How long have we been at war with Mexico?

Whatever you do, don’t google “Gulf of Mexico” then use the three dots next to the search results to report them as inaccurate.

If the problem is mainly long commutes, why not just charge at home? You’ll never have to stop to refill/recharge. That’d be worth the cost of a fast charger installation, wouldn’t it?

There’s no reason for any manufacturer not to have entire fleets of small vehicles available now; from EV city runabouts to long-range hybrid petrol sippers to tiny but useful pickups/lorries. They’re basically the only thing the majority will be able to afford soon.

Can we get that Air Force One rush job out the door as well, please?

It’s like a dystopian 1984 Geico commercial. “I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance!*”

If it’s The Onion and this administration, you know it’s just a matter of time before it’s true.

1st gear: This problem has already been taken care of.

Shut up, Adrian.

LOL out loud. “It can’t be that bad,” I thought.

Thiel knows he’s just one stroke or 25th amendment away from the Presidency. He’s more than happy to let Musk and Trump lay the groundwork and take the heat for dismantling the government for two years and one day, when he can guarantee that Vance will be eligible to run for two full terms in addition to finishing out…

You park your Cybertruck in the driveway for all the world to see, anyway. No way you’re going to hide that thing inside a garage; like this house, it’s a statement piece. The statement is “I have money but no brains or taste.”

Cybertrucks in the near future:

there was a study that I read (probably on this site, many many years back) that showed new drivers were statistically the most likely to crash, not just young drivers

If we’re going to make “perfect world” arguments, might as well posit that people should just stop running red lights. If the people that run the cameras can theoretically be 100% honest and altruistic, then so can drivers.

This probably won’t be a popular opinion on this particular site, but NY should start following the lead of larger cities in Europe and move to more single lane, one-way streets and public transportation or close some streets to vehicle traffic altogether, especially the most densely populated ones where off-street…

This is exactly why I advocated for federal automobile registration in this thread; to avoid the stupid patchwork of state regulations that can be changed at the whim of whatever stupid people get a hold of a state legislature.

If you’ve been on the internet long enough, you’d expect Guiness bar towels or a hot cocoa sampler box.

the US should have European-style emissions and car maintenance standards at the federal level. Probably most things like registration, licensing, and insurance should be handled nationally. No more states infighting about things like California emissions standards or out-of-state plates/registrations.
