VW ID4 isn’t a better option??? Hell, what about a Kia Niro EV or Kona EV? No, the Mazda not the right answer here. Don’t be an enabler.

I love the idea of an electric crate engine program, but the motor was never the tricky bit

Because it’s irrational to blame the company whose name is on the product? GMAFB. I also have a 2020 Bolt that is now sitting outside as a tropical storm approaches and I’m sure as hell blaming the company that slapped their logo on it. I didn’t buy anything from LG, I didn’t choose them to supply the battery, and I…

I guarantee their ENGINEERS fought it tooth and nail.

Kinja has been broken since before it was Kinja. I don’t remember the comment system on these sites ever working correctly, since I first started reading more than 10 years ago.

Says 11 comments but not all of them load, and I don’t see anything from you even when I do “show pending”.

No — any force on the wheel at all or application of the brakes deactivates autopilot.

Fun fact... autopilot disables itself with no warning when it can’t handle a situation. Which I think is the reason why Tesla flouts having so few accidents while on autopilot — it’s technically off when the crash happens.

Seems like a tempting place to use it so you can look around at Yosemite instead of driving.

JESUS, take the freakin’ wheel already!

Yeah, that’s the problem with regulation. Too broad of a brush.

In theory, crypto could be a tool to bring banking to the un-banked.

Second Gear:

When somebody can buy an entire city council, or senator, or entire industry lobby with thier pocket change, it tends to suck for the rest of us. Bezos' ex in in the process of divesting herself at a rapid pace.

This is a nice longform article in the vein of Jason’s Schreier’s reporting of behind-the-scenes game development. Glad to see this article type again. Great job!

It’s not that you don’t know how to use the notifications/comments, but Kinja has been fucked up for weeks now with no fix in sight. It happens for all of us. Sometimes if somebody who replies to me is still in the grey, the comment is lost forever.

Yeah, I don’t think taking such a hit in the driver’s door has a great outcome. Even the impact is to the front wheels and engine compartment and the victim gets away with “just” soft tissue injures, the consequences of being whipped around like that could be painful and enduring.

It WAS being siphoned. That's why they got raided.

Stealing electricity.
