Yesterday my backyard was full of drones.  Turns out, my neighbor is a beekeeper.

Business as usual?

That’s the amount transferred to the states. Then they have to go through the process of deciding where to build, contract out the work, etc. That takes a lot of time. They’re not building charging stations within days or week of getting the funding. 

“But they can learn everything they need to in Sunday School!”

The underfunding and general destruction of education in America is just one of the many downfalls facing us in the near future.

As someone who is genuinely interested in this car but doesn’t live in Colorado...

I was going to come here to craft a thoughtful, fact-filled comment about how these policies will only give the rest of the world — and our enemies — a huge head start, how military readiness and capability will be diminished, and how it would be far better to listen to what the commanders on the field think our…

Not that I think this is worth the $500 they charge, but what it does is allow you to renew on the fly with their app, and the expiration date updates immediately, instead of having to wait a few weeks for the sticker.

Lady in my neighborhood FB group posted if people have been seeing all the drones over the neighborhood. She then posted a video from another neighbor that was a fucking airline on final into the nearest large international airport about 20 miles away. Not to mention we live right near a busy regional airport too. Some…

I had the exact same gripes when reading this. Looking at the specs, performance, and interior, which isn’t bad but very generic and basic, it will be a hard sell at over $60K or more. When you get to that price range, there are lots of great options, albeit none if you want a very large coupe that is also an EV.

My southern state is taxing me like I drive a 25 mile per gallon vehicle about 12,500 miles when I pay my road taxes on our EV. I can live with that.

Registration is a state issue and cost. Unless EV owners are paying for road maintenance through registration, how do they pay their fair share?

I’m confused....so the car compagnies that non-car people love are pretty much the same that car people love? Mercedes, Honda, Toyota, Jeep, Jaguar, Tesla, etc?
Like, many car people will love a Honda as a daily driver because they are reliable, economical and perform generally quite well. Same as non car people
Car…

EVs already pay a kind of gas tax in some state with an additional annual registration fee to make up for the loss of gas tax. 

Comment of the month.

That’s Cruise (which GM just announced they are shutting down), not Waymo. Both of those companies have remote operators and in Cruise’s case I believe they intervene every few miles. I’m surprised so many people upthread are unaware the self driving taxis out there have remote operators (and not in a 1:1 ratio!)

An Italian sounding/looking guy living in Hawaii arrested in Pennsylvania after double-tapping a guy in New York who lived in Minnesota.

Paying “less than original price for used, but also more than new price” just tells me there are some weapons-grade idiots out there, honestly.
