Holy shit.
This is the most "Karen" thing I've read in months!
In the LA Basin area and south, we don’t turn in anyone unless they’re being seriously stupid. Especially on the 15 fwy between San Bernardino and Vegas.

If Karens didn't drive in the left lane, there wouldn't be a problem.
All traffic is the result of idiots driving in the left lane.
It's a PASSING lane in Texas, and you can be ticketed for driving in it.

Radar detectors and scramblers are legal in Florida
Thinking about it, radar scramblers can't be legal anywhere in the US, because an electronic device that interrupts the function of another electronic device through radio emission isn't legal under the FCC.

Blame the game, not the player.
I don't have any on my car, but have front/rear on my Ducati.

Well, they're wrong about what states they're illegal in, so... That's a strike, Mr Donut. They just can't be on a window. Which is true for almost everything.

PS, light is electromagnetic waves, so interfering with devices with flashing lights would also be illegal. There's just less case law on the subject.

I've never seen one to be shown to actually work, either.

Oh, they work. I live in NE NC and commute to VA weekly. Google traffic enforcement in VA for perspective. BTW, LEOs (at least in VA) have radar detector detectors. I know of one model that can't be detected by LE and I validated it by some local LE buddies. They didn't believe me at first. LEO: "Okay, turn it on". ME: "It's on right now". LEO: "No effin' way, WTH model is that"!!!

What model is it?
They are legal in TX, but just curious.

The one on my Ducati saved me several times, even though I rarely go over 80 mph.

Most of the high end cars that I see, have installed.

I have a feeling, however, once I get the cybertruck I will stand out like a sore thumb and attract a LOT of LE attention and dont want to give them any reason to pull me over. So, I might just rely on autopilot a lot on the highway and chillax and get there when I get there.... now that I think about it.

I converted to this some time ago, and it’s such a better way to vibe
I dont have a tesla, so I can only imagine by watching youtube vids and talking to current owners. Austin traffic stress me out, I fucking HATE all the rude drivers that have migrated here that ride slow in the left lane and dont use blinkers but speed up to cut me off when I use mine. I can imagine autopilot will lower my BP a bit in traffic. I also hope the Cybertruck gets a bad ass sound system. I really hope that isn't overlooked. The new Highland Model 3 audio looks wild.
