I'm just going from memory (didn't Goggleit)... But as I remember Tesla's early days, 2012 - 2018 (I followed it pretty closely) the Model 3 was introduced by Musk in grand fanfare (without the interior - LOL) for $35K and 400,000 reservations came in within two (2) weeks or so. The Model S was...
2016 - 2018 was right before Tesla released the Model 3. Seems like she got out at the wrong time...
All I've seen of Lucid is steep price cuts for the last year or so.
Good Lord...I'll rewrite it...
But it has an EV battery, 1-speed transmission drive unit/differential, electric motor, and charging system. That's just as difficult to manufacture/assemble a vehicle that as an engine, transmission and exhaust system.
Yes, all cars are final-assembled at an...
I don't need one. I never look at it when it is on the screen in my Bronco. In fact, the Bronco has 7 recalls all related to the function of the backup camera. The original recall was related to a software problem where the rear camera view on the screen does not turn off once you shift out...
I'm a Boomer. I learned to drive without a backup camera and big screen TV on the dash. My Bronco has an 8" display in the center of the dash, but being a Boomer, I learned how to backup using the three traditional rear-view mirrors. To this day I still use the mirrors to backup and NEVER look...
The Badlands 2-door Bronco can be ordered with the SMC (Sheet Molded Compound) painted hard top. The Base Bronco 2-door does not have the option to order the painted SMC hardtop.
The vehicle is not operating under an unsafe condition; the driver is illegally operating the vehicle under an unsafe condition because he is inebriated, or so the tech thinks.
My argument absolutely does not say that ADAS (Advance Driver Assistance Systems) are unconstitutional. Impaired driving due to substance abuse/use is a legal matter that only law enforcement agencies (i.e. the Government) is allowed under the constitution to enforce.
ADAS are enhancements of...
Eh, I own a 2022 Ford Bronco. Look at the NHSTA site and the MY 2022 has the highest count of recalls at 20 among the production years 2021 to 2026. Seven (7) of the recalls are about the stupid rear camera, which basically doesn't turn off after you shift from reverse gear only in off-road...
You are arguing about the techinical implementation outcome of the legislation. I am arguing the constitutionality of the legislation.
The point is the legislation allows the manufacturer the authority to prevent the citizen from driving his automobile where the manufacturer does not have the...
Regardless, the ability for the technology to be integrated into the vehicle is in the legislation. In the US though, there is legal precedence that the technology is unconstitutional under the 4th Amendment. If you read the Act, it allows for the technology to drive the vehicle to the...
Interesting. I'm a big proponent of the government not tracking its citizens. But all of us let private companies track us, be it the tech company/manufacturer we have a cell phone account with, or our credit card accounts with, or the manufacturer of our modern vehicle that has data...
