Well, given that the CT did the davis dam test, we can at least assume* its J2807 certified. If it is, then it has to meet a structural weight requirement that is at least the maximum rated tow load on the hitch.

I am wagging my finger at Elon Musk because he has presented his solution as an ethical option and his idiot fanboys repeat such claims until they’re backed into a corner (exhibit A, thank you).

But it’s been a common problem, so wondering if it might the cause in this accident isn’t a far reach.

You can change the level of regenerative braking on the Tesla, from what I recall. Not sure if you can completely turn it off on the Tesla (I drive a Kia EV6 and you can turn regenerative braking off).
Either way, I’m not seeing your point here. You don’t have to keep the foot on the gas pedal for a controlled slow…

One can despise Elon and also recognize that ICE cars do also explode.

Teslas are definitely not known to have bugs after updates where people can’t open their doors, even with the manual latch

Why was that? Were the doors wedged shut (as can happen to any car) or were they unable to open the doors because Tesla won’t install actual door handles?

Why would you assume that? I mean it could be, but it could also be the 70 year old just hit the accelerator and panicked like many old people do. If it was anything but a Tesla, that would be the likely assumption, right?

“In the review, Clarkson commented on the poor range of the car, which lasted just 55 miles on a race track, and claimed that it took an eye-watering 16 hours to top the battery up once again.”

Are we really arguing that tesla programming cars to operate more naturaly is a bad thing?

“If in fact it’s a failure in a self-driving or a driving system, that may not be a homicide by DUI even if the driver is intoxicated,” he said

First gear — Towing someone’s car like that seems like serious overreach. I mean, you can’t compel a human witness to testify even if they were right there at the scene, so taking someone’s car seems like a huge violation. I mean, sure — ask the owner for the footage, and get a warrant if needed, but people also have…

The second gen Model 3 just started shipping in the spring. Its’ not a “new model” and looks similar but there are a lot of changes vs the outgoing Model 3 under the hood.

Polish, wrap, PPF, tint, ceramic coat, etc. Common things for people to do delivery week of a new car

Let’s be clear here. The dude did not buy all of this simply by “collecting unemployment”. He worked in organized crime, which made him enough money to buy all of this shit. He just happened to also be collecting unemployment benefits at the same time.

I know people predicted (hoped?) this would be a sales flop, but is anyone surprised? Many rich people love ostentatious shit.

FWIW, according to Polk - Cybertruck registrations rose from 1,298 in April to 9,981 in July. 

Shitty headline is shitty, and you know it.

How about we deal with the underinsured knobs who think “cutting up” is fun first? The size of our firetrucks is hardly cracking the the top 1000 on my list of concerns with our roadways
