anyone living where it snows regularly sees the cycle of snow -> slush -> roads dry -> line of cars at car wash

nobody is loving worried about washing their car in freezing temps.

with the absurd amount of salt we put on our roads you bet your rear end i'm in the wash bay regularly

feels good to disappear into a cloud of grey water and emerge in a clean, unsalted car

well if you own a tesla it's a choice between body rot and a functioning vehicle I guess

Check out two Tesla battery modulus catch fire and thermal runaway, courtesy of rich rebuilds.

It was part of an ev conversion project, and they weren't accidentally sorted the battery out.

these are getting to be like 9x era windows updates

The hardware doesn't matter, we can update everything in software. Want a self driving car? We've just gotta write the code and push it out to the fleet

a few pages back, but florida does have hills in the panhandle, and some of the hills in town here require curbing your tires to safely park on them.

the panhandle has actually belonged to Georgia this whole time and nobody's bothered to check :ssh:

for reference, this is the car that needed an ota update to make the brakes work because no one thought to check if real-world braking performance differed from their perfectly clean and level asphalt test-track

Tell him to just activate automatic driving and it will seek out a snowplow for him.

it's amazing that the wheels apparently aren't even beginning to rotate. i thought that traction control at least needed a little bit of movement to detect slipping. almost like it's just a terrible software bug like those italian motorcycles where the engine won't fire if it's exactly 0 celsius because of a divide-by-zero error

but if it is traction control why isn't there just a button to turn it off, like in every other car ever made with the system
