“I had traction control off, because I wanted to go sliding, but that dumps the suspension, so the suspension had no travel at all”

He did not think about anything when buying the company. It was a complete impulse.

“I jumped out of the 2023 Cadillac Escalade I was reviewing, dipped my credit card in the pump, and filled the tank — two-thirds depleted after about 350 miles of highway driving — with premium unleaded.”

It sounds like Tesla does have a backup system, but for whatever reason it wasn’t working.

It also could have been solved by bringing his spare key.

You’re an idiot if you believe that he used something like Elmer”s glue from a kids school project. The have many different kinds of adhesive you numb skull. 

What’s with all the Tesla hating? Car people are supposed to celebrate all and anything on wheels, not get all down on innovation. 

I’m genuinely really interested to see how this goes and how the trucks perform in the real world. 

There is a ton of daylight between “Telling them to check her reservation” and “Employee called cops” if you care to comprehend it.

Oh no legacy automakers sell an electric vehicle with wheels that fall off after a couple of miles but god forbid Tesla which started making vehicles basically last year, have panel gaps. 

AEB systems are limited by sensor range and computing power, and then must be tuned to have a very low rate of false positives. The system needs to detect the potential crash partner, determine the likelihood of impact from their relative trajectories, determine whether that likelihood meets the threshold for…

But if you’re a smart driver

Article summary: The system is not perfect, so lets just scrap it all.

That’s because they’re only federally tested in daylight up to 50mph

This is exactly Hyperloop - trains inside elevated, mostly evacuated tubes using linear induction motors/magnetic levitation.

Which shouldn’t be confused with Loop, which is the tunnel system running Teslas in Vegas created by Musk’s other other company, The Boring Company. Loop and Hyperloop share nothing but part…

Knowing Toyota, it’ll be equipped with a 5", 16-color, 640x480 resolution screen, with touch sensitivity so bad you’ll think you’re going to break the damn thing before it registers a touch.

I also work in the power industry here in San Diego. The grid is fine, we will need more transmission to be built for more renewables and batteries, but California’s electric sector planning, particularly the resource adequacy program has lagged behind the renewable build out since 2015 that many gas resources were…
