Tesla has done this for years at busy super chargers. When you connect your car, it gives you a message and sets the charge limit to 80%. If you have a route set in the nav that requires more than that, you get no message and it charges to whatever you need. If you just want to charge more than 80%, you can change the…

Nope. The units are irrelevant. The concept of differing dimensioned materials and accounting for the width of saw blades etc. should be universal to people who do lots of construction.

If you don’t understand what he said it is not for you.

At first, I was a little miffed that he seemed to care more about the cat than the humans in the car but then I thought about the type of people that would do such a stupid thing and now don’t have any issue. The cat was the only intelligent thing in that car.

“Failing to develop and/or implement a work practice plan to minimize hazardous air pollutants emissions from the storage and mixing of materials used in vehicle coating operations.”

I think (hope) dealers are burning themselves with these tactics coming out of the pandemic. Buying a car now is a significantly worse experience than any time in the past. So much so that people will not soon forget and will likely hold politicians accountable that support dealers/lobbyist. That combined with the new…

With Torch gone, Jalopnik needs someone new to write crap articles about Tesla. Looks like it’s going to be Erin’s job.

Just to clarify, the gov mandated sound always plays.  You just have the option to play other sounds on top of it so there was no risk of uploading a silent MP3 to avoid making any noise.

I didn’t say anything about the cause for the protest. People think it’s fine to block traffic when it’s for a reason they agree with but get outraged when it’s for something they don’t like it.

And, if this was Antifa/BLM doing it, liberals would argue their cause is just and people should be inconvenienced. Paybacks a bitch isn’t it.

Why don’t they beg for the mandate to be lifted?

Yes. You can dial in an offset to be applied. If you normally drive 5 over, it will instead drive 60 when it sees a 55 mph sign.  This is off by default.

A little more detail about the rolling stop:

Can’t handle the argument so jump to the insult.  Got it.

Try your hardest to follow me here - in designing an autonomous car that has to share the road with a vast majority of human drivers, the best approach is to have it drive like humans do. Let’s pick a different example. Do you like being stuck behind someone driving exactly the speed limit on a busy freeway because…

Right. Your single experience should be the baseline for the world. Narcissist much?

Yeah, that’s the real story here.  OTA != recall.

Because that is how people drive.  Coming to a complete stop when the person behind you is not expecting you to can also cause an accident or road rage.  This feature was off by default and only happened in specific situations where no cars were around.  I had it enabled on my car and it never did a rolling stop once.

The best car I ever drove in the snow was a BMW i3 with Bizzaks.  Even being RWD, those skinny tires got through the snow to the pavement and the Blizzaks provide excellent grip.

Agreed - EXCEPT - have you priced modern headlights these days? Granted, with new LED technology they should last but they can be > $1k. Back in the old halogen bulb days, they were cheap and easily replaced.

On a side note, anything less than always on will still have cases where it fails. My car has auto lights but…
