to intercept the input in plaintext

I did not have Hank Green appears on Jalopnik on my 2024 bingo card!

Agreed, the same thing could be accomplished with custom firmware on a router and/or a commercial router, and just have the login page be a spoof. The key perhaps would be to use the 2FA code quick enough before it expired (30 seconds?)

I see those flying over my house occasionally... in New Hampshire

That, and an incredibly small sample size. They point to 1 or 2 examples, compared to one week earlier, and extrapolate that out to the entire market?

I was traveling and was right on the centerline a bit north of Charleston, and was absolutely shocked when I experienced NO traffic getting back to Myrtle Beach. I must’ve booked it out before the traffic ramped up or something.
