They ranked it higher solely because they felt it keeps track of the driver better but it’s ranked worse in both performance and far worse in ease of use. In the real world you can only use Super Cruise on specific supported highways and in places like New York the law forbids Super Cruise from being used entirely. GM…

And you think taxi drivers got health insurance and a retirement package? They weren’t even independent contractors, most of the time you have to rent the licensed taxi vehicles from someone who owns a license/medallion and then you just make whatever you make. 

Most other countries use 220/240 and people don’t just constantly drop dead there from electrocution. 

A lot of these level 2 chargers will plug into a NEMA 14-50 outlet that’s also used for other appliances at home so it may not be as complicated as everyone is imagining if these homeowners already have everything else needed in place. If you have a relatively new electrical panel with power to spare it’s really just…

It’s probably safer than similarly tiny gasoline cars just because they must have added a lot of structural components to shield and prevent battery fires from breaking out whenever someone crashes one of these.

It would sell terribly just because the average American is both taller and a lot wider than the average Chinese person buying this thing. Those seats are pretty narrow even without the center console so this just wouldn’t work. You’d need to make an XL variant of this for the US and you’d end up making a jankier…

The issue is that while it has enough power to keep a fridge running these don’t usually have enough starting amperage to allow the fridge to start the compressor.

The person doing this also bypassed the seatbelt detection, probably with a dummy seatbelt plug. I don’t see how this is on Tesla at all, you can do the same stupid shit in your Honda Civic with Honda Sensing or your Toyota Corolla if you’re willing to go bypass the sensors making sure that there’s a driver in the…

Tesla literally fired everyone in their PR department. It’s just Elon tweeting random stuff now.

Yeah the coupon only reduces it to $28 now instead of $18. These go on sale pretty frequently with different accessories though.

Tesla software can be buggy but if you look at the overall level of sophistication their software team is clearly poached from top silicon valley firms. Everyone thinks it’s easy to design a good software interface but in reality it requires very talented folks working on it. Some of the existing car companies do seem…

Money isn’t really a fixed quantity in the economy so all that would really happen is that mechanics and folks who make and sell car parts would generate more income/profit which would mean more people would be able to get jobs or higher paying jobs as mechanics or parts makers, etc. You couldn’t just spring it on…

The camera is on every production model 3 ever made so you’re wrong on that point. The only thing is that they only recently enabled it via software and only for crash recording. I would know since I’ve owned one for two years now and there’s a very obvious camera in the car and the software option to turn the…

Europeans hate manual transmissions in high end cars-they’re seen as economy transmissions. Even their 911s are almost all PDK and Porsche only brought back the manual GT3 because of US customers whining.

The problem with the bolt isn’t that it’s an EV. It’s that it has a small hatchback form factor which is based on a car GM canceled outright.

Yeah for actual daily driving if you only commute 50 miles or so you don’t ever need to keep it charged fully. So the battery can sit close to the happy 50% mark where they barely age if you can charge it at home.

FYI New Jersey ran out of money for that EV incentive so they’re almost certainly not getting $5000 in the mail. But it is still a good deal since they don’t pay taxes.

This is idiotic, there’s literally nothing out there when you’re out on these rural roads. What are you afraid of exactly? 

She’s swerving around some cones in New Jersey...there’s probably more danger driving on the turnpike with idiots blasting past you at 110.

Honestly, even in the US in the vast majority of the country people don’t really attach a lot of value to this nameplate. I’ve only ever seen folks from Michigan flip out and get all excited about high Commanders and Grand Wagoneers while everyone nearby has no clue what they’re talking about.
