I would not call it exceptional.
- za3faran 4y agoShouldn't the government be responsible for paying repairs to vehicles that have sustained damages due to potholes? Or do they just take people's taxes for no return?
- mvf4z7 4y agoEspecially not in the state of Michigan.
- lost_tourist 4y agoI thought Texas roads were bad, and then I moved to Oklahoma for a year. Yeah, I was wrong.
- lijogdfljk 4y agoI suspect it's a joke
- 6stringmerc 4y agoPoe’s Law in action, ladies and gentlemen. Hat tip to Elon, it’s a tough trick.
- bheadmaster 4y agoI meant exceptional in the engineering sense of being unexpected by original (happy-path) models of function, not exceptional in sense of being unheard of in the real world.
- salawat 4y ago...Except, in the engineering sense, dealing with rough surfaces/potholes should absolutely be filed under "normal use". If someone built a car that wasn't at least checked for behavior in media real, I certainly would have rather profound concerns over it's manufacture.
- bheadmaster 4y ago> Except, in the engineering sense, dealing with rough surfaces/potholes should absolutely be filed under "normal use". I never claimed otherwise. The engineers' original model of function was faulty, and should've included rough surfaces/potholes. But since it (obviously) didn't, that makes rough surfaces/potholes an exceptional circumstance in the context of their model.
