Do they work in reverse?
I know my dumb car behaves poorly at high speed and heavy brakes in reverse (bias is very wrong). I have no idea if tesla has auto brakes in reverse or if they have enough control to fix bias when backing up.

No idea I will have to borrow my bosses and try and drive into a building in reverse. I can't imagine it doesn't have reverse auto brakes.

This is the funny part since they're the big "share the road" folks.
When the peloton wouldn't move over even after a tiny bit of horn it was KLR to the rescue. I pulled onto the shoulder and passed them in full roost mode. If you wanna be a wanker you can eat gravel.
I find that Tesla "drivers" are just Corolla/Camry "drivers" that have money. Was riding behind one today that was tapping the brakes every 10 seconds for no goddamn reason.
And it's a Honda Civic underneath that Corolla btw.

Have you driven through markham lately where it feels like every second vehicle is a tesla? I'm pretty sure its the cars safety features rather then driver skill that keeps the majority of teslas out of these predicaments.
Ballsy but they didn't have a lot to lose. Asking for a warning when you are more than double the speed limit has to have almost a zero percent chance of success (unless you have a badge and/or juice).

Cambridge driver asked for warning instead of ticket after being clocked at 175 kilometres per hour: OPP
A Cambridge driver asked an officer to give them a warning instead of a ticket after they clocked their vehicle at a top speed of 175 kilometres per hour in an 80 kilometres per hour zone, police say.

. . . except you subsidized their purchase, unlike the Toyota.
So far. With our governments handing out $15B+ at a time to automakers, I expect the rest to pile in soon. The budget will balance itself. Meanwhile boom/bust is almost guaranteed with a huge loss to taxpayers.
Haha. Loser. For crap like that, there really needs to be action on the license (after conviction). They obviously aren't mentally prepared to drive in public. Back to school, cancel AZ and start again, etc. Something major to get the boneheads out of the death missiles.
I meant subsidizing the rich who can afford them, while the poor can only afford older gas guzzlers.
Another version of the Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
Same crap, slightly different piles. If you give manufacturers billions of tax dollars to make EV's (billions out of the pockets of average citizens I might add) and EV's are primarily bought by people with far more money than average, it's the same just bigger piles and a little more obscurity than a straight prius vs corolla purchasing decision.
Precisely, and why the EV purchasing incentives shouldn't exist (they skew to more wealthy people). This has been known since the beginning of the programme when rich people started buying Teslas, and getting money back.
Repairs on the new stuff has its limitations. One sees the 1950 cars in Cuba but they have Russian truck engines.
Here a missing circuit chip can mean scrapping a car if there is no right to repair or there’s extreme patent enforcement.
The guy needing a cheap beater is out of luck if it isn’t a common model.
Public transit continues to be a joke.
I gave up on the combined Go Transit and TTC system a couple of decades back because I had to own a car anyway, so insurance was a sunk cost. After that it was only a few dollars a day more expensive to drive my car to work, so why would I give up the freedom to come and go when I want, to be saddled with their schedules? From what I hear, from co-workers, it hasn't changed much in all that time. That's even given current fuel prices.
Parking is the killer if you have to move around. The max out times get you more than once. The TTC may be more eco but there is a limit to what a body can endure. That said we don't have professional pushers like Japan, we let the louts do it.
The deals are for seniors. I can pay $1 cash to ride the Mississauga bus to Square 1 from Etobicoke after 9:00 AM. Six dollars gets me to downtown Hamilton via Go bus. I can't recall the HSR fares but under $10 is attractive.

Fortunately my office is in a single building, on campus, so I pay by the month for a spot. Been waiting to get into one of the uni owned lots for 5 years now and if I do, it will save me almost $100/month. Maybe when I retire a space will finally be freed-up?
