    When squeezing, shaking, and shoving the wheel doesn't register...

    If there's something about the way you hold the wheel, that allows autopilot to sense that you are in fact holding it, please ignore this thread. For me, though, these don't work. Trying to apply force is something that mostly works, but is just as likely to make the car think I want to take...

    Roadster obsoletes gas sports cars

    Brings to mind one of my favorite quotes of all time: "The Stone Age didn’t end because of a shortage of stones: the oil age won't end because of a shortage of oil.” (Sheik Yemani, Saudi Oil. Minister, 1973)

    Clean Air Vehicle stickers

    Not just psychologically; physically they don't work. You're supposed to put 3 stickers on; one on the back and the other two on the side, just behind the rear wheel. But on the Tesla, there is no "behind the rear wheel"! I guess the good news is, I only have to put one of these stickers...

    Commuter Cars - Tango

    It sure is. Actually the back seat is quite comfortable and fits even large humans well. Really quite amazing. However, it's quite claustrophobic back there, because you can't see well in front of you. As far as making a dent in the market, the problem is funding. Thanks to the Federal...
