One of those bottles — sold as Adderall — tested positive for methamphetamine.

Well no shit. I also test positive for methamphetamine because I take Adderall.

Edit: I've missed and I'm sorry guys.

Are you using pressure advanced?

Right. Apple is even more restricted but somehow won their case. Makes it all seem like bullshit.

I've worked with stainless steel (specifically 304, 430 and 401) for 15 years and the steel shouldn't have a memory after being run through a de-coiling machine that is configured properly. Excessive heat in a focused area would definitely cause it to warp but this can usually be overcome by adding geometry to stiffen the parts. It seems like the team at Tesla is missing a step somewhere.

I agree that all of those things are improving but repairability or even the right to repair new electric vehicles is flaky at best and that's my concern. I don't want to own a vehicle that I'm unable to repair. Not to mention manufacturers locking features behind paywalls.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect 10+ years or more out of a car without shelling out a large sum of money for a battery swap. This is probably my only concern. Repairability and the cost of those repairs.

Also maybe don't make me buy a car through a dealership. Why can't I just order and car and it gets delivered to my house instead of making me pick it up from a dealer that gets to charge whatever they want for being a middle man on top of the cars already being too expensive.

Side note and probably hot take but I think if manufacturers were serious they would be rushing to phase out most of their combustion vehicles. If people want a new car it's going to be electric and if they don't want EV then they can find a nice used car and pay a premium for gas.

Depending on the grade, the weight difference between stainless steel and carbon steel of the same thickness is not much of any at all.

Not a Tesla fan but this article is garbage. Basically all sheet metal comes on coils "that resemble toilet paper" including the metal that other manufacturers use.

Right. I can't wait for the thermal camera on my ridiculously expensive car to break so it can become a lawn ornament until I spend thousands on a new camera.

This seems specific to marijuana but I fully agree that testing in a way that covers so much time and isn't specific is unfair.

A THC test with a short window is what's needed but that's specific to marijuana use. It's wild that you don't really care if someone comes to work high or drunk. In very real non hypothetical situations people can die or be severely injured if someone isn't paying attention. Would you allow law enforcement to work under the influence?

This sounds like a talking point for the right about the "extreme" left. I don't own a business but I also don't expect them to foot the bill if I come to work drunk and it sounds pretty ridiculous to say they should. Saying addicts should get jobs and not worry about the consequences of coming to work under the influence is ridiculous. I'm all for helping people when they're ready for help but giving them a pass for being reckless is too far.

The sugar industry can fuck off.

I'm not sure how people still care about this.

It's $15/year. Not exactly breaking the bank.

I can't find this rating anywhere. It was proposed this year but that's all I can find.

I don't think anything about any car is designed to soften the blow for a pedestrian. They usually have a crumple zone to dissipate energy in a collision but that isn't designed with pedestrians in mind. Also they would likely repair this like any other vehicle since the body is made up of several panels.

True but they specifically said a new deck was a few years out.
