But there would be fewer clicks if they said that in the article....

however; the Rotterdam city council denied Oceanco’s petition and the boat was moved to a different shipyard with without its masts early in the morning.

They said there have been 18 warranty claims relating to this. That is 0.005% of the user base. They also mentioned that the 362,758 recall figure includes vehicles that don’t even have the update that caused this problem installed yet. As a beta user, by definition you agreed that you’re aware things are not…

Your point being?

they have these things called parking meters.

Huh?  Both the F16 and F22 have a 20mm M61 gun system.

The question is, should these trains be traveling at above-freeway speeds through neighborhoods across 178 street-crossings with almost no protection or surveillance around these intersections.

That is correct. The whole reason why the CT has the long flat panels is to avoid stamping and use folding; a method uncommon in the consumer car industry. In practice, it is a cost-saving measure, which is mostly eaten up by the material. The end result should be higher quality panels and a more rigist structure. But…

Teamsters should be focused on recruiting more drivers and making self-driving trucks unnecessary, as opposed to just arguing without proposing an alternative. You can make quite a bit driving a semi with comparatively small training involved (relative to other career paths), but it is a super crappy job that people…

“Teslas and EVs in general are notorious for costing owners 30 percent more in insurance premiums over ICE cars.”

Not only is the public whining ridiculous, so is the lack of critical analysis from the writers of these pieces.

All of those buyers are already seeing or about to see buyers…

Whats wrong with a simple electric car? Like give me an electric Civic. Seriously.

To be clear though, Dodge didn’t give refunds, they gave $15K vouchers that could be used on a future Viper purchase. Customers also didn’t sue to get them, FCA announced them with the price cut.

1st. Gear: Legacy manufacturers change rebates every month. Sometimes incentives go up and people who bought the week before get cranky.

Tesla seems to not care too much about customer relations. Given that they used to be purely supply constrained with no credible competition but are now looking at a changing market place, that might be something they’ll want to rethink.

What does he think those monthly payments are for?

Yeah, that cracked me up. Not because any sane person would take out a loan for an iPhone. But because lots of people do.

Counterpoint: Adaptive cruise is pretty damn useful in traffic. 

T.L.D.R version: Firefighters can easily deal with EVs

I’m a 35 year veteran firefighter, 13 years as a Battalion Chief, so I know what I’m talking about. EV fires are a concern, but not a huge problem. True, firefighters need to be informed about handling EV fires, but they are a kin to other types of situations we…

Bryan Leiker, executive director of the Metal Finishing Assn. of California said that the industry isn’t ready. “California is trying to force something to happen that’s not ready to happen we don’t want. The consequences are going to be disastrous because you can lose an entire industry,”
