  • No, he became a billionaire by grifting and lying, getting government handouts for huge projects that never actually did what he claimed, if they were completed at all.

    "Humans on Mars in 10 years"-2011 "FSD... From Los Angeles to new York city with no human intervention....NOW" etc.

    But he wouldn't have been able to even get the ears of those grifts and government handouts without already being wealthy.

  • They definitely can. The Chevy volt complies to the standard, but anything outside (ie to do with the battery diagnostics, or electric propulsion system) is behind a completely different protocol where most normal readers won't read.

    Considering how every company is trying to paywall everything, I don't doubt they'll continue to push the "limit" further and further from any standard.

  • The bigger problem is, being ALLOWED to plug in your laptop and delve through the logs.

    The right to repair has died with manufacturers following in Tesla footsteps, who is following the guidebook from apple.

  • Nice. And then soon it'll be "watch this add to take the fastest route".

    Then "subscribe for an add free experience" without subscription you get the add, as well as navigation that requires you to drive to a detoured location and take a picture of said location before continuing on to your destination (or yet another detour add, if the trip is long enough).

    Look at us, peak civilization here.

  • Depends on what you need.

    I use my truck about the same as you. But get 13mpg towing, and 18 not.

    1995 Ford 250 PSD.

    It's not comfortable, it's not fast, it's not fancy. But it'll pull whatever I put behind it. Carry almost anything I will ever need to (definitely more than I want to physically unload), and it's economical, and "future proof" in that I can modify in almost any way and still register without new diesel problems (high pressure pumps eating the entire system, def fluid and filter plugging, egr cooler plugging etc.)

    Personally I'd say get an older diesel that is in ok shape that you can make what you need.
