  2. It takes a special kind of stupid to (a) buy a car with a self-drive feature and (b) then actually use it.

    1. Very much back in the day, my mother and her sister drove a buggy to school. On the way home, especially in winter, they tended to just let the horse find the way home. All went well until, one day, the horse was thirsty and headed down the bank to the nearby stream. Fortunately, a Mountie (on horseback) was nearby and got the horse back up onto the track for them.
      However, this one incident notwithstanding, their buggy had a very good self-drive feature which they used, particularly in the winter.

  3. I wonder how a self driving car performs in a snowstorm?
    Or just blowing snow?

    Perhaps New Democrats could try it out?

    But they need to tell us when they’re doing it, so we can stay off the road.

  4. I’m wondering if liberal lawyers are actively pushing for more self driving EVs.

    It would provide a lot more business for them.

  7. “The owner is reportedly seeking to sue either the city or Tesla or both for his Model 3 winding up half-underwater.”

    Should be summarily thrown out of court for being so stupid, and required to pay court costs.

  8. Personally, I’m all for self-driving tech, and I’m happy that there are enough idiots like this guy out there to fund its development. Karen killed Caveat Emptor, and this is the result.
    To all those who are scared to share the road with this tech, I suggest that you triple-mask and stay indoors.

  9. ” Ryan had apparently passed several “FLOODED” signs along the side of the road, but started ignoring them when actual flooding seemed pretty scarce.”

    Ryan is a moron, and decided to announce it to everyone.

    1. I’m fairly certain I learned about flash flooding in desert locales in about my 3rd grade science book. Oh well, add another knowledge gap in the lives of our younger generations. Knowledge displaced by teachings of the LGBTQq2s+/-

    2. PRECISELY.

      TOUGH SHITSKI…LMAO.
      I’LL tell ya though, was in Las Vegas in Late Dec for 10 days (stayed with GF’s Brother), but the number of Tesla’s on the rds there was very very noticeable. WE went one day to check out the Hoover Dam…Pretty Kool looking at an important part of history. It was very noticeable however that the water level on Lake Mead had to be at a minimum 60-80′ lower than hi water marks…if not more.

      No water..?? No Electricity Generation – No Charging EV’s

      BTW…if any of ya go to Vegas – You HAVE to check out the SPHERE – not cheap, but well worth going.
      Pretty AMAZING Place.

  10. heh heh. flashback time.
    late 70s rocketing down highway 3 or whatever st catharines to london for a dental appt. lm in a shytbox ford ‘courier’ (actually mazda but they didnt tell me that).
    puddle not to deep maybe less than a foot deepest across the rod. l did like the train plow hits the huge snow bank thing.
    and drenched the engine and stalled it.
    oopsie.
    luckily the rain had long stopped so l lifted the hood aired things out for abt an hour aaaaaand you got it, started up chug chug chug vroom plenty of time for the appt.

    there were no EVs at the time.

  13. He’s lucky he didn’t run over anything that tore into the battery box. When lithium gets wet, you don’t want to be sitting on it.
