I really hope Rivian takes advantage of the collapse of Fisker & Lucid to pick up some talent and production capacity.

I think we need to be really clear about what was happening at the time so that he can’t rewrite history; in the wake of Musk’s takeover of Twitter, he fired pretty much everyone who dealt with content controls, which meant the floodgates opened to hate speech and misinformation. Some of which came directly from Musk…

There are literally more than 6000 Dunkin’ drive-thru locations in the USA. What is cliche about a drive through coffee shop in Seattle except that it isn’t a Dunkin’s?

I’m guessing the price has less to do with the coffee and more to do with the service; if you look up this coffee shop’s insta it’s more of an alt-Hooters. So maybe it’s really about what he felt entitled to but didn’t get that set him off.

Jack Dorsey has got his own brainworms...

I saw a brief video (bodycam) where he said he’s made about $750,000 from his social media and I’m sure that was only going up exponentially. If all he had to do was pay 10% of that, there’d be no reason for him to stop. It seems like social media has found some giant loophole where the biggest assholes get the…

I have no idea what that means.

Yeah that’s the thing - we all jump to conclusions but have no facts. I’m sure we’ve all seen situations where entitled drivers think traffic rules don’t apply to them, and 9 times out of 10 it’s some wealthy/self-important person driving an expensive car. The other time it’s usually a Jeep GC. And I’m sure many of us…

Or even just “carry a gun,” or “carry ammunition,” get arrested.

It’s crazy that this kind of thing needs to be said but I guess that’s where we are with guns in this country.

I think the question of whether checkpoints work and whether our “tax dollars” are well spent are less important questions than whether the 100 mile rule is correctly decided and constitutional. Personally I think it’s absurd and even though these guys are jerks about it, they have a point.

“you don’t need to pay attention to curve speed recommendations”

It is quite normal for curve speed reduction signs to be yellow. They are not only for “the biggest, most ungainly vehicles,” they’re for everyone. This exit has multiple signs indicating speed reduction as well as bright yellow arrows showing the angle of the curve. From watching the video, it seems pretty clear that…

Now I’m more intrigued....

I count myself as in the target market for this. It’s a “serious” SUV without being too off-road “boy mudder” but also without the pretentiousness of the GX. It’s a ski resort and wine country tourer with less pretentiousness than the GX or competing vehicles from something like Land Rover. That said, I’m not sure if…

I’m not here to tell you who you are.

It looks great. It really just comes down to brand reputation for quality and reliability for me.

It’s like half this country has lost its damn mind. 

I had no idea that “other-driver death rate” was a thing that was actually tracked. I’m not surprised that trucks top the list, or that Challengers manage (between their various models) to come in top of list of passenger vehicles by a HUGE margin. Also not surprised that Grand Cherokee comes in top-5 of passenger…
