APRIL 2014 CAR SPOTTERS THREAD!
Out of curiosity, when did you see this? I read an article just yesterday about a journalist in his first distance run in a Telsa who, I'm sure, was doing things on purpose to make the tesla look bad. For example, leaving on a 250 mile journey with only a 250 mile charge... of course he ran out of juice on a rural highway at 1am, 3 miles from the charging station and then no one from AAA wanted to flat-bed him because they don't know the procedure. (hint: jumpstarting a tesla is exactly the same as jump starting any other car, except you access the terminals through the nose). And yes, you must jump start a Telsa to wake it up enough to pull it on a flatbed. Reading the entire article its as if he was trying to get stuck. OCN, most of the Telsa owners I've met are well-to-do types who have "thinking" related jobs.... 3 of the Telsa owners I know of here in Pittsburgh work for Carnegie Mellon University (2 in the advanced computing department, one in the advanced propulsion department). Clearly their heads aren't empty. In fact, it's usually the people incapable of open-mindedness and critical thought who tend to be the most empty headed by sheer virtue of refusing to fill up their brains with other ideas and new facts.

One wonders how much extra safety tech Clinton's Fleetwood Brougham even had. I'm sure it was bulletproof and semi-blast resistant, but not much more. I know when GWB got his first DTS, it was one of the first to get the more serious hardware we see today. His second DTS is still in service as a backup car for POTUS.

Industry News: Transportation Secretary Wants To Increase The Max Fine On Untimelyness
I think it needs to be made painful without making it too painful to develop cars in the first place. If they design something, find a flaw later, and immediately recall, they won't face the fine. But if they wait years and years, or publicly stall like Toyota did, then the fine should be very very painful for the company.... so painful that they have an incentive to not stall.

Chrome mobile is junk... over half the time, websites can't seem to detect it as a mobile browers and instead render the entire desktop site. I use Dolphin exclusively. Cubi... I think your problem was sticking with Motorola (which is being sold off by Google already). I've been very happy with the three Galaxies I've had (S2, S4, Tab2) My next tablet though will be one of the Lenovo convertibles running Windows 8.1- Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-Benz Ponders An 'On-Road' SUV Lineup
- Industry News: Two U.S. Senators Ask The Department of Transportation To Urge Owners Not To Drive Vehicles Involved In The Ignition Switch Recall
OMG No! 2.6 million vehicle do NOT need to be repaired.... a few hundred thousand need to be repaired and the rest are getting new ignition switches because GM has no way of telling which car has defective switches. What GM needs to do is figure out a way that consumers can test their switch, let those who fail the test go first in the recall and then get everyone else later. Many of these cars have been on the road for close to 10 years without issue.... they are safe to drive.- Quick Drive: 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Turbodiesel
