Do you drive a Tesla? If so, go fuck yourself.

Wtf is comma compatibility?

It's a Hyundai. Count your blessings you didn't get one.

In the UK they use the Oxford comma. Not so much in North America. Hard to get backwards compatibility.

Is that legal? I thought autopilot stuff still isn't fully regulated in most jurisdictions.

Autopilot, Supercruise, comma, etc. are L2, so legal as long as there’s driver monitoring of some sort (and comma’s is the least half-assed. Remember the chain on the Tesla steering wheel? Yeah, that counted. Comma at least has head and eye tracking. Observant’s is better, but it’s standalone, not part of a self-driving system). Full Self-Driving (the Tesla product, not the concept) is attempting to be L3, and marketed as L5, which, along with its general shittiness at even being L2, is what’s drawing regulatory ire, though even that, for now, is still legal.

I get the modern automatic gear shifting does not need a stick anymore, but fuck it is hard to move to buttons. I had the same problem without the key. I tried to drive my friend's push button car that has no stick for park, drive, reverse and whatever, and my body actually contorted because my muscle memory would not work with the part of my brain that said use buttons. I still cannot leave my keys in my pocket when I get in the car so I have to look for them in what used to be the fucking ashtray because that is where my hands decide they put them now that there is no keyhole.

We just need to get to the car driving itself, and no we cannot let Tesla design that shit. At this point we should just throw them out of that market for being too evil. Maybe they can repurpose their evil for something america truly needs like Tesla Health insurance or maybe Tesla Cable.

That is a good and real point. A lot of the maintenance for the ICE system is due to seals, fluids, and lubrication issues for the purpose of heat and friction reduction that electric would not have. even the use of the reduction gear should be completely automatic which would require much less lubrication over time because of the better shift you could get from automated synchronization. It just seems like a lot of wear on cars tends to be PEBCAC if you get me.

When you mention regenerative braking does that mean that some of the resistance of braking is actually magnetic resistance rather than physical friction like our regular brake systems?

Yep, regenerative braking turns the motors into generators, and they convert the vehicles kinetic energy into electrical energy fed back into the battery.

That is cool, or I should say Stupid woke ass car should be burning coal so everyone can see how manly and powerful I am even though the electric car is far more efficient and capable of more powerful than some weak ass coal or ICE engine but science and facts are for bleeding heart losers. If I could afford a horse I would still be riding that because power and feelings mean everything.

I am really just waiting for them to fix that distance thing and get more convenient charging stations. If they can get it to 2 hours of operation on a 15 minute charge with charging stations at every gas station they have now. I am going for one next time. I can fuck around at a gas station for 15 minutes for every two hours of driving.

So now this is apparently a bumper sticker:

Chinese Tesla Workers Who Elon Musk Praised Apparently Deserve Less Money This Year

Get a hydrogen RV and then you won't have to worry about rent. Apparently, a lot of folks in NYC have RVs because it's cheaper to rent a parking space and live in one than it is to get an apartment.

I always hear about "the fabric of civilization," but no one ever tells me what its woven of.
Greenbacks?
Thoughts and prayers?
Homophobic "ick" reactions?
Screen doors painted in Flex Seal?

I really would be super pissed had I saved up enough money to buy an obvious virtue signaling name brand car like a Tesla and then to have the brand completely fucked up, and the virtue signal flipped to fascist dickhead.

The one thing I do wonder is do cops pull over the tesla because it is driven by a rich smug tree hugger, or do they let them go because they are the company of an obvious racist south african white supremacist?

Code. It’s the Matrix. It’s the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Hugo Weaving agrees!

I remember when pepsico outsourced the headquarters IT staff to IBM and laid off employees that had been there for decades without allowing them to transfer to keep employment, and when the people were crying and just dropping work during the christmas season they offered to hire me out of my contract with an adjacent department to help with the transfer. I was like you want me to work for you directly after seeing all that, and you want me to take a pay cut from my contract for a job that is obviously going away? I was thinking I couldn't buy pepsi products without guilt anymore, and was feeling bad about doing my job while people were being destroyed for a bad move to IBM shitty tech support.

So I said no and got another contract working for IBM business tech support. I don't know where the pepsi desk was out of, but I did get to work with the people who make napalm, starwood, astrazenica, and the ones who ran the northeastern power grid. Yeah, lots of security out there in your hotels, chemical warfare, pharmaceuticals, and power grids.
