Every car: electric, hybrid, or ICE, should be legally required to always have at least one 100% mechanical lock and door mechanism.

Jesus only an hour?? So if someone keys your car or something but you don’t come back to your car in under an hour you have zero video??

What’s more, Pineda has since discovered that the footage captured by her car in Sentry Mode has reportedly been wiped from the car’s memory, meaning that no footage of her and Ortega attempting to open the car to rescue the child remains.

ND because the driving/ownership experience on these is not worth that much. I owned one of these that was set up as an SP1-spec car, and the only thing it ever did well was look cool in my garage. They are slow, they don’t handle great, they don’t sound good, and they have a litany of bad engineering decisions that…

We should be pulling the same shit that the Chinese did, let American companies partner with the Chinese just long enough to learn from their IP, then copy it.

How exactly is having motorcycles legal in the US a good idea??? In an accident they are probably the deadliest vehicle you can purchase under any rule. This is why most nations with a national health system shouldn’t allow you to purchase a motorcycle and ride it on public roads. As everyone else will end up paying…

I understand limiting Chinese market strategies that are designed to lose money until they have market control, but limiting ALL Chinese involvement is catastrophically stupid. Here are the facts - they have a more mature, advanced, and robust battery industry that just about anyone and frankly you can’t be on the…

Autoblog was a good blog about autos.

The biggest problem at Autoblog was that the commentariat was primarily comprised of aging tRumpy boomer morons, always eager to show what monumental pieces of shit they were. ANY article relating to crime would generate a bunch of predictable racism...”tHoSe PEopLE come here and blah blah blah...” or “tHAt’S whAt…

Autoblog was my go to site until its redesign. That killed it for me; I might go there, but maybe not, and it was down the list of choices.

Autoblog was my go to for years and years. Then they kept changing their comment section to the point that it was unusable and I found Jalopnik.

It doesn’t look exactly the same - the actual stainless steel finish looks like shit. The finish is inconsistent between panels, and they often develop a green or brown sort of scummy patina on them. There’s a Cybertruck in my city that I see every so often and the stainless steel finish in person looks godawful. It…

ProPublica has some of the best journalism humanity has ever seen, but it’s hard to visit the site because the stories absolutely enrage me.  I usually binge read stories and then don’t visit the site again until my blood pressure has recovered weeks later.

It’s expensive to be poor. That’s a feature of this country, not a bug. Bootstraps! 

I’ll never be a huge fan of his music (was way to into punk when Slippery When Wet was released), but he’s been a good dude for a long, long time. And as I’ve aged, and become a true (transplanted) New Jerseyan, I’ve come to appreciate his music at least.

Not really into his music but great human being regardless.

Cruz would also blame the unions and the socialists for the design of the battery and connectors. He would then muse about when his father lived in Batistas Cuba they had cool American cars, with tail fins and the regime and Mafia ran things well.

Cruz would short out the battery, set the car on fire, then blame his daughter for distracting him.

Good for her. Can any of us imagine Ted Cruz doing something like this? (assuming he even had the compassion for others or the skill to do it). 

I mean, she has real life experience.  It shouldn’t be surprising that she can jump start a car.
