From the F-150 warranty:

"misuse of the vehicle, such a driving over curbs, overloading, racing or using the vehicle as a permanent stationary power source"

And right above that part it says it won't cover you driving through a car wash.

For the same wind and water environment exclusion take a look at page 18.

Performative outrage against non-issues is amazingly common these days, but maybe it's always been that way. I can just hear an old lady on Little House on the Prairie exclaiming "Oh my, well I never!"

The Pinto thing is total BS sensationalist stat mining. They include the guy that tried to blow himself up in the Cybertruck in Vegas as someone who was killed by the truck. Really?

The parts thing only happens when vehicles and replacement parts are under warranty. @newtboy If you can find the source showing the warranty is voided driving a Cybertruck in the grass then I'll find the same language in the warranty docs for Fords.

This stuff is funny and Tesla doesn't deserve any leeway since their CEO has apparently gone"fact free" lately, but pushing easy to discredit "facts" seems like it distracts from the real issues with these vehicles and the company as a whole.

The biggest problem with Tesla in my mind is their over-promising and shitty service. I'm not sure how companies get away with promising stuff that isn't available yet but it seems like it is getting more common.

To me it looks like their service problems are a mix of 3 factors.
1. Not enough replacement parts at the ready
2. Service centers are understaffed because of the principal of running at below expected need until shit breaks. Only then can you apply more resources.
3. Service centers were designed to work efficiently but are run by a bunch of idiots that came from other manufacturer service centers so they want to do it "their way" instead of following the efficient hands off model that was originally planned.

This is why we need a functioning immigration system, like we had before the felon’s first term, not why we need to defund immigration courts, not why we should halt asylum and refugee programs, not why we need to defund the border patrol like Republicans voted for.

The $20 million of taxpayer money used to go to the Super Bowl could have been spent hiring 400 border agents for an entire year! Or 100 immigration judges, either of which could make a noticeable positive difference. The $10 million spent on golf so far, another 200/50. The $1 million per military flight (instead of $8k per immigration flight) could have funded a thousand more border agents or 250 judges. That’s 1600 border agents or 400 judges not hired, not protecting the border, and every penny spent to pay for one man’s entertainment for 3 weeks. So much for eliminating waste or trying to fix the problem.
If doge was looking for waste or fraud, they would have hit the office of the president first, that is where the biggest wastes and frauds are.

Everything he complained about is a direct result of Republicans policy, not one bit from what Democrats voted for or implemented. Nothing the Republicans have done has helped stem the tide at all, except for destroying the economy which had many return home in 2020 for work. They voted against more border control, against better immigration courts, and against working with our neighbors instead of against them.
What keeps enticing immigrants from South America, and they’ve been 100% clear, open, and honest about it whenever they are asked, is Republicans politicians on TV every single day saying the US border is wide open, and that gets shown in their countries. Every time they say “open borders” 1000 immigrants say “woo hoo, let’s go!”.
*lies
*fail

In a panic because his dismantling of the air safety boards, firing the FAA head, putting a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers who are already 30%+ understaffed, and erasing any job security for the remaining few the day before (when there was another near miss between helicopters and planes due to understaffing and the added stress he intentionally put them under) only took a day to cause a mid air crash, the moron is blaming Biden for training disabled people to work in the field….

…..obviously forgetting the order to hire more disabled people for air traffic control was made by him in 2019 because there was a shortage back then and that was his “fix” (didn’t fix anything), or hoping his people are too stupid to look it up knowing they are all too dumb to remember what happened yesterday.

Every word is a lie, every action a disaster.

America won’t survive 4 more months of this, forget 4 years.
Remember remember the 5th of November…..Where’s America’s Guy Falks? Can he make it the 5th of March instead please….we don’t have until November.

By decree, he has also claimed to have ended FEMA, saying states should take care of themselves, not each other. The south is doomed….California will just withhold federal taxes and pay for itself, and save tens of billions of dollars per year that way, Louisiana alone will be $10 billion per year in the hole or more. All southern states are “takers” from the fed… Enjoy.

Eggs are $9 already and skyrocketing and he completely abandoned the promise to lower grocery prices, now says it’s impossible.

When told his policies are already crashing the economy on live TV by Hannity he answered “I don’t care”.

We will be in a depression this summer, and a real military invasion by Xmas (unless he hands Alaska to Russia and Hawaii to China).

His first plan to stop the Ukraine war….tell Putin he is planning tariffs and sanctions on anything Russia sells the U.S. (clearly not knowing they’ve been in effect for years already, and that Russia hasn’t sold anything to the US in years).

Pardoned more terrorists including those who pleaded guilty to treason/sedition and violence against police.
Some were re-arrested for more violent felonies they committed under a day after release. He invited these convicted anti American criminal thugs to the Whitehouse.
This is exactly what he did in 2020 in Afghanistan before handing the country to the criminal terrorist Taliban (yes, he even invited Taliban leaders to Camp David and the Whitehouse)…a group he seems to look up to. Thank goodness some judges refuse to dismiss with prejudice so they can be retried if law and order ever return to America….unlikely.

Once again, he already dismantled our pandemic response team right as bird flu is emerging in America, and decreed our health agencies cannot make any statements or recommendations but must keep silent and useless. Buy PPE!

His plans to deport every undocumented alien are estimated to cost multiple trillions per year directly just to try and cost the economy up to another $10 trillion per year in lost production…absolutely devastating and turning us into a third world nation overnight.

Is there peace in Ukraine yet? His new stated plan is to ask President Xi of China who is supplying Russia with military equipment and ammo to solve it for him. Russia is publicly mocking him and Smelania (by broadcasting her soft core porn constantly), laughing at his “threats” and giddy at their luck that Biden is gone and their cucked boy is back.

Shocker, these decrees are all directly from project 2025, written by the project 2025 committees, and many Trump doesn’t know what he’s signing since he wasn’t involved in drafting the orders….exactly as we knew would happen.

UPDATE: Decree #1, ending birthright citizenship, shut down by a Republican judge with a hilarious rebuke.

Also fun, 75% of farm workers didn’t show up to work this week. Harvests are essentially cancelled. Prepare for double digit inflation at the grocery store in short order. $9 eggs is just a start.

Just looking at the thumbnail and anyone will know how stupid it is as a transport vehicle. I just want to see it hit a speedbump, pothole or just cornering at speed before the balls fly off. Fun engineering project, perhaps. If the "cups" are deeper than the top half of the ball and can grips it tight, then it'll start to make sense.

The look of the thing reminds me Kaneda's bike in Akira though.

We NEED an IRL Kaneda bike, with all those Nikola Tesla's electric tentacles effects.

Multiple people have been arrested for starting these and other fires in LA. A man with a propane torch was caught lighting Xmas trees and garbage cans that seem to be the start of the Kenneth fire, a woman was caught starting fires near Palisades on the 8th (her fires were reportedly put out, so maybe not the start of that fire) and there’s footage of what’s claimed to be people starting fires in what looks like down town LA tonight.

One of two “super scoopers” on loan from Canada is out of commission after hitting a civilian drone this morning, further hampering efforts. Fortunately the plane managed to land safely with a hole in its wing and not crash into residential LA.
It is a crime to fly a drone in an active disaster area, with a $75k fine and up to 12 months in prison.
Firefighters lost water pressure when PG&E shut off electricity to the pumps that maintain water pressure to keep the lines from sparking new fires, again hampering fire fighting efforts. They are working on getting generators attached to the pumping stations to restore pressure.
At least one new fire started in LA today, suspected of being arson.
This already looks to be the most costly natural disaster in American history, and it is still unfolding.

I hope Biden manages to deliver the aid he has promised before he leaves office. The felon will clearly try to block any aid to a blue state out of personal spite and will leave us to fend for ourselves. (If only we could do the same)

Looks like more and more people are losing their jobs to these sons of bees. There's a buzz going around it's really going to sting. In the long run they will probably bumble our way of life. Just be carefull with Every Breath You Take.

The last one (train) looks just like an endless mobile runner game like Alto’s Adventure, now just made by AI.

Finally, only 60 years after the Harrier debuted we have another v-tol fighter.

It’s so weird to see v-tol. It looks *almost fake seeing a plane do that.

*(“almost” because I watched it minimized on an iPad…I want my vote back)

Shocker…MTG has publicly threatened to expose all her Republican colleagues for all the disgusting sex crimes they committed that she knows about unless they hide and ignore the disgusting underaged paid sex and drug crimes Gaetz bragged about with photos and receipts and confirm him as the nations top law enforcer without looking at or releasing the completed report on his multitude of crimes.

Also shocking, cowardly pedophilic republicans caved to the blackmail and will cover up the documented child rape, sex trafficking, and drug dealing to minors by the AG nominee to hide their own pedophilia and ties to Epstein.

Shocking again, because the report is guaranteed to leak more and what’s public knowledge is already completely disqualifying and prosecutable (his friend who with Gaetz did the same sex trafficking and child drugging with less proof is in prison), Gaetz pulled himself as a nominee.
Expect another slightly less outrageous but just as dangerous replacement, it’s the felon’s MO to first make an outrageous demand so his second demand looks reasonable by comparison despite it still being outrageous.

Also shocking, Pete Hegseth (defense Secretary nominee) is also under investigation for a violent sexual assault in 2017 and has multiple other accusations of violent sexual assault.

Child sex trafficker and drug pusher Matt Gaetz picked for AG by the rapist and multi decade long self described “Epstein partner in crime”!?! (Recently released audio recordings prove they never cut ties).
When might you realize every MAGA leader has at least one child rape/sexual assault in their past (looking at you, Boebert)…some apparently hundreds.
I think you know it and worse than not caring, you support it.

You cite well known and untrustworthy, alarmist, constant crash predicting, conspiracy theory spreading, alt right, Russian propaganda outlet Zero Hedge as your best source!?! 😂 😂 😂
Must be true then, no need to look into it further.

“ We rate ZeroHedge an extreme right-biased conspiracy website based on the promotion of false/misleading/debunked information that routinely denigrates the left.” - media bias fact-check
“ US intelligence officials on Tuesday accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership, Zero Hedge, of amplifying Kremlin propaganda.” - Bloomberg
“Ad Fontes Media rates ZeroHedge in the Strong Right category of bias and as Unreliable, Problematic in terms of reliability.” - Ad Fontes Media
“Wallace-Wells observed that the site demonstrated a pro-Russia bias, stating the site had a "pointed" Russophilia.” - Wikipedia

You are such a willing liar….I don’t believe you actually believe 10% of what you post. How much has Russia paid you this year for your nonsense?

It’s hilarious you still spout the “these numbers will be revised” stupidity despite all the revisions this summer being revised UP…BETTER numbers in reality than those you said were fake, fantastical, pie in the sky dreams. The economy is booming by every measure, and a real boom, not some fake phantom on paper only boom, you just need an excuse for when Dumb Donny crashes it by springtime and are willing to believe any idiocy that will support that need. Didn’t you say just a month ago something stupid like 100% of new jobs created went to undocumented aliens? Now you want to try the stupid lie that they are 100% fake government jobs created solely to fake the numbers!?! 😂
Have you heard you?

Crappy.
Mine are infinitely better. As a kid, an ant bite (or any sting) would make my entire arm swell until it looked like it might pop. Now I keep bees and barely notice stings. I just quit reacting at some point.
I took shots daily for years (early 80s) to get over food and pollen allergies only to move where there’s different pollen, but it’s still better.

Yep, being old sucks…but I’ve found that for the most part it’s a choice, one easily made by ignoring your best options. I have a bad back, and had a paralyzed dog for 7 years. Together they gave me plenty of excuses to stay on the couch far too much. I honestly feel like I’ve reversed 25 years of aging with just some exercise (consistent long dog walking) and eating just slightly better for 18 months. Since I’m bald, I don’t even have gray hair!
