You couldn't pay me to let a cop linger on my property, off duty or not, I don't want someone unbound by law hanging around.

The logo is for a toy brand, Britains, formerly W. Britains in the era of this advert.

Lee, for his part, has vowed to return with a diluted version of the proposal, writing on X, "Yes, the Byrd Rule limits what can go in the reconciliation bill, but I'm doing everything I can to support President Trump and move this forward. Stay tuned. We're just getting started."

The fight isn't over though. It was just deemed to be too far outside of strictly budget related proposals. Another version of this will be added eventually. If not in this same bill, the next one.

Hey friend, mine is a gen 2 S, so the menus may vary, but when I'm in park, I can turn off the "full self driving" option. Then that lets me turn lane centering on and off. That will put you back to the one click for cruise, second click for lane keep.

I made a second driver profile, one with autopilot and one without. That lets me switch in and out quickly without needing to find a safe spot to stop the car. I hope that helps!

Very true, I wasted no time putting some stickers on to show I dessent. The dumpster trucks are really the only ones you can be sure are driven by assholes.

I posted this in the past and it continues to be true. Autopilot is getting worse overtime. Tesla is feeding autopilot driving data into its system to learn to drive better. The problem is, it's learning its worst habits. Phantom braking, hesitation in turns, unable to keep a steady speed. Every update I try it and rarely last more than a couple miles. It's not that I want to use it, I just want to see if it's getting better or worse.

The wild thing is, turning off autopilot and using lane keep and cruise is fine. They warn you that lane keep is old autopilot so it's not as reliable, trying to urge you into using full autopilot so they can harvest more data. But that "old" autopilot was built before all the updates that made the full autopilot system unusable to me

If you're wondering, I'd like to not be driving a Tesla. But it's paid off, worth basically nothing in resale, and I got it as a CPO with free charging and autopilot for life. It costs Tesla money to keep it.

Not Tesla dealerships. They sell their cars online so the dealers really only exist as a pickup location and any final documentation from the buyer. These lots filling up with unsold cars means that production is exceeding sales to the point they are distributing cars to sit on lots waiting for buyers. It's inverse of how Tesla normally operates.

Same as every funding bill for the last 8+ years. Far right sides with the Democrats, for opposing reasons. Then we either get a far right bill with freedom caucus support, or we get the bill pulled up the left for moderate democrat support.

Plans now include a parade since that coincides with Trump's 79th birthday.

According to the article, the parade part is specifically for Trump

Congratulations! I love the retro-futuristic headlight style on those. Your DC fast charging speed must also wildly faster, im envious of new EVs in comparison to my 2016. They've come a long way

 
 

Sorry all, I used the wrong template

 
 

They had GA manufacturer plates on the rear with EU plates on the front. The drivers wouldn't say what they were doing with them, just that it was secret. All the logos were removed. No significant differences between them on the exterior, but they had different exhaust configurations.
