Look I don't know about you but I would definitely pay more for a car that is constantly threatening it wants to kill me. And you know burn down my house as well.

I find cars that are too polite, obnoxious and disingenuous.

you know, if Tesla FSD were a single individual, it probably by now would have gotten enough points on its license to have it revoked hundreds of times over

California stopsigns are yields with plausible deniability.

There's a lot of Tesla-isms that are just codifying bad Californian habits.

Thats actually a common misperception. The "rolling stop" is also known as the Swainsboro Stop, for the first recorded instance occurrin' in 1913 at a stop sign in Swainsboro, GA.

Eh, pretty sure there's a sensor common to all these systems, it's not some sort of crazy failure, similar things happen to other modern luxury cars and it's pretty inevitable with all the electronic bits and bobs on them these days.

You know what I'm gonna blame the other drivers here. If a car in front of you stops you should be able to stop in time from hitting it otherwise you're driving too fast or too close to the other car.

But if i drive right up another car's rear end in a top hat, it makes the car go faster! Cause theyre afraid i will rear wnd them! But jokes on them, when they speed up i apply more accel, matching their speed! And on and on unril the first car approaches light speed. and then i surf in that drift!

I would totally agree. I hate teslas but "driving in heavy rain" could mean he was busting through foot deep puddles. I bet he hosed up or tore off a speed sensor going through deep water. Throw Trac and stability codes, shuts off crash detection and pisses off the inertia seat belts that tighten before a crash. Although weird no abs code. Maybe hosed up a sonar in the front bumper..

I doubt seatbelts could get hosed up by a little rain, more likely the owner simply forgot to install the firmware update for their seatbelt drivers

If crash detection is shut off the seat belts won't tighten before an accident. Normally, motors will strap you back into your seat before a crash. This will throw a code. The seat belts will still work as regular mechanical inertia seat belts.

(On the near side of the front passenger seat, it looks at first like the seat's "back" but zooming in it seems like the driver seat has the same thing? Or Elong wanted a differently styled front passenger seat.)

it's apparently part of the Saudi's process of, uhrm, rehabilitating their image by buying up as much media properties as possible so that the cultural osmosis would lead to them being represented better (China has tried this with the acquisition of movie studios and so on, and it's arguable if they have been successful), but yeah i'm not sure how buying companies like WWE help at all, unless they are going to have sudden newcomers named, idk, The Gold Sheik and The Platinum Sheik as the new champions of 2024/5

Do the math. No drinking, no dancing, that just leaves wrestling and posting on twitter. There are no other Things to do, except get fanned by giant gold palm leaves while slathering yourself with the finest chocolate.

I think you're getting tripped up by the middle front seat, which is mostly blocking the driver's seat and has a different design from the other two
