I think you’re exactly right

The market is already doing that for you - year over year sales for Dodge down 29% in 2024.

If the early fan reaction to the electric Scatpack are any indication, people won’t be lining up to buy it, so expect more of the same.

Get ready to hear that Coca Cola jingle every time you feel thirsty.

If you haven’t tried a second Kia dealership yet, I’d recommend that, too!

Give them your VIN over the phone, ask to schedule the repair under warranty. Might be able to save yourself the headache of going through corporate if the next dealership is less shady than the first.

That’s my assumption, that it’s some legal dodge. Like “we didn’t wire that light, so if you get in trouble for it, technically, you modded your Cybertruck, because we installed an inert lump of plastic and not an off-roading light. YOU installed an off-roading light.” That sort of deal.

The strange thing, all the other manufacturers do ship pre-wired offroad lights. There’s just something about the Cybertruck one that isn’t up to regulatory standard, I’m thinking.

I feel like my Toyota, the towing limit on the spec sheet doesn’t mean “after this number, the hitch snaps off.” For legal reasons, I need to state that that is only a guess, and that I have not tested it on anything but private roads.

For gods sake, the limit should have at least a 25% buffer. 1% buffer is madness. Toyotas, we don’t even know what the buffer is, it’s large enough that I’ve never met anyone who got nerve-wrackingly close to it. I’ve certainly never met a Toyota driver who’s frame or hitch has snapped off. I’ve now seen like 5 Cybertrucks with the whole towing assembly just tumbled across asphalt.

Please tell him he is perfect! He can sponge up all of my attentions

Blew the whole budget on the Tesla, didn’t have any money left over for sand XD

You’re also starting fights over on another thread of mine so… I guess this scratches some itch for you!

Boss, you do you. Call me if you need a tow.

That’s part of the story (though, why did Tesla ship a luxury truck with such trash tires?). Weight is a actually good thing in light snow. If you have low traction, you can actually add weight to the truck bed to get better traction. Folks in my neck the woods put sandbags and stuff in their beds to do exactly that.

Keep your eyes on what the tires are doing in the video. See how they’re rolling at all the wrong times, and then locking up at all the wrong times? That’s an electronic system failing, that’s probably the Automatic Traction Control, and evidently it doesn’t know what the fuck to do with snow.

We strive for accuracy here at FuelArc News XD If the story is simple enough, we sometimes even achieve it!

Gentrified forest is the most cursed phrase I heard in a minute.

Just announcing a follow-up self-driving system on their first really pretty bad system has them on an escape trajectory with their stock price.

I’m starting to think Tesla set all the wrong examples for the auto industry.

Can’t deny any of that.

Have I mentioned, I’m broadly surprised by how reasonable the conversations are here versus Reddit? Thanks for that, I think I misunderstood your initial comment

They show a still photo in the video, where the engineer comments on that. He highlights the wrinkles in the wall image, imperfections and shadows that a human can see. The way he told it, it was hard to miss to a human

Haha, well, that shows my reading comprehension level!

I know him!!! He featured heavily in that one Walter Isaacson biography, The Codebreaker. About Dr. Doudna of course.

Did he get his PHD? Well, good on him. I see China has a better anti-recidivism program than the USA has. Last I heard, he was doing hard time in Chinese prison for mad scientist stuff.

(Edit: Ope, I think I misunderstood you, my bad. Disregard my reply.)

What a world we’re living in!

Observing a technical deficiency in a robotics platform requires political considerations. Even when a car drives into a fucking wall at 40MPH on camera, people are asking about the camera man’s political party affiliation and not what’s wrong with the car.

Wild!
