I miss the little Ranger. That thing was the perfect pickup truck (if your market didn't get the actual perfect pickup truck, the Toyota Hilux)

I'm American too. I trust they'll be fair (in a free and open society, it is dangerous for an arbiter to not be fair, hard to get reelected if you seem like a fraud to your electorate). I do not trust they'll be friendly. They're going to audit those records as hard as they've audited anything in a generation.

I love these birds too!

I'm sure the transport minister will be a friendly and impartial arbiter the day after 25% tariffs were announced on Canada's vital-and-thoroughly-intertwined-with-the-USA automotive industry.

Bahaha, who am I kidding. But then, if there's nothing to find, the Canadians won't fabricate anything, they have a functional 4th Estate and the journalists have a way of finding things like that. Stay tuned.

The company already owned the cars, boss :) Tesla the car manufacturer and Tesla the car dealership are both the same company, that single company is publicly traded under the symbol $TSLA.

Here's the Canadian statute. Notice that the jail terms are vastly longer if the deception influence the stock market in any way. IDK, I'm not a lawyer.

Hearing my pride and joy get called a third world country hurts pretty bad. But I honestly can't correct you, our judiciary, something broke? Folks used to trust judges. I'm old enough to remember those days.

I've stood before a judge, got my ass handed to me, and I took the beating without complaint because everybody respected the judge (and let's be real, I knew I did what I did, it was speeding and I am true to my name, I was absolutely speeding). Those days are gone.

Boss, you just described an absolutely bog-standard type of fraud XD If that is what occurred, people will go to prison.

The Canadian program also has, you know, rules. Rebates are marked as commercial or consumer. Every sales record I saw for the Teslas in question here, they were entirely consumer-grade from what I saw. So, if Tesla was selling the cars to themselves, they applied for the wrong type of rebate.

"Billionaires hate this one trick!"

I wondered the same thing.

Spite? Muscle memory, from when he wasn't a billionaire? Or we might see a self-selection thing happening. The folks who have any point where they are sated, those folks, we never even notice those folks, they do good in business and never get public attention. Billionaires are only the folks where the chase broke some limiting factor in them, they have no satiation point, and so folks notice them.

His kid isn't dead, she just doesn't go by that name anymore, and it is supremely dickish to treat her like that.

I feel like my Toyota, the towing limit on the spec sheet doesn't mean "after this number, the hitch snaps off." For legal reasons, I need to state that that is only a guess, and that I have not tested it on anything but private roads.

For gods sake, the limit should have at least a 25% buffer. 1% buffer is madness. Toyotas, we don't even know what the buffer is, it's large enough that I've never met anyone who got nerve-wrackingly close to it. I've certainly never met a Toyota driver who's frame or hitch has snapped off. I've now seen like 5 Cybertrucks with the whole towing assembly just tumbled across asphalt.

Please tell him he is perfect! He can sponge up all of my attentions

Blew the whole budget on the Tesla, didn't have any money left over for sand XD

You're also starting fights over on another thread of mine so... I guess this scratches some itch for you!

Boss, you do you. Call me if you need a tow.

That's part of the story (though, why did Tesla ship a luxury truck with such trash tires?). Weight is a actually good thing in light snow. If you have low traction, you can actually add weight to the truck bed to get better traction. Folks in my neck the woods put sandbags and stuff in their beds to do exactly that.

Keep your eyes on what the tires are doing in the video. See how they're rolling at all the wrong times, and then locking up at all the wrong times? That's an electronic system failing, that's probably the Automatic Traction Control, and evidently it doesn't know what the fuck to do with snow.

We strive for accuracy here at FuelArc News XD If the story is simple enough, we sometimes even achieve it!

Gentrified forest is the most cursed phrase I heard in a minute.

Just announcing a follow-up self-driving system on their first really pretty bad system has them on an escape trajectory with their stock price.

I'm starting to think Tesla set all the wrong examples for the auto industry.
