  1. Now all Trump has to do is get these babies on the voters list and they'll be as good as any Republican voter!

  2. The way I see it, they fail less spectacularly than a Tesla Model X autopilot running into a concrete wall, and Tesla is successful, so these must be a monster success!

    I bought my vehicle specifically so I wouldn't need to pay for flights.

    That's right, buses and subways also drive themselves and are way better for the environment.

    'When I'm forced to do family vacations', well I look forward to mine; obviously we see why you like your excuse not to drive long distances and you don't mind when you have to go off and charge the car.

    We don't. the people not driving eat and then we stop on the shoulder and switch.

  7. Typical tech companies. Give you some basic shitty word-bubble pamphlet feature and think that it is enough to "make up for" a constant onslaught of ads while they take the profit.

    I still want to know how they're going to deal with snow on the lenses.

    Besides, I'm not talking about the trip, I'm talking about while I'm there. I'm supposed to go to somewhere obscure to charge for an hour while my family is at the hotel having fun in the pool?

    Part of the point is not having to stop.

    I do not want to be stuck at some greasy spoon on vacation.... ever. We pack lunch and eat on the road because anywhere you stop is shit food.

    You're talking like a 'road trip' is obscure like a 30" concrete cutoff saw; nice strawman. Aren't road trips part of the American way?

  13. Clearly, The Machine is battling Samaritan again.

  14. Zuckerberg comes from a world where all is fair as long as you have 200% more things than you will ever need. I'm not surprised.

  15. Oh I agree. I can't justify getting a truck for that; I'm just confused how anyone can justify getting a truck any smaller than that.

  16. It wouldn't even dawn on me to go anywhere without the spare. If you need storage space that badly, your vehicle is too small.

  17. I guess I'm wrong. I didn't realize the trucks I've used were abnormally long.

  18. How is passing acceleration? I've read that the high-end torque leaves something to be desired.

  19. Also I've looked at F150s and most of them have a 99" box so what trucks are you buying?

  20. I'm in Canada and I've never borrowed a pickup from anyone and not been able to put an 8x4 sheet in it. What's the point of buying a pickup that has no more storage than an SUV? Just buy an SUV and get the added advantage of a roof.

  21. I'm pretty sure the SUVs are in the ditch because they have to pass the small cars that are diving slowly.

  22. Is it storage or does it hold the spare tire? It can only be one.

  23. I see people driving well below the speed limit all the time in small cars, on snowy days, on windy days, I can only assume they are afraid of the weather because the car doesn't really handle it correctly.

  24. Everyone I know that has a pickup truck actually uses it for a pickup truck; sorry don't live in your world. Not sure what you are talking about, the vast majority of F150s have boxes plenty big enough for an 8x4 sheet, I don't care what the buyer actually ends up using it for. To me with a shorter box is a much less functional pickup that may work for many but not all that a pickup does.

  25. Except if you have a large battery in the bed of your pickup how are you going to haul a stack of drywall or plywood? If I bought a pickup it would be with 8x4 sheets of stuff in mind.
