Hold on one second. If you had a green light to walk, that means the through traffic also had a green light. And the right turner also had a greenlight to turn right without stopping.

I'd argue it's pretty reasonable to expect more from people behind the wheel of 4,000lbs of steel, given that the likelihood of a driver dying due to a pedestrian collision is basically nil, while the reverse is not. 

I’d add ban the bs left turn arrow as well,

As to the left turn arrow, in many places without it, you won’t ever be able to make a left turn. The key is to have it change to a green light (or flashing yellow arrow in my state) so you have the option to turn left if traffic clears out, rather than only allowing left turns on a green arrow.  They have done this…

Eliminating the left arrow? So one car can turn per light cycle at a busy intersection? Ever been ninth in line in the left turning lane? That’s a recipe for road rage.

This is a thing I love about Lower Decks. Your typical hour-long has an A story, B story, C story, and maybe a runner bouncing along through the plot. I’m amazed that Lower Decks has managed to cram an A, B, and C story into every single half-hour episode. They are functionally (but not technically) writing a…

He was Trump’s pick, but he was voted in by the Commission, which was stacked with Republican picks at the time. Perhaps when Biden is able to fill the holdover seats on the commission, things will change.

Because the Biden administration cannot fire his ass. The Postal Service is separate from the government. DeJoy is answerable to the U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission, and independent government agency, and not the Biden administration.

so you’re a time traveler? 

Even if FSD beta worked as promised, Tesla has a history of not honoring option packages for subsequent owners. Anything Elon can shut off at his discretion has zero value to me.

A software package that does not work, with a good possibility that it will never work... IMO, CarMax is correct. it’s worthless, and angry owners should be taking it up with Tesla in court for charging so much money for a product that Tesla blatantly lied about in terms of it’s current and future capability.

Pretty sure every cell phone on earth also has hotspot capability.  Not sure of the value-add here.

Right and I made that point when the heated seat thing came up, like the cost for the heated seat is already BUILT into the cost of the car, since they likely did it to reduce the number of seat designs, or it had always been there just not connected. So the cost to the auto maker was already there, the physical…

This is exactly it. People are OK with paying for subscription services that are actually services.  I suspect most people think of On Star like they do a home security system, which has a monthly fee to pay for the overhead of having people on call 24/7 if something goes wrong, similarly, Sirius/XM radio are like…

Yeah stuff like that is BS, and is 100% what the automakers are going for.

I also read this as 82% of people surveyed are complete idiots

out of curiosity what do you do that requires range greater than 250 miles and how often do you do that? I swapped to an EV over 18 months ago and I have yet to have a single instance where I felt limited by the range.

Tom Layton here, the original Plaintiff. What you all must know is that the auto auctions prohibit buyers from bringing scan tools on to auction property. Therefore, you must believe what the auctions claim. Furthermore, of the 500 or so FedEx vans I personally purchased 99% of them were purchased on-line facilitated…

Not sure if you’ve been to an auto auction for dealers, but typically there isn’t time. Big ones like Denver, Riverside, Dallas, etc. might run 1000 cars through 8 lanes simultaneously in 2-3 hours. And the gates open 3 hours before the sale. So you have 3 hours to find what you want, check it out on a huge lot, and…
