    What about with under-inflated Firestone tires?

    Rivian Rollover

    You also just gave me a new nightmare. I've seen where FSD/AP fail in extreme conditions, pretty abruptly, and wouldn't want that on the side of a cliff when there's a mixed loose-over-hard boulder to climb to safety.

    Actually I wanted to explore it as a possible decision point. It's not out of the question, and the car can make decisions. As I said, my Jeeps did, but at some point, they'd probably stop trying? Go outside their parameters? Dunno. I slid down a hill once with the "decent cruise control"...

    And there are multiple gradients of X-Y. My Jeeps have had various levels of idiot prevention, which are tunable with the off road settings menu. It would make different "decisions" if I was in highway mode, or in light trail mode, or hard core mode. I could be increasingly stupid as it...

    So you don't think that Teslas make decisions? What would you call it?

    Instant Compact F150 (Structure matters!)

    We’ve spent more than two decades progressively disarming people. A different approach is required.

    Not at all. Reading comprehension is important. You asked whether improving something completely solves all problems. No, in the same way that we've improved cars and people still get injured and die. It's also not uniquely American.

    No, and who is "your guys??"

    Nah, let's see how long it takes for mass deletions by admins.

    We are constantly improving on gun safety, but have a media 5at tells you otherwise. It’s a lie.

    Do you really have evidence of this?

    In AZ, we don't need to leave our guns in the car, so the sticker may just as well warn that the driver may return armed at any moment. I agree that normalizing is important, and I also believe that crossing the stereotypical left/right boundaries helps normalize all rights and all types of people.

    Great point. I had a Pink Pistols sticker on my Gladiator from when I volunteered with them, and also this:

    That would reinforce too many typical stereotypes, but I'm thinking that a pro-gun sticker and a hunting brand could be good for confusion.

    My friend who has a gen 1 said the efficiency gets ludicrously terrible at 90 MPH. Mine sees mostly city, and the wife keeps putting random gas in it without accounting for it, so I don't know what we are actually getting.

    Two of the ugliest vehicles ever made, but the numbers were convincing. The Aztek was the first most ugly vehicle ever and also the numbers were shit. Didn't own one. You can never exclude emotion, but I use spreadsheets to try to. Is it emotion that part of the Gladiator's mission was to...

    They are dirt cheap, but do only get around 38-40 MPG. But the car itself is just super cheap to buy and to insure. I paid $13k for a totally perfect 2016 with full Mercedes dealer records for all maintenance. I could have gone down to around $9k for a not so perfect one. Tires are dirt...

    I have a CT reservation and I currently own and drive a Smart, as well as a Model 3. I love the smart, and have never felt unsafe in it. And I simply laugh at the "men" who tell me they could never drive something so silly because ego. It's a vastly under-rated car (by Americans). As Crissa...

    GMC Hummer EV Owner Charged Over $4,000 For Taillight Replacement (WTF?!)

    I've never noticed a car where it did. Our BMW's did not. How much is a Roadster tail light? Or even just a 3? I have no idea and a quick googling just shows aftermarket BS.
