noxy

if only the Miata was a mass produced, affordable vehicle, regarded highly by car enthusiasts, with a thriving aftermarket for modifications and upgrades. Maybe there might be some ways to increase the engine power.

Oh well..

That Miata absolutely fucks.

Were I a dragon I would take it in a dragonsfuckingcars-ly fashion

You really shouldn't be worried about Bolts specifically. Way more likely to have an ICE vehicle catch fire than an EV.

And that massive Bolt recall means the used affected ones all have newer batteries anyways

algorithmic system, so...Software?

And yet they may still be allowed to ~~merge with~~ assimilate Albertson's, leaving so many neighborhoods with less (or even zero) choices for where to ~~buy groceries~~ get price gouged

I wish I could believe that we will ever be free of "MAGA".

My non-Tesla EV would only be affected by way of more Teslas at non-Tesla chargers. Which, to your point, would be a pretty significant impact to road trips.

But neither I nor most people take road trips more than a few times a year, so even in this extreme case, the impact wouldn't be relevant ~95% of the time.

And to the original topic, this wouldn't brick any EVs or anything like that.

There are no alternatives. Everything is predatory. Blaming consumers is ignorant.

do you also blame EVs for the same shit happening outside the auto industry?

I'm trying to get across that this stuff would have happened even if Tesla never existed.

Why do you think that? What exactly about the motor spinning from electrons instead of hydrocarbons makes any difference?

that only shifts the problem to Apple and Google, neither of which can be trusted to keep supporting older versions of CarPlay or Android Auto as the years go by and they change shit around.

You shouldn't be happy about that, if for no reason other than other drivers (and pedestrians, cyclists, etc) are put at risk of these systems' limitations, and folks relying on them more than they ought to.
