a 2014 Tesla Model S crashed into the back of a firetruck

don’t let such facts distract you from the idiotic tesla hate headline.

A vehicle which also happens to have much worse wiper coverage... LOL

It’s not really that Tesla’s piece of the pie is shrinking, but rather the pie is growing. EVs as a whole are gaining market share against ICE, which is the real battle to fight. It was never Tesla’s goal to achieve 100% EV market share, but to create an environment where a rising tide lifts all boats.

Tesla first introduced its comprehensive suite of exterior cameras to support Autopilot semi-autonomous driving in 2016, per Electrek. A short while later, the Model 3 debuted with an inward-facing camera. Initially, nobody really understood what or why Tesla was filming in the cabin, but now we know!

1st gear: the article came out on Thursday and I guess the lawsuit was filed on Friday? Did that guy’s lawyer even do any fact checking on the article before suing?

performance of something “similar”? You can fault its interior, its build quality, and even the ridiculous CEO, but nothing comes close to how quick these cars are at anywhere near this kind of money besides maybe the demon107 or whatever it is.
Again, I’m not defending tesla or any of their terrible decisions, but…

“ in Q1 of this year, a closer look at individual models shows that the brand delivered just 10,695 of the Model S and Model X EVs. In other words, the models’ age may be showing.”

Toyota seems to finally be getting it?? It seems like they are still sticking it with Hybrids. Aim for 1.5m EV sales by 2026? Meanwhile Tesla sold 420k+ in Q1 2023 alone, 1.3m last year, and is on a rate for 1.7m in 2023 how is that getting it? For a company that sells 10.5m cars annually, 1.5m EVs like 15% EV.…

The Model X was introduced in 2015 and hasn’t been updated since.

I disagree with a mixture of alternatives being the solution (I think the real answer is going to be just higher density batteries until only niche industries still use actual fuels.) I do agree that “zero impact” is a frustrating buzz word.

Instead they should be pushing “minimized impact” an EV has a bigger impact…

The dealers would sue on the grounds that in most states it is illegal for the manufacturer to set pricing. They will argue that by tying orders to price is the manufacturer controlling sale price. Not sure who would win? 

In a world with endless supply of renewable energy, your first statement might be true. However, that’s not the case (in the foreseeable future at least). So efficiency is quite important.
You are also only talking about one type of battery (well, mentioning graphene once), and to be frank, that’s just being used by…

Please - shit 100 bucks isnt nearly enough 1000 might teach them to not do this shit again. Hell a 1000 dollar fine might just be the thing that causes that Challenger or RAM owner to miss their next payment ... and that would be too bad wouldnt it.

The absence of crashes does not indicate the presence of safe driving.

The BIGGEST hurdle whit hydrogen is purely a materials issue. Tanks that can withstands HIGH psi values are expensive to make. Likewise hydrogen molecules are TINY. They contaminate and weaken surfaces, fitting, seals, couplings, and pretty much everything stays in prolonged contact with. Tanks that are light enough…

Wait, just to confirm...this is the same company that makes the Kia EV6? You know, the one that has a touch bar for the radio and climate controls that has capacitive touch controls and physical knobs that change function based on a capacitive touch control button? Hmmm...okay, just making sure...

Hydrogen always seemed like a weird choice to power a car. By the time you compress the hydrogen, move it to “gas” stations, store it, transfer it to a high-pressure tank in a car, then convert back to electricity to power the cars motors, you might have just as well used a battery. I think the efficiency is like…

Historically, the Integra was a different model from the Civic, and featured its own interior designs, drivetrain options, suspension tuning, and most critically, different bodystyles. The two models shared a platform, sure, but that was about it, and it definitely doesn’t warrant the “always the same” argument people…

Four, none of those questions are relevant to the law being passed.
