That may be the case. My Front Passenger Funfetti Airbag of Death Replacement may be considered a good deed instead of correcting a potentially fatal and disfiguring flaw.

Can you imagine the out cry if another automaker did this but since it’s Tesla people will defend Musk and his business practices. Can’t wait to see him negotiate with the Unions.

First Gear:

Well, the "good deed" is fixing something that shouldn't have been broken. Are all recalls/warranty fixes "good deeds" now?

“The basic point is to ensure that Tesla doesn’t do a good deed, only to have that used against us in court for further gain,” the company said.

“The basic point is to ensure that Tesla doesn’t do a good deed, only to have that used against us in court for further gain,” the company said.

These are your cars on Capitalism.

Good article. I just had a conversation about this with buddy the other day. I went to school for car design(and work in a related IDS job now), and even though we all bitch about the good ol days being gone...pedestrian safety and thick A pillars yada yada...the reality is that due to amazing manufacturing…

Thanks to universal health care in Canada, however, the goose is fine. The Eagle, on the other hand, is a low-wage-earning diabetic that can’t get time off from work when her kids are sick. So, you know, call it a tie.

I should probably get a secured credit card one of these days to get the ball rolling

He didn’t say his father-in-law took that advice, only that he was discussing a car purchase with somebody and that somebody recommended to him to take out a home equity loan. His father-in-law could have laughed in that person’s face for all we know.

Somewhat related: I had a client that had an aunt that did that for an OEM. I think it was GM. Client had either ads or press materials framed showing her aunt testing out different interior parts. The gist of all of them were “we take women into consideration when we build our cars”.

And columnists whine and kvetch about the popularity of crossovers. You know WHY people like them? Because of this. All these crash standards mean the beltline and cowl of modern vehicles is really high, so smaller people can’t see out of the things. But you get into a crossover and they’ve also raised the seating…

My uncle is 6' 10", and his wife is 4' 11". It's very difficult for them to car shop.

The high beltlines have more to do with pedestrian crash standards requiring a certain amount of cushion between the hood and top of the motor. Add the fact that modern DOHC motors are taller than motors of yore, and you now have to raise the hood that much higher. A car would look awkward if it had a high hood line…

They both have a “C” and “cada”, close enough!

Greetings, fellow vertically challenged motoring media type person.

I’m 5' 5" and whilst I generally have no problem with driving most things, nearly everything being sold is definitely focused on being for a larger person. The bigger the car, the bigger the problem. I tried a Merc ML some time ago, I’m sure some…
