There are 800k names that’ll never get a job offer from me.

Toyota’s been doing that for over 25 years in its hybrids.

It’s an excellent, highly reliable system.

It’s like engine braking in an ICE-powered car in terms of its effect on the car’s dynamics.

there is a reason why most people who own Teslas use it

Yeah, it’s because they go with the default.

Back before about 1920, there weren’t standard interfaces in cars. Pedal arrangements were arbitrary, there were levers to control things like spark advance, stuck wherever the manufacturer liked, and secondary controls were even more random than they are now. There’s no reason to go back to those days.

Using a tablet to control a moving car is a dangerously stupid move that regulators should never have allowed. It’s even worse than the notoriously shit BMW Tiptronic modal controller of cursed memory.

If you can understand changing gears on a modern ice auto using the paddles, then it’s not beyond the average driver to quickly get to grips with using it for regen.

Teslas have a CVT. No paddles.

And I’d like to know why one-pedal regenerative braking would be any more economical than two-pedal.

Incidentally, hybrid cars have had two-pedal regen braking since 2000 (and before that in Japan-- the Prius came out there in '97).

The touch screen is an interface-design antipattern. It causes worse driver distraction than a phone, since experienced users can often interact with simple phone apps without looking. They should be banned, and Tesla (and all carmakers) should be forced to retrofit car controls that are proven safe by third-party testers.

But instead, we have Trump, so next year’s Teslas will have automomous chainsaw-bots prowling the car’s cabin.

And so is braking by letting off the gas.

First thing I disabled when I was lent a model Y by a friend. Second thing was any kind of self-drive.

So how can I disconnect my car from the internet?

Why would they use real doctors at all?

Because chinwags like the COP are accomplishing nothing, and there’s not enough direct action.

About half of the fuel used in shipping is to move fossil fuel from one place to another.

It’s a con, supported largely by the same companies who have already been committing ecocide.
