@t4hiro @MaryAliciaZiff@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth , I will know in roughly a year, when they are actually producing the model I want.

For soul... I have a pretty weird collection of cars, a 74 Saab Sonett, a 68 VW kit car, a 51 Chevy van. I want to electrify the kit car as well. Those costs are getting pretty low.

@t4hiro @MaryAliciaZiff@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth , I preordered an Aptera, for myself. My issue with Tesla is the right to repair. I am more an engineer than an artist, so 'ugly' doesn't mean anything to me. I like 'function' over all else. Tesla's 'function' very well. Even with their older designs.

@t4hiro @MaryAliciaZiff@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth I just don't understand WHY. Teslas are great cars, honestly the best cars on the road today. Amazingly safe. I understand thinking Musk is an idiot, he is. And Ford was a bigot who helped the Nazis. Walter Chrysler and William C. Durant (G.M.) hated unions. I doubt there is an honorable one among the lot of them... So just judge the product.

We are heartbroken to learn that our dear friend #DanielEllsberg, world-renowned whistleblower and Freedom of the Press Foundation co-founder, has passed away at the age of 92. freedom.press/news/daniel-ells

@TonyaCanning @flexghost , I just read an article that described her as "still coloring inside of the lines", and that the DOJ has a process to expedite security clearances in cases like this, the only holdup is that the trump main lawyer is a registered foreign agent for Venezuela.

I wonder if the MAGAs know that....

@TonyaCanning @flexghost , at some point, Cannon will be tossed off the case if there are delays.

Portland OR, spring of 2021 , me and my family were headed to the park on Shabbat, it was the first time we been out in a while (both parents are trans and 1 of our 3 children are trans). My partner was pushing me in my wheelchair and the oldest was pulling a red wagon that my trans child was sitting in, the youngest was walking beside me. Three men come up behind us and attack us and attempt to abduct my trans child. We were screaming for help while a group of 10 or more people watched on. NO ONE CAME TO OUR AID!! My partner (trans femme) used some tactics to get the men to back off and we went straight to the park where we were supposed to be anyway. I had data on my smart phone and was messaging a local mutual aid trans safe Facebook group telling them what happened and asking for back up to walk us home. I got some thumbs up and one comment: "I'm sorry that happened to you" and then nothing. No one came .

@ShinyAmygdala @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social

I have the same advice for you with your situation that I have for everyone else who faces discrimination.

Arm yourself
Move in groups.
Film everything.

I feel for you, but I can't protect you. No police force will protect you, no advocacy org will be able to be there at all times.

@flexghost , I highly doubt most lawyers who would work for trump can get a security clearance.

@MaryAliciaZiff@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth , also, addressing recalls, those happen every day, but with many cars, it is done over the air with a software upgrade. Yu no longer need to go to a dealership and have parts added or replaced for all recalls.

@MaryAliciaZiff@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth , 17 deaths since 2019.... 17 deaths per DAY is what other car companies experience. 17 since 2019 is an incredibly low number. I mean astronomically low.

@HumanServitor @protecttruth , as far as I can tell, the difference is where the driving occurs. The self driving cars suck in the city at slow speeds, but are far better than humans on highways. Highways are where most deaths occur. So get a self driving car if you want to live, and drive it yourself in town.

@protecttruth , ten times more dangerous doesn't mean ten times as many deaths. Most deaths are on the highways, where self driving cars are far better drivers than human beings. I suspect an agenda here... I also suspect that the GM, Ford, and Comma systems are still slightly behind Tesla, but catching up fast. I have ordered a new car, the 1st one in my life, with the Comma system, level two. I suspect it will be far superior to my own driving on the highways.

@Free_Press , I bet those guys are UNDERCOVER ANTIFA spies from the national headquarters!

@Free_Press Wait, they found actual black guys wearing the 'blacks for trump' shirts???

@victor@tooters.org , bad marketing there... I can see why they might ban photography in some areas, the tables being possibly the #1 spot to ban... But still, they were not exactly accommodating. Strange. Well, you can spend your money elsewhere, and so can the rest of us.
