Sounds like what someone might make up who was retroactively making up reasons for commonly used terms.

Third truth, it’s not just Israeli leaders who are promoting the violence against Palestine, and many of those that do use their Judaism as a shield against criticism.

I appreciate you sharing your perspective. I’m largely committed to upgrading to 11s now, but can I ask did 10s require spreading or cold-setting the rear dropout spacing?

If you can used to driving electric, I’m confident you could get used to a vehicle with start-stop.

Citation needed. What law specifies that?

It’s not literally illegal, at worst it may void your warranty.

The picture used in this article is literally the button to turn the feature off.

You’d think the “gas is too expensive” crowd would welcome a 5% decrease.

I’m all for making sure government spend (in the form of mileage credits) are proportional to fuel savings in reality.

I’m just not sure this government is unbiased here.

A different set of forces would activate those to be sure. I know rollover forces deploy side airbags.

Again, it’s a cybertruck, so its poor craftsmanship is probably enough to blame.

I feel like I have to address the airbag situation. Airbags don’t deploy upon impact (at least not directly), but rather upon any significant deceleration. Anytime the vehicle decelerates enough that your body is thrown forward with force is when an [front] airbag would deploy. You know the thing where your seatbelt locks up as you’re braking? Same principle, but a higher threshold.

So the father back up your point, I cannot see how an e-scooter, sideswiping or even being hit head-on, could cause enough deceleration that would deploy the airbags.

Then again, it’s the cyber truck, so from a “safety” perspective who knows.
