The criminals come up with new assaults on citizens all the time...

‘They're going to kill me': A Waymo rider was trapped inside as vandals smashed the robotaxi

In a strange twist, the police report doesn't list the rider as the victim of the attack. The self-driving car is the victim of the of malicious mischief. The rider is merely a witness.

It's lovely in the summer. 20 years ago:

But winter? That's a hard NO, at least for me.

As for the Stashe video above: Yep, totally the wrong use case for an EV.

If you had stayed Up Nord you could have been a U-per! Definitely not a good place for an EV in winter.

Definitely not a good place for an EV in winter.

Heck, the U-P is north of the most populous cities in Canada! Like I said, Winter? NOPE!

@Uwe You just gotta learn to chill-out - literally. Think of all the fun you're missing out on at -40 F. You could be out snowmobiling enjoying fresh air with no smoke from wildfires, enjoying wildlife along the way and even stopping at a local watering hole for some "antifreeze"...

Not what was planned... or not planned well?

Man traveling across US Midwest for road trip in his Tesla Model S installs gas generator to avoid stopping to charge but it backfires

This guy tried charging his Tesla Model S using a gas generator for his road trip across the Midwest and found out the hard way why that was probably a bad idea

I'm pretty sure we've had some videos posted about that guy's series hybrid adventures posted somewhere in this forum.

I'm surprised he wasn't able to do the math to determine that the generator was insufficient for his needs and that he'd be consuming a lot of petrol to run it.

Smoke in your eyes...

Zoox recalls all 105 robotaxis after one blunders into heavy smoke at a fire scene

Zoox is recalling its entire robotaxi fleet for a software fix after one Amazon-owned self-driving vehicle lost its bearings in thick smoke near a fire scene.

What you mean you wouldn't want to see hundreds of these flooding the streets?

Are you Buzzed???

We Road-Tripped 2,000-Plus Miles in Our Volkswagen ID Buzz. Here’s What Surprised Us the Most.

We road-tripped the 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz from Virginia to Atlanta to see whether VW's electric minivan is a true road-trip machine. Here's what we learned about range, charging, comfort, and navigation.

Are you Buzzed???

The entire trip stretched 2,116 miles, averaging 2.4 miles/kWh at a cost of 18 cents per mile.

Wait, aren't EV's supposed to be cheap to run?

According to Fuelly, where I've logged every single fill up since I bought it 5-1/2 years ago, my RAM 1500 Ecodiesel has averaged 13.5 cents per mile:



At the risk of sounding like a broken record: The only sensible use-case for an EV is local driving and charging it at home.

But wait... The elites who fly into Davos in their private jets annually to determine how we must all live, have NOT approved George's PSA. Maybe they need a refresher course on "earth"?

Is Angstrom Automotive trying to protect Tesla customers from themselves????

Tesla Sues Supplier Over Plant Closure, Alleged Lockout That Could Halt Cybertruck Production

The pickup’s build process can’t go on without specific tools, Tesla claims — tools that are being kept behind closed doors away from the carmaker.
