Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Take a group of people who grew up without the need for any technical skills, put them in a car that is wildly complex and this is what you get.
I'm no fan of overcomplicated stuff, but if you own something like this, it is your problem to educate yourself on how it works and how to deal with issues and failures or get used to being bent over any time you have to pay an adult to rescue you.
Also, I don't own a Tesla, but I looked it up and there should be multiple warnings on the display about a failing 12v battery as well as messages via the app. I'm going to guess that they were ignored in this case.
Of course, the owner "still loves the car!" to further drive home the fact that he's a moron.
I think a big part of the issue is that we really need to both update drivers ed requirements and enforce drivers ed attached to the transition from a certain year of car to a new one.
It’s wild to me that there’s no sit down conversation or even lesson with the purchase of a new car with the dozens of features they have. A lot of those features directly impact safety and several others can be a distraction.
Brand-new cars do come with owner's manuals, just like damn near everything else one buys. I suspect most buyers never read them though.
Even if I had never read the manual of my car. If I get a warning - as this thread suggests should, it have been there - I make sure to check the manual then and probably drive to a garage.
