"Musk’s business troubles go well beyond the #TeslaTakedown protests... The myriad #safety issues plaguing #Tesla point to much broader issues with the company’s #business model. Its competitors might just be better at making #cars. The #Trump administration’s own policies aren’t helping, either."

Elon Musk Is the One Who Set Tesla on Fire

Protesters are the least of this company’s problems.

New #Tesla Model Y updates are slated to start delivery in March. You can easily spot these new units because they will have an always-on light bar across the front, just like the Cybertruck. At night, you can also spot them by the red light bar across the back (it’ll be harder).

You may have reservations about hating on people who own Teslas, because they might have bought them not knowing that a Nazi owns the factory. But buyers of these new models have no excuse—they are FULLY AWARE of who Elon is, yet decide to put money in his pocket anyway.

If you spot one with the light bar, I encourage you to give their drivers dirty looks, vomiting mimery, disapproving gestures, or whatever you think they deserve. You can be assured these are people who don’t give a shit about funding a Nazi.

In case you didn’t know this, #Tesla is aggresively suing bloggers and news outlets that criticize them—and even their own customers—in #China. They use their cozy relationship with the Communist Party to bully and punish critics into silence.

“In a review of public court documents, the AP found that Tesla won nearly 90% of civil cases over safety, quality or contract disputes brought by customers.”

Please, get rid of your Teslas.

"The earnings report comes on the heels of a disappointing production & delivery report, in which the company revealed that its sales had fallen year over year... Tesla’s lineup is increasingly looking a little stale, especially in the company’s most important market of #China, where domestic automakers continue to churn out new, cheap technologically impressive EVs."

Monday 21 January 1963

Britain’s Biggest Ever Heli-Lift Rescue - 283 Flown From Fylingdales White Hell. Four RAF Whirlwinds flew again and again through an 80 mph gale, which at times whipped up a 50 foot curtain of snow, to rescue the men and women from the missile-spotting base on the Yorkshire moors.

Nice!

"Bus speeds also increased after the tolls were turned on. The Manhattan-bound B39 bus, which crosses the Williamsburg Bridge, ran 28% faster compared to a similar January week last year. Other buses like the SIM24 and the M50 saw increases in speeds, as well."

#Question

Roll bars have been used in race cars since the 1950s saving 99% of the lives that would have otherwise been lost in accidents involving astronomical speeds and ferocity.

Why weren't they used in passenger vehicles, instead there are half belts, slow inflating bags, and gadgetry of relative inferiority?

Cost of mass-production?
Convenience?
Aesthetics?

Connecticut allows towing companies to sell some people’s cars after just 15 days — one of the shortest windows in the country.

The sales have particularly affected low-income people, who have lost jobs after they were unable to get their cars back.

How the media reports fatal car accidents

MY KID KICKING HIS YOUNGER BROTHER AS REPORTED IN THE MEDIA: A shoe somehow lost control & ended up hitting the stomach of a walker. We're told it was dark in the hallway where the accident happened and that the walker had black pj's on. Speed was not a factor. More to come. ROVELO CREATIVE

My sister, brother, dad & I have a text thread where all we do is send in cool cars. My sister sent in the fastback, i sent in the GMC Sierra.

One thing we know for sure: building and widening highways always succeeds in helping sell more cars, gas and suburban sprawl; burning more public budgets; and increasing GHG emissions. So if those are your goals, it’s the perfect thing to do.

Just don’t expect it to reduce traffic.

“The city is poised to require owners of vehicles weighing over 6000 pounds to pay an annual $500 vehicle registration fee, almost 7X the cost to register a modest sedan. No other US jurisdiction has created such a forceful financial disincentive against the biggest, heaviest car models.” Via @davidzipper
