Back in my 20s, I never got over 8k miles out of a set of tires. For some reason, the tires always had a sort of gooey layer of rubber on the tread that looked like it was melted. Must have been something wrong with the car and tires I had back then.

That’s true, but you could say the same about any large luxury barge made in the past 10-20 years and those don’t share this issue. Most likely the owner was driving aggressively and wore them down quickly. In terms of weight and power that car is basically a hellcat, so it’s no surprise he was able to wear the tires…

or knocked the suspension out of alignment.

I just checked the wear bars on my Model 3 yesterday. I am about due... after 51000 miles.

Jesus, this sounds like those sovereign citizen kooks. “That flag has gold fringe on it, which designates this as an admiralty court and so it has no jurisdiction.”

I half-expect Tesla/Musk to start using SovCit pseudolegalese arguments for why they should not be bound by any law or regulation.

SCOTUS has shown themselves to be very willing to believe arguments that various good and decent government functions are somehow forbidden by the constitution.

Oh, agreed -- just the case is being argued in a week and a half!

I mean, billionaires and their sycophants have been trying to kill the NLRB every year since it was created...

“I felt like I knew more than they did,” Richards said.

Do you know if this is tied to a specific high market brand?

or be based around a hated of another country because they hurt our feelings.

I wonder if having an ultra-conservative government might be a contributing factor..?

The intention might be to keep her in one place until the authorities can come up with something more long-term.

Routine traffic stop might result in you being shot (depending on your skin tone) but it took the authorities here in Pierce County months to finally arrest this woman. She made no secret that she was not going to comply. I’m very happy they finally took care of it but good gawd did they take their sweet ass time.

She should have to pay the cost of her incarceration and all the legal fees up to this point.

She should be in jail for a shitload longer than 45 days.

It is insane to me that the majority of visitors now use that ugly ass new Reddit.

god I read the headline and was afraid they were getting rid of old.reddit. Regular reddit is so fucking bad, like I literally don’t understand why it exists. But I guess it follow the standard internet pattern of taking something that is simple, elegant, and useful and changing it to something ugly and hard to use.
