does that mean i can throw used vapes into the ocean???

ummm, do you mean car batteries? because what you're talking about is littering. throwing car batteries into the ocean however is perfectly legal, and a fun weekend activity.

how the gently caress do you hit a rock in the middle of a frozen lake?

sometimes after the lake has frozen, people throw rocks onto it or they fall from the shore and the wind blows them around. then on warm days they can melt in a bit and get stuck.

Having done this exact thing back when winter was regularly cold enough for Lake Champlain to freeze over in totality, I can tell you that the bays of Champlain all have a little granite seamounts scattered about that, under a few inches of snow, will absolutely rip out a small car's suspension.

to the surprise of no one, tesla has problems in europe, too.

https://twitter.com/Tesla_Bear/status/1100520637540564994

some highlights: tesla requires full payment before even giving a delivery date. delivery dates get postponed multiple times, german customers have to self-register their cars, but are not given appropriate documents before delivery, so have to postpone delivery themselves, delivered cars don't charge at a useful rate, expected quality issues, cars rebooting while driving, reservation fees mean nothing

well you probably should pull over, because you also have no instrument cluster and can't in any way interact with "autopilot" or whatever

If I read the Twitter thread correctly, one user had it reboot three times in an hour but said autopilot worked through the reboots

Why the gently caress would you keep using autopilot after the first one??????
