"...once the authorities have seized your vehicle, you’ve got a total of 14 days to reclaim it. Within the first seven days, you must produce documents proving that you’re the vehicle’s registered owner. You’ll then have a further seven days to arrange to have the vehicle collected from the police impound lot. [...] If your vehicle has been issued with a PG9 prohibition notice, isn’t roadworthy or won’t start, you need to arrange for a fully trained, equipped and insured vehicle recovery operator to collect it at your own expense.

[...]

If you fail to recover your car in time (or you simply don’t want to reclaim it), the police will arrange to have your vehicle sold at auction or destroyed. "

from there i read this FT article, "Elon Musk's Twitter backers gain windfall from xAI deal", which to me sounds like the very same people who invested in twitter are "gaining a windfall" by doubling down on elon and investing in xAI, somehow? like, the article basically talks about the potential for that to make them whole, eventually, maybe. it's an old article and i think i remember discussing it in the old musk thread, but whatever

anyway, i made the mistake of reading the comments — there are a ton of elon dickriders in there, but i lol'd at this, which was in response to someone saying that they didn't know how this would work either because xAI is so far behind its competitors. that led to people defending grok's honor, of course

tl;dr grok having the most hallucinations out of any model is actually good, so good that they use it for financial advice (but when called on it, they of course move the goalposts to "just seeing what it says!"):

lol the rear looks like it says "Hands" (or "Hengs", i guess). i'm sure that's due to the resolution and lovely chroma though, it's probably fine irl

the front kinda looks like a lambo, and in from the front profile it's honestly not terrible. that rear end absolutely ruins it though imo

well, that and the yoke. idk why other companies (especially established companies like honda and toyota) continue to copy that particularly stupid loving idea, iirc even tesla doesn't offer it as a default anymore because they kept selling out of the makeshift regular steering wheel (which again iirc was missing some controls) they offered as an aftermarket part

e: this isn't about those prototypes, i clicked on the article about the prologue because i completely forgot what it looks like (a boring-rear end generic SUV). but lmao'd at this:

quote:

The Prologue’s Sport button, located somewhat inconveniently to the left of the steering wheel, may be a GM button but the outcome is programmed by Honda. Interestingly, the car uses a passive damping system and there is actually no physical transformation that makes the car feel more grounded and quicker when Sport mode is activated.

When you press the sport button, it changes the power steering to feel sportier and heavier,” Hwang says. “The throttle mapping is also different, and the EV sound–the whoosh sound–changes. But the sound and the tip in the throttle feeling alters how you perceive the acceleration or motion. Basically, it changes how you perceive it but there is no mechanical change.

It’s similar to using a touchscreen, Hwang explains; a sound makes you feel like you actually pushed something, but it’s really just the sound coming from the center speaker.

huh yeah. maybe if you're a toddler??
