  • It’s absolutely ridiculous how hard the school systems make it to get on a bus route.

    You basically have to stay at the same residence and at the same school for their entire education. Even just moving within the district and they use it as an excuse to “put you on a wait list”.

    Add in the shortage of drivers (who wants that job) and any excuse they can use to change boundaries or cut a route.

    It’s like the fucking DMV on steroids.










  • SUV do they break or make on the truck version?

    Losses due to reinvestment in plant tooling, is that really a P&L loss?

    Not in article…

    2 lower cost models on the way.

    Good acceptance from current customers.

    The Amazon delivery fleet units as a common service network back bone. Which I think become open for use beyond Amazon soon and adds another large sales and service revenue stream.

    I think they are better off than this seems.

    As a potential customer when the smaller models come out, he battery DRM is still what had me concerned with them. Along with the VW eventual meddling.






  • BMW has had lane assist (I believe standard) for a few years now. As others above have said, it gives resistance and visible feedback with varying degrees of force if you try to change lanes without a blinker. Many others makes now do as well.

    Essentially, in a 2018 or newer model BMW it is a pain in the ass to change lanes - even on an empty road - if you don’t use a blinker. And it probably snitches on you to your insurance company if you frequently make the light come on.

    As for the lowered 2011 3 series with the loud exhaust and not quite right looking M badges passing you in a cloud of strawberry mountain dew flavored vapor, well… yeah what do you expect. The forest of little tree air fresheners makes it hard to see through the rear view anyway.
