They’re all over Redmond, WA. Not nearly as common as Teslas (the “Redmond Camry”), but I guarantee I’ll see a late-model LR every time I drive somewhere. There’s probably at least one near my house every day at school drop-off/pickup

I believe it's something to do with the coating they use on their wiring and harnesses Soy-based wiring insulation. And it’s not just Jag/LR, Honda had enough of a problem that they wrap their insulation in a tape with capsaicin

I was thinking about the proximity to the bowl. The flush handle/button usually isn’t single digit inches from where poop splashes around.

Does it have an alcohol mister pointed at that fingerprint sensor? That's probably the last place in my house I'd encourage people to be rubbing their fingers.

From the linked CNET article: "The device has a removable, rechargeable battery and uses a USB connection." Or, if you're willing to spend $600 on a poop camera, you probably already have a bidet with power near the toilet.

And the company can be sued at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. That does not mean the plaintiff will win, but against deep enough pockets, it can be worth a try. PIPs take time, and HR isn’t about to let you skip them, and bad

With all those pronouns and not an antecedent in sight, what and who are you taking about?

When I saw "Turkish alphabet bug", I just knew it was some version of toLower() gone horribly wrong. (I'm sure there's a good reason, but I find it odd that compiler message tags are invariably uppercase, but in this pro

Talk about a nothing article, in addition to the clickbait headline. I flagged it and went on about my day.

If its drive-by-wire steering… Which it isn’t. What production passenger vehicles have no steering column? (EDIT: oh, yeah, forgot about Cybertruck.)

I have no comment but for the hero pic at the top, as I look at the other people in that meeting. And then it occurred to me: can you imagine having to sit through a cabinet meeting listening to that nut job? Man, I thought I'd had som

It's not about building the perfect thing, it's about not building the dumb thing that blocks discussion of building something that will actually work. What's currently built is not even workable, IMO, let alone anywhere near

As long as I’ve been alive, the biggest deficit hawks (read: Republicans) are the biggest spenders when it’s their turn on power.

Back in the old days you didn't need to "check your tires" because it's flagrantly obvious visually and in terms of handling when a tire with a 65 or 75 aspect ratio is low. On bias-ply tires from ‘60s, sure. You’re no

...which should turn the alternator/generator which should now be able to run the engine. Depends; what's lighting up the field coils in the alternator? A generator, which probably went out of cars in the '60s, sure. But so

Probably safer not to introduce electricity to gasoline… Ooookay. I've never even heard third-hand stories of an electric fuel pump lighting the gasoline on fire, if that's what you're getting at, and I was a professional m

If you can't push-start a car, it's because it has electronic fuel injection. If the battery is stone dead, there's no juice to run the FI and fuel pump, it will never start. It would work on stone cold carbureted cars becaus

this is yet another thing that makes Teslas and EVs intimidating to someone driving one for the first time No, it’s just Teslas. Being an EV does not mean it has to have idiotic control schemes. The Ioniq 5 has sane seat controls, as one

On the Y they just covered the interior of the glass roof? I mean, I see glass on the outside, but the interior looks like a standard headliner. The comparison sheet confirms no glass roof for the Y Standard.

I won’t even go into how the air filters are replaced — but it starts with removing the dashboard… That's just bad design having nothing to do with EVs. It takes me about 30 seconds to replace cabin filter in a Hyundai Ioniq 5. The h

Can't have a discussion on climate change without the obligatory "But what about Chiiiiina !?" It's time to own up to the fact that China is going out of their way to use renewables, and the U. S. is actively sabotaging
