Yeah, this is weird. There’s a perfectly good legal path to take if you truly feel you’ve been wronged by a company. 

They made a video where they put cones on each side so the car couldn’t change course, and had the driver press down on the accelerator, causing a warning that AEB won’t work. Then they made the video too low resolution to read screen, but it’s easy to determine that the message is there.

California hasn’t really had an issue handling electrical loads in quite a while.
Peak demand as the sun sets they have occasional issue but its really pretty minor. 

Shutdowns due to fire risk is however a major problem.

Net population was a loss of 117k in 2021.

In 2021, 360k “moved out” but 80k moved in (280k net loss in state-to-state migration); and an additionally 43k moved in internationally. Then you also have births vs. deaths (exacerbated by COVID). And again, this is after 10 years with a 5.8% net increase in population.

Peo…

They can always delay implementation if the tech doesn’t get there in time. Nothing wrong with setting the goal post and seeing if we can meet it because, if we are being honest, we won’t meet it without someone setting the goal post.

Lithium batteries have been around longer than Bluetooth has been around. Or touch screens, at least in mass market items.

Did you even read that link?

The writing has been on the wall for this change for a decade. Auto manufacturers purposefully drug their feet on the transition, spending tens of millions on kickbacks and political corruption, to try to delay it so they could juice some extra short term profit. They aren’t going to transition without a mandate, and…

Clickbait headline.

True, but the only people more obsessed with Tesla than its fan are Jalopnik readers who do not like Tesla. 

Is there anything in those “franchise laws” that says GM has to give any allocations of desirable cars to these scum bags? Seems like it’d be awfully easy to just say “no Corvettes for you” to anyone caught pulling this bullshit.

On the day the guy filmed, Balbo was closed off. Since the intersection is a T shape, and the light turned red, those northbound cars just said fuck it and went through the red since there was no car traffic turning onto LSD. That is why so many blew through. If traffic was actually coming onto LSD they would have to…

They could go to Irwindale speedway and use the drag strip or drift box.

Oh gawd...”Unsafe at Any Speed” is back.

To be fair, America just isn’t that capable of large-scale efforts like high-speed rail. Maybe several decades ago, but I don’t see it being the case now. 

Yes, an appliance that can do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and is AWD since its likely an LR. The Performance does 0-60 in 3.1.

That’s normally how this goes.  The situation is beyond tragic, but when they hired an attorney the attorney is going to try and go after the deepest pockets 100% of the time.

...as a slideshow (facepalm) 

My daily driver may be a BMW, but I’m a steadfast user of turn signals.

Seriously? You didn’t know that many cars have this lane change tap function? Shame! As for the self-cancelling signals on a motorcycle, my 1986 Honda VFR had that yet none of my newer bikes (2001,2007, 2012 Hondas, Ducatis and BMWs) did.
