Toyota’s Hybrid Sales Are Far Outpacing Its EV Growth

Finally.

Twitter is an echo chamber. People not on Twitter don’t really know or care what Elon is tweeting about

The embedded ABC News quote says:

And in Kentucky, State Representative Steve Rawlings introduced HB 506, which would ban “any form of geoengineering activities,” including “intentional manipulation of the environment, through an atmospheric polluting activity, to effect changes to the earth’s atmosphere or surface.”

None of these exist near me so I’ve only used it once while on vacation, but it was actually a great experience. The signup process itself, including getting your fingerprint for some reason, was very clunky. But once actually in the store, it felt very seamless and if I recall my receipt showed up in my email almost…

Sort of both. The more manual labeling that the guys in India did, the less human intervention the system will / would have needed over time.

Same thing here with Fiat 500. People call it a clown car, but I’m 6'2" and have zero headroom issues. Legs are fine too, and it’s got weirdly SUV-like seating posture.

You’re much better off doing a tour excursion with the cruise ship company rather than a private local tour since they’re much more likely to accommodate the all-aboard time. Same goes for cruise ship staff: if you miss the all-aboard time, you can get in pretty bad trouble including being fired. I’m sure this still…

I would say for everyone just pull over long in advance and just watch the spectacle. It’s kind of shocking that the venn diagram of (people who will be in the area of the eclipse) and (people who are aware of the eclipse) and (people who plan to watch the eclipse) isn’t just a complete circle. I’m traveling quite a…

The difference is that you generally don’t have FOMO about just being outside when it’s ordinary night time

Missed the poll I guess, but Pontiac G8's “Stryker Blue” is my favorite blue on a car. Especially when the sunlight hits it just right and forms a light to dark gradient. Generally in shadow, the color of the door is what you see. It’s also got a metallic flake effect up close. This is mine that I’ve owned for 15…

I’m willing to bet the meeting might have been scheduled there on that day on purpose :-)

That’s actually quite hilarious. Yup, Erie PA is about as close to the centerline as you can get. Anywhere in between the red means totality, blue line is maximum duration. You’ll probably get 3+ minutes of corona and darkness. I’m sure it will be absolute buzz at the office and everybody will voluntarily want to take …

in what may be one of the stupidest plane-related incidents of 2024

Home Depot had eclipse glasses for $1.99 when I went a couple weeks ago, though I imagine they’re probably sold out in most places by now

It will be back, but probably not in your lifetime. The last time solar eclipse totality hit my state before this year seems to be when my grandmother was in middle school.

Quite obviously not a Tesla-exclusive thing.

They took a page right out of Ford’s book and made the model names so confusing and misleading. How many people accidentally bought a Ford Bronco Sport thinking it was Ford Bronco? How many people will buy a Toyota Yaris GR after hearing how awesome the Toyota GR Yaris is?

I guess it’s a semantic difference of “stands for” vs “means”.
