we passed a Tesla the other day and either the guy had his hands super low down the wheel (like, on the bottom of it) or he was hands free except I didn't think you could actually use that here in the UK unless of course you can just unblock it anyway because rules are for the little people (non Tesla drivers)

My biggest complaint about my car is the one-tap on the indicator stalks that temporarily lights up the blinkers only blinks 3 times, which isn't really enough to responsibly change lanes. They have a setting in the menu to change the amount of times it blinks.... but it only allows for 1,2 or 3 blinks. So i can either fast and the furious all my lane changes... or they can just let me set that integer to whatever i loving want. i swear to christ that developers who do the software for cars are completely up their own rear end and never considers the end-user.

If you get rid of them, suddenly you'll probably need to buy a $100/month subscription and people buying escalades are dumb/price insensitive enough to be the perfect test its this, but every automaker is trying to maximize services revenue however they can it started with onstar but you can guess who they’re inspired by https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/10/06...like-tesla.html

At least BMW heating subscription deliver every item promised instead of a minimal part of the feature set on the paper.

Kenny Logins posted:this may not be true now but for the longest time this (once?) upscale option was considering the end-user i.e. the target market never signalled lane changes at all, and never saw a problem Only problem with that is that I am in yurop and specifically in Denmark blinkers are mandatory for all lane changes since like 2007... (i drive a BMW so the jokes just write themselves wrt. use of blinkers)

Eeyo posted:is that in addition to toggling the blinkers? never heard of this, i just toggle them for lane changes. yeah, you tap them up or down and they don't engage, but just blink 3 times. It's meant to be used as like a courtesy thing and in cases where you are not fully turning and thus turn the wheel far enough to disengage back, but still need to signal (i.e. high-way lane changing)...

if you go to paris you don’t really need to worry about being “that guy” because you will probably never be more than 50 feet from someone else being an extremely dumb and bad tourist and you will look better by comparison
