I only stopped for fuel and a bathroom break every 400 miles until I reached my destination. We’re guys, of course we’re going to try to make up time on a road trip by holding it in until the car needs gas.

Doesn’t present-day SpaceX have higher reliability, in terms of launch success rates and landing success rates, compared to NASA from the Apollo through Space Shuttle eras? Boeing of course has a poor track record as of late, but don’t mix that up with the track record of SpaceX or even Roscosmos

Both are just buzzwords used by manufacturers to stir up sales. There are probably very few parts actually shared between a 2017 and 2024 Tesla Model 3, it’s just that they didn’t save up all of the changes to slap onto some new sales gimmick, they just added more of them slowly over time. Different batteries,…

I very much disagree. I’ve been daily driving a Model 3 for 6 years. If you actually take care of it and don’t trash it like it’s a rental car, it will still look and act like new.

Let’s math some maths with citations.

Basically completely different on the front, except for the placement of the “T” logo. Not a single line is the same. Overall ‘look’ is of course similar, because it’s the same model of car. Almost every car maintains the same overall look between refreshes and between generations.

When inflation among other things made the average gasoline car cost $48,000.

Tesla Model 3, long range RWD with 363 miles of range, is currently $34,990 after federal incentives, or $29,990 in states like Colorado.

Move to Colorado and it’s $29,990 for a new Model 3, pretty close. Average new gas car is $48,000 so it’s doing good price-wise regardless.

Mustang is on a 9 to 11 year refresh cycle. F-150 is on a 5 year refresh cycle (longer than Model Y, so far, which has only been around for 4 years).

It was impossible for them to keep their EV market share. If you have 95% of the market, and suddenly there are 30+ competitors, of course they’re going to take some of it away.

Except it wasn’t a natural forest. It was a tree farm. There is this whole thing called “forestry” that involves harvesting trees as a renewable resource. They cut down 500,000 trees and proceeded to plant 1,000,000 more elsewhere.

“We are considerably ahead of where Tesla is. We’ve taken that mantle. When I was at Tesla, Tesla was the tech leader. They’ve become distracted, and we have taken that place,” he said, referring to what he believes is Lucid’s tech advantage in batteries, software, and powertrain.

My house and car use bluetooth, so no internet is no problem. For payments, if the internet is down, credit cards weren’t going to work anyway.

It’s wild how the implementation of TPMS varies so much between manufacturers. Some tell you low pressure, some show the exact pressure of all 4 tires. Some you need a tool to reset, reading the sensors in a specific order, while others automatically calibrate once you start driving. I’m at the point now where all 4…

The better implementation of this would be to have the ID accessible from the lock screen, but then just show basic info and a QR code. The officer then scans the QR code with their own phone, which pulls up your full information so they wouldn’t even need to look closely at your phone let alone touch it.

You realize that it is Boeing that is responsible for the Boeing Starliner issues, and not SpaceX, which is a separate company, right?

Are electric vehicles more likely to catch on fire in event of a crash

Or what makes it different than a normal semi truck carrying 150 gallons of diesel fuel? Which for the record is also a hazardous material that releases toxic fumes when burned, and doesn’t even need to be mixed with water first for it to leach into the groundwater.

Mostly for when you’re just driving and working the accelerator and brake simultaneously. If you’re slowing down a lot, slow down first, then shift. You can still use your right foot to brake if your left foot is busy, it doesn’t mean 100% of your braking needs to be left foot.
